Part 2/9:
The dialogue begins with reflections on Michael Jordan's approach to the game. Unlike today, where load management is commonplace, Jordan was known for his relentless desire to compete every possession, every game, all season long. The speakers emphasize that MJ's mentality was one of a kind: the expectation was that if a player was healthy, they played, regardless of the long 82-game schedule. Sitting out, especially without a serious injury, was almost unthinkable during his era because the culture valued ironman durability and relentless competitiveness.
