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.

More quotes by Michael Jordan
It's heavy duty to try to do everything and please everybody . . . My job was to go out there and play the game of basketball as best I can, ... People may not agree with that . . . I can't live with what everyone's impression of what I should or what I shouldn't do.
Michael Jordan
The game is my wife. It demands loyalty and responsibility, and it gives me back fulfillment and peace.
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
Number 45 doesn't explode like Number 23 used to.
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
If you love the game, nobody can take that from you.
Michael Jordan
Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence wins championships.
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
Sometimes you need to get hit in the head to realize that you're in a fight.
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
Even when I'm old and grey, I won't be able to play it, but I'll still love the game.
Michael Jordan
Failure makes me work even harder.
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
You have competition every day because you set such high standards for yourself that you have to go out every day and live up to that.
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
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
Success doesn't stop when you get there
Michael Jordan
There was never any fear for me, no fear of failure. If I miss a shot, so what?
Michael Jordan
I've never lost a game I just ran out of time.
Michael Jordan
