The voiceover of the video goes like, “Maybe it’s my fault, maybe I led you to believe it was easy when it wasn’t. Maybe I made you think my highlights started at the free throw line and not in the gym.”
Jordan adds, “Maybe it’s my fault that you didn’t see that failure gave me strength, that my pain was my motivation. Maybe I led you to believe that basketball was a god given gift and not something I work for every single day of my life. Maybe I destroyed the game or maybe you are just making excuses.”
