MOM I remember when the Bulls starting winning championships, and the press started saying that Michael wasn’t being paid enough money. I would tell him that his word was his bond. “You signed a contract, not knowing how your skills would develop, not knowing who was going to surround you. You agreed to that contract, and you have to honor that contract. If Mr. Reinsdorf decides the team had a wonderful year, and he wants to redo your contract, fine. But don’t make it an issue because then you are not living up to your responsibility.”

What is for you, nobody else can have. What is not meant for you, you cannot have. They will print whatever they will print, but a contract is an agreement. When you have a good heart, stay committed and focused on what is right and honest, everything will come to you. Michael earned every bit of it. I tell people, do you know about the ice packs on his knees, how he hobbled out of the Stadium some nights, barely able to make it home?

I remember that day in Utah. I’ll never forget that day. I told him, “Don’t play tonight. You are too sick.” And what did he do? The best came out because you find that little bit of strength when you keep going inside, looking for it. That’s determination and focus—the idea that he wasn’t going to give up until he had given his last. That’s life.

GIVE IT YOUR BEST, AND ALL THE OTHER THINGS WILL COME TO YOU.
