“You ask all my teammates, and they’ll say one thing about Michael Jordan was, he never asked me to do something that he didn’t (bleeping) do,” Jordan said, by way of explanation, and that is the curse (pun unintended) of the elite: they can do things that other people can’t. Ask baseball players who played for Frank Robinson, or Ted Williams, when they were managers. They’d say something when the player struck out on something filthy and came back to the dugout like, ‘why didn’t you just hit that to the opposite field?,’ or something like that. Which would leave the player to say something like, ‘Skip, I couldn’t see it, much less hit it.’”
