How many people know the Michael Jordan samurai sword story? (self.nba)

有多少人知道喬丹和日本武士刀之間的故事？

我之前最先在論壇里發了這個帖子，還以為大多數都知道這個事情，從而會被沉貼。但是在經過了一些調查後，我發現論壇里好像從來沒發過這樣的帖子。那麼現在我就來具體說說這件事吧，從這張令人好奇的照片開始。

故事：當喬丹在北卡大學的第一年結束後，一些傳道士開始在當地的監獄裡做一個特殊的*河蟹*——這些行為的具體原因未知——但是包括以下幾點：

首先讓一位名人躺在桌子上

之後在他的肚子上放一個西瓜

然後拿一把日本武士刀來

最後請來一位蒙著雙眼的持刀人

用這把武士刀猛地把放在名人肚子上的西瓜切成兩半，同時神奇的保證西瓜下面的人不受傷害。

我覺得做這個事情的道理在於，如此瘋狂的行為能夠展示信仰的力量，或是其他類似的事情。不管怎麼說，這一次的名人便是還非常年輕的喬丹。所以他們把喬丹帶到了監獄裡，讓他和監獄裡籃球最棒的傢伙單挑，從而贏得犯人們的尊敬，之後就把這位未來史上最偉大的球員請上了聖壇，來執行這次的武士刀挑戰。

只不過當時喬丹躺下的位置有些不尋常，而且這位執行的傳教士也很緊張，當然喬丹本人也開始緊張了，他躺了下去，然後又坐起來；之後躺下去後再次緊張的坐了起來，最終他同意讓其他的人扶著他躺下，同時他僅僅只需要閉上眼睛就行了。

但是整個執行的過程顯然在某種程度上是合理的，因為拿刀者砍了兩次才完成整個行為，最終用力有些過頭了，不僅僅把西瓜切成了兩半，同時也穿透了喬丹特別的全明星熱身服，並切到了衣服下面的皮膚。

挑戰剛剛結束後的情形如下。

幸運的是，傷口並不是很深，隨便縫幾針就能夠解決了。但是從那一天開始起，喬丹唯一流出的像血這樣的東西便是佳得樂飲料了。當然最後一句話只是我的猜測罷了。

完整的故事摸這裡，文章說故事最初的來源是1998年的芝加哥太陽時報，但是我找不到了，所以這很有可能是真人真事。

I originally posted it in this thread but figured it would get buried and most people knew about it already. But a few searches makes it seem like it"s never been posted on this sub. Here it is, starting with this intriguing photograph.

The story: after Jordan"s freshman year at UNC, some evangelist was doing a prison ministry tour in which -- and the reasons for this are unclear -- his act involved

Getting a notable person to lie down on a table

Putting a watermelon on their stomach

Getting a samurai sword

Putting on a blindfold

Chopping the watermelon in half with a mighty swoop of the samurai sword, while it rests on the person"s stomach, miraculously leaving them unscathed

I guess the idea was that this crazy act demonstrated the power of faith. Or something. Regardless, this time the notable person was still-young Jordan. So they brought Jordan to the prison, had him play against the prison"s best player to win the prisoners" respect (!), and set the future GOAT up on the altar for the sword trick.

Except Jordan was unusually lean, and the evangelist was nervous. And Jordan was too, first lying down then sitting up, then lying down and sitting back up again, until he eventually agreed to have someone just hold him down while he closed his eyes.

All of this was apparently somewhat justified, because the evangelist took two strikes to do it, went a little too far and cut through not only the watermelon, but through Jordan"s special All-star warmups, and into the skin below.

A picture of the immediate aftermath.

Luckily, the wound was not very deep, and a few stitches closed it up. But from that day forward, Michael Jordan resolved to bleed only Gatorade. The last sentence is my conjecture.

Full story here. That article says the original source is a 1998 Chicago Sun-Times article I can"t find, so it"s presumably legitimate.

Who the fuck would do that if they have a promising basketball career coming up. Especially if it isn"t staged. What the fuck?

請問哪一個有著極具前途籃球生涯的人會做出這種事情，尤其是這都不是在舞台上正大光明的表演，都特么的什麼鬼？

Well I mean if you were a beggar or something like that and they paid you to do it I could understand. But this says they only chose celebrities. And only performed in prisons. Wat?

我的意思是，如果你是個乞丐或處於類似的境地，然後人們付錢讓你這樣做的話，我都能理解。但是這上面說他們只選擇名人，而且只在監獄中執行，啥玩意？

i mean, jordan loves to gamble

我感覺，喬丹真的喜歡賭博。

[–]HornetsKeepItRealTV 98 指標 12小時前

In the Space Jam documentary, he gambled his freedom.

在《空中大灌籃》裡面，喬丹賭上了自己的自由。

Who does it? The GOAT. Lebron just doesn"t have that faith gene.

也不想想這是誰？史上最偉大的球員。勒布朗單純的就是沒有這種信仰基因。

Mike didn"t fear death. Another reason why LeBron will never be MJ

喬丹連死都不怕，這也是另外一個勒布朗永遠不會成為喬丹的原因。

[–]okaycoolokaybool 38 指標 12小時前

shit like this is why i think jordan was literally psychotic in regards to putting himself on the highest pedestal possible. he"d risk his life to make himself seem brave because someone said he wasn"t man enough.

見鬼，這就是為什麼在考慮到把自己放到最高層次上這個特點時，喬丹幾乎是個瘋子，他會冒著生命危險就為了讓自己看起來勇敢一點，而原因只是某個人說他不夠男人。

[–]Kingsantsinthegrass 296 指標 14小時前

I feel like you could get a young MJ to do a lot of shit if you just told him he wasn"t "man enough".

我感覺你能夠讓年輕的喬丹做很多蠢事，只要你對他說：「你不夠男人」。

[–]Warriorsdego_frank 26 指標 9小時前

Yeh, that"s it. He"s probably the most competitive person of our generation. Kids are amazed by LeBron and Michael had way more fire. Dude did not want to lose at anything. That"s probably not healthy, but neither is spending all day as a keyboard gangsta typing about games you never played and stats you could never come close to.

是的，就是這樣，他也許是我們這個時代最爭強好勝的人，現在的孩子們都被勒布朗所驚艷，但是喬丹有著超出勒布朗非常多的好勝心，他就是不想在任何事情上失敗。這也許並不健康，但是作為一個鍵盤狂徒整天對著你從沒打過的比賽和從沒獲得的數據狂噴大概也不會健康。

That isn"t even the stupidest thing a person shown in this picture did.

這甚至都不是這張照片里的兩個人中做的最蠢的一件事。

I mean if i could choose to die from either getting too high on coke or getting gutted like a fish by a lunatic in a prison, I would choose the former. But you"re not wrong.

我的意思是，如果我能夠在嗑藥過量窒息而死，和在監獄裡像一條魚一樣任由某個瘋子宰割之間做選擇的話，我肯定會選擇前者。但是你並沒有錯。

Oh shit. I totally blanked on that. I only know him from his draft night photo wearing the celtics hat

哇真見鬼，我完全忘記了他。我對他唯一的印象就是選秀那晚他帶著凱爾特人球帽的照片。

Harsh dude. His death was definitely a freak occurrence. The samurai sword bullshit is definitely far stupider than partying with some coke.

無知的傢伙，他的死絕對是意料之外的事情，但是喬丹這個日本武士刀的挑戰絕對比在聚會上嗑藥要蠢多了。

[–]76ersbaconshake8 212 指標 13小時前

People don"t realize this is the moment Jordan was granted the assassin like killer instinct. A samurai instilled his abilities into a basketball player and the rest is history.

人們沒有意識到這正是喬丹被賦予殺手本性的時刻，他成為了一名刺客，這把武士刀成就了他在籃球中的能力，剩下的便成為歷史了。

Being able to recall a near death experience could grant some people a mental edge that would help you clear your mind and focus on the moment...

一次瀕臨死亡的經歷能夠讓人們磨練出堅強的意志，從而能夠幫助你排除其他的干擾，專註於這一刻...

[–]CavaliersEasy-A 16 指標 8小時前

Pistons were like "Foul him whenever he comes to the lane" and Jordan was like "Whatever, not as bad as the time I got chopped up with a sword."

活塞的壞小子軍團對待喬丹就好像「不管他什麼時候突進內線，都給我犯規」，然後喬丹的回應就好像「隨便你們咯，不可能比我當時被武士刀砍傷時還糟糕。」

[–][GSW] Jeremy Linrbloyalty 5 指標 12小時前

It"s hilarious that Jordan was much more upset about the tear in his clothes than the tear in his stomach.

很具有諷刺意味的是，相比於肚子上的傷口，喬丹看上去對自己破碎的衣服更加沮喪。

[–]LakersBromine21 22 指標 13小時前

After shit like this easy to see why MJ was near psychopath competitive. Took a blade like an anime character, after that what do you care about a rival on the court.

在這種扯淡的事情後，你便能很輕易的看出為什麼喬丹在競爭上近乎達到了瘋狂的程度。他像一個動漫人物那樣去接受武士刀的劈砍，在這種事情發生之後，你還會在乎球場上的敵對場景嗎。

to add a weird postscript to this story, the martial arts evangelist who almost killed michael jordan was later jailed for sexual assault:

為這個故事加一個很怪異的補充，這個幾乎殺死喬丹的武術傳教士後來因為性騷擾而被捕入獄。
