More quotes by 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
To learn to succeed, you must first learn to fail.
Michael Jordan
The minute you get away from fundamentals – whether its proper technique, work ethic or mental preparation – the bottom can fall out of your game, your schoolwork, your job, whatever you’re doing.
Michael Jordan
Fundamentals were the most crucial part of my game in the NBA. Everything I did, everything I achieved, can be traced back to the way I approached the fundamentals.
Michael Jordan
I know what I would do if I were coach. I'd determine our strengths and weaknesses and utilize them. And it's pretty clear what our strength is.
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
I failed so therefore I succeed.
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
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.
Michael Jordan
The game is my wife. It demands loyalty and responsibility, and it gives me back fulfillment and peace.
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
It's always been said that when I can't find a way to do anything, I will find a way to do it.
Michael Jordan
Failure makes me work even harder.
Michael Jordan
I play to win, whether during practice or a real game. And I will not let anything get in the way of me and my competitive enthusiasm to win.
Michael Jordan
We had to be to the stadium at six o'clock for home games, and traffic was so bad it would take us an hour and fifteen or an hour and thirty minutes to drive. So now I'm sitting in a car for almost an hour and a half and I'm very tense. I'm worried about the traffic. So I started smoking a cigar going to the games.
Michael Jordan
Sometimes you need to get hit in the head to realize that you're in a fight.
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
Just play. Have fun. Enjoy the game.
Michael Jordan
You have to expect things of yourself before you can do them.
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
