More quotes by Michael Jordan
Great players never look in the mirror and think I'm a great basketball player. You ask yourself, Am I the best player I can be?
Michael Jordan
I set another goal, a reasonable, manageable goal that I could realistically achieve if I worked hard enough. I approached everything step by step.
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
My attitude going into training camp as a rookie was to impress. I wanted to impress my teammates, my coaches, the owners, everybody. I wanted them to say, ?This kid is special. This kid has the right mind, the right skills, the right motivation?.
Michael Jordan
If you are confident you have done everything possible to prepare yourself, then there is nothing to fear.
Michael Jordan

Michael Jordan
When I was playing before I retired, I never really understood the appreciation and the respect that people gave me. People had treated me like a god or something, and that was very embarrassing.
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
Sometimes I wonder what it will be like to look back on all this. Whether it will seem real.
Michael Jordan
I know fear is an obstacle for some people, but it is an illusion to me . . . Failure always made me try harder next time.
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
Every time I feel tired while I am exercising and training, I close my eyes to see that picture, to see that list with my name. This usually motivates me to work again.
Michael Jordan
Sometimes you need to get hit in the head to realize that you're in a fight.
Michael Jordan
Earn your leadership every day.
Michael Jordan
The best come from the worst
Michael Jordan
It's absolutely wrong that I don't want guys to challenge me. And the people who say that aren't in the room.
Michael Jordan
Playing sick. That is so hard to do. It has to be a total mental challenge, as well as the physical challenge.
