It's easier for me to get ready for a game on the road because you're expected to lose when you play away from home. That's a challenge to right there and that perks my competitive juices.

More quotes by Michael Jordan
Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen.
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
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
If you love the game, nobody can take that from you.
Michael Jordan
I am free to make anything I want as long as I think it will sell.
Michael Jordan
To learn to succeed, you must first learn to fail.
Michael Jordan
I'm not out there sweating for three hours every day just to find out what it feels like to sweat.
Michael Jordan
My advice is find fuel in failure. Sometimes failure gets you closer to where you want to be.
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
You're an idiot. You've screwed up every play we ever ran. You're too stupid to even remember the plays. We ought to get rid of you.
Michael Jordan
The players today reflect how much the game has evolved and changed both in style and culture. [...] The game now has a wider appeal to a larger market.
Michael Jordan
Basketball isn't my job.
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
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
I play to win, whether during practice or a real game.
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.
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
Failure makes me work even harder.
Michael Jordan
If you're trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks. I've had them everybody has had them. But obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.
Michael Jordan
