Quotations by:
    Jordan, Michael


I’ve missed over 9,000 shots in my career.
I’ve lost almost 300 games.
26 times I’ve been trusted to take the game-winning shot and missed.
I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life.
And that is why I succeed.

Michael Jordan (b. 1963) American basketball pro
(Attributed)

In Robert Goldman and Stephen Papson, Nike Culture: The Sign of the Swoosh (1998).

I can remember a game, we were down with about 5 to 10 points, I go off about 25 points, we come back and win the game, we’re walking off the floor. Tex [Winter] looks at me and says “There’s no ‘I’ in team!” I looked at Tex and say, “There’s not, but there’s an ‘I’ in win!”
