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.

Its better to shoot and miss, then to let time run out and wonder what if
Michael Jordan
Image
To learn to succeed, you must first learn to fail.
Michael Jordan
Image
Success isn't something you chase. It's something you have to put forth the effort for constantly. Then maybe it'll come when you least expect it. Most people don't understand that.
Michael Jordan
Image
You always have to focus in life on what you want to achieve.
Michael Jordan
Image
I didn't come here to be average.
Michael Jordan
Image
When I step onto the court, I don't have to think about anything. If I have a problem off the court, I find that after I play, my mind is clearer and I can come up with a better solution. It's like therapy. It relaxes me and allows me to solve problems.

There will be a player greater than me.
Michael Jordan
Image
For a competitive junkie like me, golf is a great solution because it smacks you in the face every time you think you have accomplished something. That to me has taken over a lot of the energy and competitiveness for basketball.
Michael Jordan

The best evaluation I can make of a player is to look in his eyes and see how scared they are.
Michael Jordan
Image
The key to success is failure
Michael Jordan
Image
There have been times when I have failed. But there have never been times when I thought I would fail
Michael Jordan
Image
I can't speak for the future. I have no crystal ball.
Michael Jordan
Image
Once I get the ball, you're at my mercy. There is nothing you can say or do about it. I own the ball.
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 heave the basketball I know it sails in a parabola, exhibiting perfect symmetry, which is interrupted by the basket. It's funny, but it is always interrupted by the basket.
Michael Jordan
Image
If you can't stop thinking about it, don't stop working on it.
Michael Jordan
Image
You know what I think? Very few people play because they love the game. Most of them play because they make good money. They keep playing because of the money. I could care less about it. If I don't love the game, no check is going to keep me playing.
Michael Jordan
Image
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
Image
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

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.
