Michael's HS coach told him his sophomore year that he wasn't ready yet. That's when the fire and drive to be the very best started. Mike took that cut really personally. He worked his tail off that summer and made the Varsity his Junior year. His brother Larry was the star on the Varsity until Mike made the team.

Speeches like this really give you an insight into who the person is. Jordan was a unique cat. There have been others just as athletically talented. Maybe even more so. But there has never been an athlete more driven to win than Jordan. Put that together with his elite physical talent, and you have the greatest ever. Jordan was a one in a million physical talent, and a one in a million mentality. One in a trillion. I doubt we will ever see anything like him again in all of athletics.

I remember being disappointed when I first watched this speech because I thought MJ humiliated a lot of people instead of using that podium to be gracious and thankful to all the people that helped him get to the Hall of Fame like most other players would do. Having shed my childhood adulation of St. Michael since then, however, and knowing more about the man now like how competitive he is with all things, etc. I now find this speech heartwarming, sincere, funny and inspiring. MJ is just as competitive AF and he will eternally be trash talking every single one of those whom he thought have wronged him, all the way to the Hall of Fame and all the way until he leaves this mortal coil. Take no prisoners. Inspirational. What an athlete, what a competitor. Thank you for all the joys you've given us watching you play in real time. Happy 60th Birthday MJ ☺️

Just imagine to have borned such a LEGEND and pure BASKETBALL TALENT...❤️

He was only born athletic. His basketball talent was earned through sheer work and dedication.

What probably gave Jordan tears is the fact that he can no longer do what he loves to do most like back in the younger days. Knowing basketball, there is no greater blessing than every second he was on the court. 🐐

[@johnhernandez2169]

Excellent speech. He was so passionate and driven. He was certainly one of the biggest inspirations in my childhood growing up. It seems a lot of the people in these comments are young growing up in this culture we now live or older folks that maybe were weak in influenced to be so sensitive and negative. I don't know because I never forgot where I came from and while society is sensitive and always complaining about everything, I can see this man is one of the great men in history. Imagine you had his burning desire to be great, instead of trying to tear great people down, just because your life is meaningless.

[@imgorgeweregorgeanimatedgo2155]

See how Michael praised his mom? That’s why he’s blessed with everything he’s has.

It's fair to say that only MJ23 can pull off such a cocky speech. It is because he can back every single word of it back. Absolute GOAT, no questions.
