More quotes by Michael Jordan
If you love the game, nobody can take that from you.
Michael Jordan
The NBA is the strongest professional sports league in the world. The league and the game is bigger than any one person, Michael Jordan included, and they always will be. I hope that today players, especially our young players, continue to recognize that simple fact. Nothing is more important than the game itself and the fans who support it.
Michael Jordan
I failed so therefore I succeed.

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
Suddenly all is quiet. The other nine players? They're all moving in slow motion! I'm at normal speed! I know where everyone's going even before they know themselves. The basket is huge, maybe six feet across! How can I miss? It's like throwing a rock into a pond.
Michael Jordan
Sometimes, things may not go your way, but the effort should be there every single night.
Michael Jordan
My attitude going into training camp as a rookie was to impress. I wanted to impress my teammates, my coaches, the owners, everybody. I wanted them to say, ?This kid is special. This kid has the right mind, the right skills, the right motivation?.
Michael Jordan
Its better to shoot and miss, then to let time run out and wonder what if
Michael Jordan
My most memorable dunk, that I think about very, very often, is the Patrick Ewing dunk.
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 want people to understand, gambling is not a bad thing if you do it within the framework of what it's meant to be, which is fun and entertaining.
Michael Jordan
If you don't back it up with performance and hard work, talking doesn't mean a thing.
Michael Jordan
