A team will always appreciate a great individual if he's willing to sacrifice for the group.

Great players are willing to give up their own personal achievement for the achievement of the group. It enhances everybody.

I can do something else besides stuff a ball through a hoop. My biggest resource is my mind.

I didn't really seek attention. I just wanted to play the game well and go home.

I tell kids to pursue their basketball dreams, but I tell them to not let that be their only dream.

I think someone should explain to the child that it's OK to make mistakes. That's how we learn. When we compete, we make mistakes.

I think that the good and the great are only separated by the willingness to sacrifice.

I'm not comfortable being preachy, but more people need to start spending as much time in the library as they do on the basketball court.

Michael Jordan and Magic and myself all learned how to play the game in college programs that emphasized the team.

My most memorable moment came in 1985 as we beat the Boston Celtics.

The extra pass and the extra effort on defense always get the job done.

One man can be a crucial ingredient on a team, but one man cannot make a team.

As brilliant an individual that Michael Jordan was, he was not successful until he got with a good team unit

Fundamental preparation is always effective. Work on those parts of your game that are fundamentally weak
