More quotes by Michael Jordan
Life is a sport...drink it up.
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
We're beating a lot of poor teams. So what? We won a lot of games last year, too. Will Horace and Bill still be playing at this level in the playoffs...Can Pip keep it up?
Michael Jordan
Accept a loss as a learning experience, and never point fingers at your teammates
Michael Jordan
Everybody has talent, but ability takes hard work.
Michael Jordan
If you pass the ball to Bill Cartwright, you'll never get the ball from me.
Michael Jordan
When I was playing before I retired, I never really understood the appreciation and the respect that people gave me. People had treated me like a god or something, and that was very embarrassing.
Michael Jordan
Each time I step on the basketball court, I never know what will happen. I live for the moment. I play for the moment.
Michael Jordan
If I have an agenda or a goal, no one is going to deter me from what I want to do.
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
Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence wins championships.
Michael Jordan
Being nervous isn't bad. It just means something important is happening.
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 realize that I'm black, but I like to be viewed as a person, and this is everybody's wish.
Michael Jordan
The game of basketball has been everything to me. My place of refuge, place I've always gone where I needed comfort and peace. It's been the site of intense pain and the most intense feelings of joy and satisfaction. It's a relationship that has evolved over time, given me the greatest respect and love for the game.
Michael Jordan
The key to success is failure
Michael Jordan
Success isn't something you chase. It's something you have to put forth the effort for constantly. Then maybe it'll come when you least expect it. Most people don't understand that.
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
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
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
