More quotes by Michael Jordan
A loss is not a failure until you make an excuse.
Michael Jordan
The game is my wife. It demands loyalty and responsibility, and it gives me back fulfillment and peace.
Michael Jordan
If you pass the ball to Bill Cartwright, you'll never get the ball from me.
Michael Jordan
We're not winning because of talent. We're just beating bad teams.
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 failed so therefore I succeed.
Michael Jordan
The game of basketball has been everything to me. My place of refuge, place I've always gone where I needed comfort and peace. It's been the site of intense pain and the most intense feelings of joy and satisfaction. It's a relationship that has evolved over time, given me the greatest respect and love for the game.
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
Anything can happen if you are willing to put in the work and remain open to the possibility. Dreams are realized by effort, determination, passion and staying connected to that sense of who you are.
Michael Jordan
Its better to shoot and miss, then to let time run out and wonder what if
Michael Jordan
I can remember a game, we were down with about 5 to 10 points, I go off about 25 points, we come back and win the game, we're walking off the floor. Tex (Winter) looks at me and says There's no I in team! I looked at Tex and say, There's not, but there's an 'I' in win!
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
What is love? Love is playing every game as if it's your last!
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
My body could stand the crutches but my mind couldn't stand the sideline.
Michael Jordan
People say they wish they were Michael Jordan. OK, do it for a year. Do it for two years. Do it for five years. When you get past the fun part, then go do the part where you get into cities at three a.m. and you have fifteen people waiting for autographs when you're as tired as hell.
Michael Jordan
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.
Michael Jordan
Gambling is legal and betting is legal, for what I bet.
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
Be true to the game, because the game will be true to you. If you try to shortcut the game, then the game will shortcut you. If you put forth the effort, good things will be bestowed upon you. That's truly about the game, and in some ways that's about life too.
Michael Jordan
