The answer? One bite at a time. Which is how great players are made... a little bit at a time.
In 1995, at the end of the first Bulls practice after Jordan made his comeback to basketball, Michael walked to the baseline on his own, and started running windsprints. Without a word, all eleven of his teammates joined in.
Somebody asked Jordan, after he won his fifth championship in 1997 why he’d bother to keep playing. “Because,” he said, “I still think I can get better.”
The day after the now-immortalized ‘Flu Game’ in Utah, Jordan spent ninety minutes working out in the gym.
Being the “Michael Jordan” of whatever is synonymous with being the best. There's a reason Jordan was the best.
