More quotes by 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
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
A loss is not a failure until you make an excuse.
Michael Jordan
It is nerve-wracking watching my kids' games.
Michael Jordan
I want to be perceived as a guy who played his best in all facets, not just scoring. A guy who loved challenges.
Michael Jordan
If you love the game, nobody can take that from you.
Michael Jordan
Basketball isn't just about the bright lights, packed arenas and highlight reels. Basketball is a way of life. Basketball is a relationship between you and the ball, you and your teammates. If you love the game, nobody can take that from you.
Michael Jordan
Winners don't just learn the fundamentals, they master them. You have to monitor your fundamentals constantly because the only thing that changes will be your attention to them.
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
Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen.
Michael Jordan
But my drive to win is so great ... I just step over that line. ... It's very embarrassing, ... one of the things you totally regret. So you look at yourself in the mirror and say, 'I was stupid.'
Michael Jordan
I'm not afraid to take a step and if I fall, I fall. I pick myself up and move on. If we can all learn one thing in life, it's don't be afraid to take on something that you believe you're capable of achieving.
Michael Jordan
The basketball court for me, during a game, is the most peaceful place I can imagine. On the basketball court, I worry about nothing. When I'm out there, no one can bother me.
Michael Jordan
I play to win, whether during practice or a real game.
Michael Jordan
It's absolutely wrong that I don't want guys to challenge me. And the people who say that aren't in the room.
Michael Jordan
For a competitive junkie like me, golf is a great solution because it smacks you in the face every time you think you have accomplished something. That to me has taken over a lot of the energy and competitiveness for basketball.
Michael Jordan
I know fear is an obstacle for some people, but it is an illusion to me . . . Failure always made me try harder next time.
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 would never play an extra year for money. I play the game because I love it. I just so happen to get paid. If I don't feel I still enjoy the game, I can care less what a year is worth. I'm not going to play the game just because of money.
Michael Jordan
I don't do things half-heartedly. Because I know if I do, I can expect half-hearted results. Most people get it the honest way by setting their goals and committing themselves to achieving their goals. That's the only way I did it anyway. Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence wins championships.
Michael Jordan
