It turns out that Jordan has an important business principle, that is, "advertising is always made of American goods", because the car incident is closely related to "dignity".

In a sense, Jordan outside the stadium gave a good ideological and moral education lesson to the teenagers who worshipped him, which is the true moral conscience and social responsibility of a star. On the contrary, our various

"stars" are also idols that teenagers worship. What about their performance? We know that some singers don't sing very well, but they are keen to take strange forms to extremes; Some movie stars don't work hard on performances, but they always hype themselves up with gossip.
