He would go to JV practice and practice, and then he'd go to varsity practice. We'd play ball games, and after the games were over, he'd run what we called "suicides" or line drills, he'd run those by himself.

The weakest part of Michael's game on the offensive end was his shooting. So he obviously mastered something that everybody said he couldn't do when he came out of college. And he did it by shooting and shooting and shooting and shooting consistently.
The other thing that people told him that he wasn't a really good defensive player. And he found a way, not only to become a great defensive player, but the best defensive player in the NBA. This guy said, "Those are my weaknesses, I'm going to figure out how to make those my strengths." And he did it!

人们告诉他另一件事是他不是一个很好的防守球员。他发现了一种方法,那就是在NBA不是要成为伟大的防守球员,而是成为最好的防守球员。这个人说道:那些的而且确是我的弱点,因此我就会知道应该怎样发挥我的强项。而他做到了!
