Micheal Jordan
"I've failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed."
Michael Jordan, perhaps the extraordinary player in basketball history. He led the Chicago Bulls to six National Basketball Association championships, twice doing it in three consecutive years. He won five most valuable player awards, as well as making the all-league defensive team in nine of his 15 seasons. 30.1 points average scoring per game is the highest in the league's history.
Not only a basketball player but he reached much far than just player. Today, he is a sport icon, one of the renowned athletes in the world. His fame has transcended his sport and transformed him into a advertising face. Breaking business record with his Nike brand Jordan is still a shoe of craze.
"I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can't accept not trying."
Jordan has decided to speak out, not just about basketball, but his business goals, his personal pleasures and, most of all, his private life.
Jordan is one of the most marketed sports figures in history. He has been a major spokesman for such brands as Nike, Coca-Cola, Chevrolet, Gatorade, McDonald's, Ball Park Franks, Rayovac, Wheaties, Hanes, and MCI.[205] Jordan has had a long relationship with Gatorade, appearing in over 20 commercials for the company since 1991, including the "Be Like Mike" commercials in which a song was sung by children wishing to be like Jordan.
"Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen."
"I've failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed."
Said basketball star Michael Jordan on why he is lowering the price on his popular Air Jordan brand sneakers.
MJ is sick and tired of blacks killing blacks over his high priced shoes. He wants to set a precedent by showing people that spending more money on something exclusive doesn’t make you special it just makes you a fool with money.
Michael Jordan feels bad for all these young black males with these large Jordan shoe collections but they don’t have one red cent invested in Jordan or Nike Stock and he would like to save them from themselves. He will make the transition in lowering the prices nationwide slowly over the course of the next couple years to deter any backlash in the black community.
