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?

People ask me if I could fly, I said, 'yeah....' for a little while.

I just feel that at this particular time in my career, I've reached the pinnacle of my career, I've achieved a lot in that short amount of time, if you want to call it short, but I just feel that I don't have anything else to myself to prove.

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.

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.

You don't show up on game day and expect to be great. Greatness happens in practice. You have to expect things of yourself before you can do them.
Michael Jordan
Image
I never feared about my skills because I put in the work. Work ethic eliminates fear. So if you put forth the work, what are you fearing? You know what you're capable of doing and what you're not.
Michael Jordan

Everybody has talent, but ability takes hard work.
Michael Jordan

I hope the millions of people I've touched have the optimism and desire to share their goals and hard work and persevere with a positive attitude.
Michael Jordan
Image
There was never any fear for me, no fear of failure. If I miss a shot, so what?
Michael Jordan
Image
To learn to succeed, you must first learn to fail.

It is nerve-wracking watching my kids' games.
