The game of basketball has been everything to me. My place of refuge, place I've always gone where I needed comfort and peace.

The basketball court for me, during a game, is the most peaceful place I can imagine. On the basketball court, I worry about nothing. When I'm out there, no one can bother me.
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
But my drive to win is so great ... I just step over that line. ... It's very embarrassing, ... one of the things you totally regret. So you look at yourself in the mirror and say, 'I was stupid.'
Michael Jordan

Michael Jordan
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
