On the latest episode of MJ: Insights to Excellence, Michael Jordan was asked about playing in Madison Square Garden. He was asked about how he approached it and if the fans ever got into his head.
“Be you. You are you 365 days of the year. What they are trying to do is get you to not be you. And to me, that is a challenge for a young kid. But it’s a privilege, it’s an honor,” Jordan explained.

“If they’re coming and yelling at you, you’re an impactful player. That means if they feel like they can take you out of your game, then they have a better chance of winning.
“So if I’m talking to the young kids of today, if you’re an impactful player on your team, shut ’em up. Go out there and be you. If you be you, then they can’t say anything. But if you’re not you, they win.”
