I've really never seen anyone so driven to win. You hear that all the time about athletes but him... it's astounding.
Some people have it, some people don't. You can't teach it, and I am not sure you can acquire it.
I am not watching this, and I was ambivalent about him at the time. I grew up rooting for the Showtime Lakers, and enjoyed rooting against the Piston Bad Boys. When the Bulls started dominating, I was anti-dynasty, and was relieved when he left and the Rockets won their two titles (and because they were a fun team to watch), then was annoyed to see another 3-peat. I never liked Jordan as a player, because he was so damn dominating. Which is a lame reason to dislike someone. But I always respected him.
I remember years ago there was a discussion where some black athletes and activists were saying it was imperative for them to give back to their communities. And I don't remember if it was explicitly said, or merely implied, but Jordan was all "eh, no, I earned this money, I will do with it whatever I want, and I don't need you to tell me what I need to do with it." I appreciated his forthrightness.
