He can't stop. He's addicted to winning. That's why his speech that night was the most honest thing he's ever done in public. He just got up said, "I will take all challengers and I will win." That's what he does at the golf course, and in card games, and as an executive (though apparently not as a GM since he sucks at that). But that’s the thing, this guy is compulsive competitor.

Yes. The worst acceptance speech I've seen in a while? Yes. His speech reiterated the obvious: Jordan is one of the biggest assholes to ever play a professional sport. He ripped Van Gundy and Byron Russell. He ripped his high school coach for not starting him. He didn't mention his trainer (huge inspiration to him) and he addressed his family by saying something along the lines of "not wanting to be them in his shadow". Jordan: you're the best player ever and you have nothing to prove. The only person who doesn't know that is you. Should have been an inspirational speech, but it was petty. The greatest player ever?
