More quotes by 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
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
As athletes, we're used to reacting quickly. Here, it's 'come, stop, come, stop.' There's a lot of downtime. That's the toughest part of the day.

You know what I think? Very few people play because they love the game. Most of them play because they make good money. They keep playing because of the money. I could care less about it. If I don't love the game, no check is going to keep me playing.
Michael Jordan
My most memorable dunk, that I think about very, very often, is the Patrick Ewing dunk.
Michael Jordan
It's not about the shoes, it's what you do in them.
Michael Jordan
Drugs have been in the game for a long time. They were there when I was in college, and even in high school. It's in life. It's in business. It's everywhere.
Michael Jordan
I play to win, whether during practice or a real game.
Michael Jordan
I make shoes for white suburban kids, not the poor black kids. That would be like opening a restaurant for people without stomachs.
Michael Jordan
Being nervous isn't bad. It just means something important is happening.
Michael Jordan
I want to wake up every day and do whatever comes in my mind, and not feel pressure or obligations to do anything else in my life.
Michael Jordan
The key to success is failure
Michael Jordan
I smoked my first cigar in 1991, when we won the championship. Up to that point, I had never smoked a cigar, never smoked anything.
Michael Jordan
I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.
Michael Jordan
If I had been playing for money I would have complained a long time ago that I was underpaid.
Michael Jordan
