More quotes by Michael Jordan
Being afraid on the court, means you're not confident of your skills
Michael Jordan
There was never any fear for me, no fear of failure. If I miss a shot, so what?
Michael Jordan
Life is a sport...drink it up.
Michael Jordan
Failure builds muscle, determination, and dreams.
Michael Jordan
I'm not a Twitterer, I'm not a twerker, I'm not a Facebooker. I am a ... nothin' ... I'm old school.
Michael Jordan
I missed 9000 shots in my career, lost almost 300 games and missed the shot to win the game 26 times.
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
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
A coach is someone that sees beyond your limits and guides you to greatness!
Michael Jordan
When I play against someone that's new in the league, I make him respect me. They may have heard about me, but now you get to see me actually in front of you. That drives me.
Michael Jordan
I heave the basketball I know it sails in a parabola, exhibiting perfect symmetry, which is interrupted by the basket. It's funny, but it is always interrupted by the basket.
Michael Jordan
I can't speak for the future. I have no crystal ball.
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
Sometimes I wonder what it will be like to look back on all this. Whether it will seem real.
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
Winners don't just learn the fundamentals, they master them. You have to monitor your fundamentals constantly because the only thing that changes will be your attention to them.
Michael Jordan
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.
Michael Jordan
I'd take 12 guys who had a strong passion for the game over 12 guys who don't respect the game.
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
If you are confident you have done everything possible to prepare yourself, then there is nothing to fear.
Michael Jordan
