More quotes by 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.

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
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
I realized that if I was going to achieve anything in life I had to be aggressive. I had to get out there and go for it... I know fear is an obstacle for some people, but it's an illusion to me.
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
My body could stand the crutches but my mind couldn't stand the sideline.
Michael Jordan

Playing sick. That is so hard to do. It has to be a total mental challenge, as well as the physical challenge.
Michael Jordan
If you're trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks. I've had them everybody has had them
Michael Jordan
Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen.
