A Champions Heart
By Steve Stewart
In recreation centers all across America, young aspiring basketball players
are trying desperately to "be like Mike. ... Jordan comes, not from his
lean, muscular legs or his fantastic shooting skills, but from a passion buried
deep inside his heart. ...
Although the NBA is filled with players who can run faster, jump
higher, and shoot better than him, no player can equal his success on the
court, primarily, because according to Jordan, "heart is probably the biggest
key to success in basketball at the NBA level. There are a lot of players who
pass through the league with the ability, but they dont have the heart or the
intelligence to get the job done" (Im Back 39). ... But more importantly, he
had a big heart" (Jordan, Im Back 40). ... But that type of reaction is not a part of Michael Jeffrey
Jordan, because, after all, there is never any room for quitting inside a
Champions heart.
