From being traded into the NBA to becoming one of the greatest players in the basketball world, Michael Jordan has traveled a long road. With hard work, sleepless nights, discipline, and practice, he has won six championships in the NBA.

However, there was one more element that helped Jordan to accomplish this goal, and that was selfishness. The competition he created in the NBA when he played for the Bulls is something we all remember from those days.

It is necessary to be selfish in order to succeed, as he has mentioned several times. An iconic 2004 interview revealed what Serena Williams, Derek Jeter, Roy Jones Jr, Warren Sapp, and the NBA ‘GOAT’ have in common.

Jordan discussed how selfishness can play a big role in success among players in the interview. According to Jordan, you must channel it in a way that is profitable for you and the team. It is not the first time Jordan has discussed the importance of being somewhat selfish to succeed in life.

There is a famous quote by Jordan that states: “To be successful you have to be selfish, or else you never achieve. And once you get to your highest level, then you have to be unselfish. Stay reachable. Stay in touch. Don’t isolate.”

Has Michael Jordan’s teammate called him selfish?

Observing the games and the instances from The Last Dance, you will see Jordan giving every game his best performance. His practice hours and dedication show how big the craze was to become one of the greatest.

Consequently, Jordan has made a name for himself in NBA history as one of the greatest athletes ever played. He has also made his mark in the business world through Nike Air. When Jordan’s documentary series came out, there was a time when he got called out because of this.
