“It shouldn’t be needed,” Jordan said. “I never wanted to miss a game because it was an opportunity to prove. The fans are there to watch me play. I want to impress that guy, way up on top, who probably worked his ass off to get a ticket.

“You play basketball for two and a half to three hours a day. That’s your job. That’s what you get paid to do. What are you doing the other 21 hours?”
