I’m not a fan of analytics. When I was a kid, I couldn’t tell you what percentage Allen Iverson shot, or Michael Jordan.
You look back at the ’95 season, and a lot of those guys were getting mega minutes. Michael Jordan was out playing baseball. We were still winning, won 55 games I think, so those guys were all very content and happy with the way that things were going that year.
One wonders what exactly Israel did to earn Arab enmity between 1948 and 1967, when Egypt controlled the Gaza Strip and Jordan controlled Judea and Samaria.
I know everything about Michael Jordan.
When we first came out it was this happy accident, and I was sort of into hardcore at the time. Jordan our singer was really into Jawbreaker and a lot of indie rock bands and old Dischord bands, and sort of like more of the indie side of music. Our bass player was really into West Coast punk.
Jazz is all about improvisation and it’s about the moment in time, doing it this way now, and you’ll never do it this way twice. I’ve studied the masters. Why would I want to play ball after the guys who sit on a bench? I want to play like Michael Jordan.
I’m a big Bulls fan, Michael Jordan fan, LeBron fan.
As a young Scottish footballer growing up – I always used to follow Scotland and watch the games – Kenny Dalglish, Graeme Souness, and Joe Jordan were players I looked up to.

Nothing can bring my Jordan back but I have learned to channel my grief into action to honor my son.
I remember being a teenager and watching 40-year-old Michael Jordan compete in his final All-Star game.
Interviewing Michael Jordan is like playing him one on one. If he respects you and especially your media platform and he’s amused by your college try, he’ll let you get off a shot or two. Then he’ll go behind his back, give you a head fake and leave you wondering exactly what he meant by this and that.
The ability to manage large assets well – it’s like being Michael Jordan or winning the gold in the Olympics; it’s what you aspire to.
Michael Jordan taught me after our game of one-on-one: A loss is not a failure until you make an excuse. When excuses are no longer an option, you can focus your attention on the job you have to do, and not why it didn’t get done.
I was probably 7 or 8 when I went to see the Bulls play and was able to see Michael Jordan.
I was a Chicago Bulls, Michael Jordan fan growing up.

Michael Jordan and Magic and myself all learned how to play the game in college programs that emphasized the team.
You can set up whatever negotiations or structure you want, but until the Palestinians are willing to accept the fact, as the majority of Israelis do, that there should be two states between the Jordan and the Mediterranean, we won’t have peace.
I’m looking forward to the ‘Twilight Zone’ from Jordan Peele… if anyone’s gonna reboot the ‘Twilight Zone,’ then there’s the man to do it.
Jordan is the only Arab state that has provided citizenship to Palestinian refugees and integrated them. But something has to be done about the Palestinians living in refugee camps in Syria and Lebanon.
I was a big Michael Jordan fan growing up. I don’t feel my game resembles his though.
My mother told me when I was a toddler and in the crib that they would have music playing, and the thing when I lit up was boogie-woogie or something out of the Louie Jordan period of sometimes big bands, and then all kinds of things.
In ‘Hope Never Dies’, the fictional Obama and Biden go up against drug traffickers, outlaw bikers, and other seedy opponents. They’re forced to use skills they didn’t know they had. Or, to put it another way, unlike Jordan Peele’s Obama, this Obama doesn’t need an anger translator.
When I grew up it was Michael Jordan and Chicago Bulls, the Lakers, the Boston Celtics, those were the teams you loved or hated and me being from San Diego, you loved the Lakers.
To put it another way, Michael Jordan was a gym rat.
Jordan is Palestine. The capital of Palestine is Amman. If Palestinian Arabs want to find their political expression, they will have to do it in Amman.
Michael Jordan was going to do whatever was ever necessary, and certainly I can say without question, he was going to achieve and stop playing whenever he wanted to stop playing.
While I dealt with my share of injuries throughout my career, I was fortunate to have been healthy for the majority of our run in the 1990s. The same can be said about Michael Jordan.

Look, I’m going to turn on the TV to watch LeBron. I don’t care if he’s better than Jordan. He’s amazing at what he does. Why does it matter if he’s better than MJ or not?
I don’t want to be the next Michael Jordan, I only want to be Kobe Bryant.
A lot of people celebrate the ’80s. I was a ’90s guy. The best music, and basketball, was at its high in the ’90s, with all of the best players, playing the best style of basketball in that era, and Michael Jordan winning six rings in the city I grew up in.
The greatest players use anger as fuel. Michael Jordan played every night with something like road rage.

If somebody says no to you, or if you get cut, Michael Jordan was cut his first year, but he came back and he was the best ever. That is what you have to have. The attitude that I’m going to show everybody, I’m going to work hard to get better and better.
I believe that Palestine is an occupied land from the Mediterranean Sea to the Jordan River, and this is the right of the entire Palestinian people, this land.
‘E.T.’ and ‘Star Wars’ were cult movies then and opened up a brand new world of adventure and mystery. But as much as I would have loved to be friends with E.T., I realized that following in the footsteps of Magic Johnson and Michael Jordan was more realistic.
As a player, you model yourself after other players. Kobe takes the same approach as Michael Jordan. But I follow someone like Magic Johnson; he showed emotion, he smiled and jumped around, he was happy for his teammates. There needs to be more players like that.
Perhaps the most satisfying thing occurred when Michael Jordan became a team owner and said to me, ‘I owe you a lot of apologies. It’s a lot harder to run a team than I thought.’
I thought the lanes opened up when Michael Jordan used to drive. I used to be like, ‘Wow.’
I wanna be myself and be the first Jason Jordan. I don’t wanna be the second Kurt Angle.
Magic Johnson didn’t play the style that Larry Bird did, and Michael Jordan sure didn’t play the style that Magic or Bird played.
Jordan is a very secular, Westernized country in some respects.
My friends, they all say that I’m turning Hollywood. Big-time. And I want to be that. I want to be a guy who’s bigger than what they say. You look at Kobe. Michael Jordan. Somebody like Michael Jackson. Those guys are bigger than life. I strive to be that.
I don’t see a big difference in Jordan Pickford from the first day I started working with him. I see the same humble guy every day, open to listening and to learning.
I’m a Michael Jordan fan just like everyone else. I just don’t think he’s the greatest player ever.
Coming onto the Jordan Brand absolutely gives more attention to women’s basketball and basketball in general.
I think we always look up to legends and people who not only win but give us a larger than life role model… I think Michael Jordan is this, someone who became bigger than his sport.
Unlike Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods, Jackie Robinson never tried to convert himself into an acceptable black man.
I’d say Jordan Henderson’s got some good clothes. I call Stevie G ‘James Bond’ because he looks good in everything, and he’s got the lot. I called him James Bond at the weekend, and I don’t think he liked it, but that’s what I’m calling him! Martin Skrtel’s got some good clobber as well.
I want to do for rebounds what Michael Jordan did for dunks.
It’s always cool to make a comeback like 45 Michael Jordan did, or like Marshawn Lynch.
