“I came to Chicago with no expectations. None. The only pressure I felt when I went to the NBA was to prove I deserved to play on that level. And that was easy because it was a step-by-step process: playing hard every day in practice, playing against veteran teammates, making the starting five, then playing against NBA players in games. No one knew what I was capable of scoring, and no one tried to define me by putting a number on those expectations. No one had in mind what would be acceptable for me. After the first year, the expectations came, but by then I had positive habits. I had built a foundation for my game, so it wasn’t a surprise to me. I understood that the reason I was getting attention was because of the work I had put in up to that point, not because of what I had done to meet other people expectations of me.”---Michael Jordan<<DRIVEN FROM WITHIN>>
