A Quote by Michael Jordan
It's a heavy duty to try to do everything and please everybody. My job was to go out there and play the game of basketball as best I can and provide entertainment for everyone who wanted to watch basketball. Obviously, people may not agree with that; again, I can't live with what everyone's impression of what I should or what I shouldn't do.

Now everyone wants to shoot the 3 and shoot it from deep.

You can't make everyone happy no matter what. All I can do is live my life and try to be successful and please myself. I have my own morals I live by.

I try to do the right thing, but I know there are going to be people who aren't happy with what I do or say no matter what, so I'm not going to worry about it.
