from Page 9 ................ ..
What I was not aware of during the 19903,
was what was going on behind the scenes. I
have thoroughly enjoyed the personal stories of
the major players from that period of time, and
reliving the dynasty that was the Chicago Bulls.
And I have also so enjoyed getting to know
the real Michael Jordan.
Apparently, Jordan was nervous about the
series coming out because he was afraid he
would come off as a bad guy.
I don’t know whether or not he comes off
as a bad guy, but one thing I do know is that he
was intense and Singularly focused on winning.
He demanded excellence from his teammates, he
pushed them, he harassed them, but it was all to
bring out the best in each player and therefore
the team as a whole.
At one point, Jordan stated that while he '
was hard on his teammates he stressed that one
thing his teammates said about him was that he
never asked any of them to do something that he
wouldn’t do.
And that is exactly why he is the GOAT.
Jordan didn’t make the varsity squad his
sophomore year in high school. Instead of
blaming the coaches, or anyone else, Jordan took
that disappointment and used it to become better.
He worked tirelessly to improve his game so that
as a junior, not only would he make the team,
but would become arguably the best high school
player in the country at the time.
Granted; he is gified with amazing athletic

prowess, however, it was his hard work that
turned him into a phenomenal basketball player.
Jordan held himself at such a high level and
demanded excellence from himself. He used
whatever motivation that would come his way,
and little slights were such an indignation to him
and drove him to even higher levels of play than
one could ever anticipate.
Several times in the series, his former
opponents would laugh and say, “we shouldn’t
have pissed him off.” Though they laugh about
it now, each time that they would fire him up,
Jordan-would Come out and humiliate them on
the court.
There was nothing he wouldn’t do to get
himself to the place where he was going to
beat you. . ,
Watching the series has given me an even
deeper respect for Jordan, and got me thinking
about athletes today.
During this pandemic, organized sports have
been benched, however individual athletes have
truly been gified this opportunity to Work on
developing their skills in the sport that they love.
You don’t need an open gym, or field, to work
on the fundamentals of your game. All you need
is the drive and desire to be the best, and then
put that to work to become your absolute best.
We all could learn a lesson from the way
Jordan approached basketball. Never settle for
anything less than your best, and put in the work
to be the best. ‘
