Michael Jordan, a basketball player in whom commentators have discerned aristocratic qualities and supernatural powers, has retired from the game that made him one of the worlds' best known and best paid sportsmen.
Last week's announcement was premature by most people's measurement - Jordan is 30 and at the height of his playing and earning power - but it was not, by his own account, taken hastily, or rashly. "This is, " he said, with a rare stumble, " the perfect timing for me to walk away."
After three championships with the Chicago Bulls, a second gold medal with the US team at the 1992 Olympics, Jordan felt his motivation slipping away. "I'm at the pinnacle, " he told a thronged press conference. "I just feel I don't have anything else to prove."
But this explanation may appear too simple to satisfy the skeptics, who have recently discovered that Jordan does not lead an untroubled private life. First came the allegations that he gambled - in a country where gambling is mostly illegal - and that his gambling was out of control. Then his father was shot dead on July 23.

邁克爾.喬丹，一位被評(píng)論家們譽(yù)為有著貴族氣質(zhì)和超凡才華的籃球運(yùn)動(dòng)員，已經(jīng)從籃壇隱退，而正是籃球這項(xiàng)運(yùn)動(dòng)。使其成為世界上最為著名和報(bào)酬最為豐厚的運(yùn)動(dòng)員之一。
依照大多數(shù)人的衡量標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，上周的宣布顯得為時(shí)過(guò)早，因?yàn)閱痰偰陮?0，正處在其運(yùn)動(dòng)生涯和賺錢本領(lǐng)之顛峰。但按他自己的說(shuō)法，他作出這一決定，既非一時(shí)沖動(dòng)，亦非出于魯莽。"這于我而言--"他說(shuō)道，帶著一種罕見的吞吞吐吐，"不啻是淡出體壇的絕佳時(shí)機(jī)。"
在隨芝加哥公牛隊(duì)贏取了三次冠軍，并隨美國(guó)隊(duì)在1992年奧運(yùn)會(huì)上再奪金牌之后，喬丹覺(jué)得他的行為動(dòng)機(jī)正在悄然消逝。"我已攀至我事業(yè)的頂峰"，他在一個(gè)人滿為患的記者招待會(huì)上告訴大家，"我真的覺(jué)得我已經(jīng)沒(méi)有什么別的東西好去證明的.了。"
但此番解釋對(duì)于那些持懷疑態(tài)度的人來(lái)說(shuō)顯得過(guò)于簡(jiǎn)單，無(wú)法令人置信。這些懷疑論調(diào)者最近發(fā)現(xiàn)，喬丹并非過(guò)著一種風(fēng)平浪靜的個(gè)人生活。首先傳出的是他進(jìn)行賭博的傳言--在一個(gè)賭博很大程度上為非法的國(guó)家里，并且，他的賭博已到了無(wú)法收拾的地步。其次是他的父親于7月23日被人槍殺身亡。
