Michael Jordan
I don't know about flying, but sometimes it feels like I have these little wings on my feet.
Michael Jordan
I viewed it as a business, but I always viewed it as a game. An opportunity to show my skills, my basketball skills, amongst the best in the world.
Michael Jordan
The harder I prepare, the luckier I seem to get.
Michael Jordan
Being afraid on the court, means you're not confident of your skills
Michael Jordan
I'd take 12 guys who had a strong passion for the game over 12 guys who don't respect the game.
Michael Jordan
Every time I feel tired while I am exercising and training, I close my eyes to see that picture, to see that list with my name. This usually motivates me to work again.

Michael Jordan
Don't let them drag you down by rumors just go with what you believe in.
Michael Jordan
People say they wish they were Michael Jordan. OK, do it for a year. Do it for two years. Do it for five years. When you get past the fun part, then go do the part where you get into cities at three a.m. and you have fifteen people waiting for autographs when you're as tired as hell.
Michael Jordan
There are no shortcuts. I approached practices the same way I approached games. You can't turn it on and off like a faucet. I couldn't dog it during practice and then, when I needed that extra push late in the game, expect it to be there. Very few people get anywhere by taking shortcuts.
Michael Jordan
When I step onto the court, I don't have to think about anything. If I have a problem off the court, I find that after I play, my mind is clearer and I can come up with a better solution. It's like therapy. It relaxes me and allows me to solve problems.
Michael Jordan
I heave the basketball I know it sails in a parabola, exhibiting perfect symmetry, which is interrupted by the basket. It's funny, but it is always interrupted by the basket.
Michael Jordan
I'm a firm believer in goal setting. Step by step. I can't see any other way of accomplishing anything.
Michael Jordan
Sometimes I wonder what it will be like to look back on all this. Whether it will seem real.
Michael Jordan
Never think of the consequences of failing for you will always think of a negative result. Think only positive thoughts and your mind will gravitate towards those thoughts!
Michael Jordan
Once I get the ball, you're at my mercy. There is nothing you can say or do about it. I own the ball.
Michael Jordan
