Part 2/9:
In a candid conversation with Mike Tarico, Jordan made it clear he holds zero respect for load management. He emphasized that in his era, players simply showed up and played, regardless of the circumstances. For Jordan, a truly competitive athlete had the duty to perform whenever called upon, especially for the fans who pay good money to watch them perform. His words underline a core belief: great competitors push through adversity instead of sitting out at the first sign of fatigue or minor discomfort.
