Quote

Basketball isn't just about the bright lights, packed arenas and highlight reels. Basketball is a way of life. Basketball is a relationship between you and the ball, you and your teammates. If you love the game, nobody can take that from you.

If I have something and move forward, it is only my weakness, which I hate and turn into my strength. You are not lost as long as you do not give up!
Michael Jordan
Image
I missed 9000 shots in my career, lost almost 300 games and missed the shot to win the game 26 times.
Michael Jordan
Image
I would never play an extra year for money. I play the game because I love it. I just so happen to get paid. If I don't feel I still enjoy the game, I can care less what a year is worth. I'm not going to play the game just because of money.

You have to expect things of yourself before you can do them.
Michael Jordan
Image
I basically expect anything. Isn't that wild? I used to surprise myself a lot: certain moves, how I'd get out of trouble. But at some point, you accept the talent that you have, you accept your creativity.
Michael Jordan
Image
I want to be perceived as a guy who played his best in all facets, not just scoring. A guy who loved challenges.
Michael Jordan
Image
Each time I step on the basketball court, I never know what will happen. I live for the moment. I play for the moment.
Michael Jordan
Image
I hope the millions of people I've touched have the optimism and desire to share their goals and hard work and persevere with a positive attitude.
Michael Jordan
Image
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
Image
I'm not afraid to take a step and if I fall, I fall. I pick myself up and move on. If we can all learn one thing in life, it's don't be afraid to take on something that you believe you're capable of achieving.

Sometimes you need to get hit in the head to realize that you're in a fight.
Michael Jordan
Image
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
Image
I think the players win the championship, and the organization has something to do with it, don't get me wrong. But don't try to put the organization above the players.
Michael Jordan
Image
Suddenly all is quiet. The other nine players? They're all moving in slow motion! I'm at normal speed! I know where everyone's going even before they know themselves. The basket is huge, maybe six feet across! How can I miss? It's like throwing a rock into a pond.
Michael Jordan
Image
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.'

The harder I prepare, the luckier I seem to get.
