I believe Jordon played for the love of the sport, that comes with passion, dedication, determination which is embedded within him. Winning or Loosing was not his style of playing, he played for the team but end of day for him self. Success grey from his performance the dedication he had day in day out during his practice and transforming his practice into games. It was a combination of many aspects, Determination, dedication, persistence, discipline, motivation to strive to be the best.
