" "

I was in Chicago in 1994 and at this time I had no thoughts of coming back and playing the game of basketball, Bryon Russell came over to me and said, "Why'd you quit? You know I could guard you." When I did come back in 1995 and we played Utah in '96, I'm at the center circle and Bryon Russell is standing next to me. I said, "You remember what you said in 1994 about, 'I think I can guard you, I can shut you down, I would love to play against you?' Well, you're about to get your chance."

Additional quotes by Michael Jordan

If we all work together, we can foster greater understanding, positive change and create a more peaceful world for ourselves, our children, our families and our communities.

Winning has a price. Leadership has a price. I pushed people when they didn't wanna be pushed. I challenged people when they didn't wanna be challenged. But I never asked them to do something I wasn't willing to do myself.
