In reality, I never want to grow up.
I Own the guy guarding me.
There’s only one 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.
Playing sick. That is so hard to do. It has to be a total mental challenge, as well as the physical challenge.
If you love the game, nobody can take that from you.
Since I’ve been in chiropractic, I’ve improved by leaps and bounds both mentally and physically.
I know the signs of scaredness.
I viewed it as a business, but I always viewed it as a game. An opportunity to show my skills, my basketball skills, amongst the best in the world.
Number 45 doesn’t explode like Number 23 used to.
I failed so therefore I succeed.
Basketball isn’t my job.
I dont take pictures with Niggas.
I make shoes for white suburban kids, not the poor black kids. That would be like opening a restaurant for people without stomachs.
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.
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!
I didn’t come here to be average.
How many times have your parents told you not to do things, and the next thing you know, you go do it? And you realized you shouldn’t have done it.
I know what I would do if I were coach. I’d determine our strengths and weaknesses and utilize them. And it’s pretty clear what our strength is.
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.
