Q:If you could live your life over again, would you change anything?

A:I think eveyone has things they’ve done in their lives that if given a chance, they might want to change or do over. However, I feel very fortunate that I’ve made the right decisions in my career, have good friends and a close family...I think I’m happy with how things have turned out.

Q:What do you think of Indiana's chances of getting to championship level now with Larry Bird on the bench?

A:Certainly I think Indiana is an improved team, and I am happy to see that Larry Bird has been a big contributor to their winning record. I still think it will take a bit for them to build a “championship level” team, but they are on the right track, and I’m sure Larry is a good person to take them to that next level.

David Will from New York, NY
Q:I have noticed that many times you gear up more to face a particular coach and his coaching style, than a particular player. I saw this most recently in your desire to show up Jeff Van Gundy, and Pat Riley.

A:I often find myself even more motivated to play against a particular player, team or coach, when I am challenged. If someone taunts me, or doubts me -- in the press or other -- I find this to be an extra incentive to go out and play at an even higher level.

John from Diamond Bar, CA
Q:What do you think about when your team is down by say..30 points? Do you give up on the hope of winning or do you stay in the game and try to win the game? When do you give up?

A:I never give up. I’m extremely competitive, and would rather die trying, than give up. Particularly in basketball, it’s important to never lose that desire to stage a come-back in a losing situation, or show your opponents that you’ve lost your fight. As soon as you give up, there is no hope.

Brian Izenburger from Lexington , OH
Q:Mr.Jordan I was wondering if you ever get nervous playing in front of millions of people?

A:When I first started playing professional basketball, it was sometimes overwhelming to be in large stadiums, in the Olympics, or play at a place like Madison Square Garden on national TV. However, through the years, I have learned to focus on the game, and not worry or be nervous about who is watching.
