"After
every game, I used to ask Michael (Jordan) one question: Five, six, or seven? As in what
time are we hitting the gym tomorrow morning. And he’d snap back a time and
that was it. Especially after a loss, when there wasn’t a whole lot to say. No
discussion, no debate, no lame attempt to convince me he needed the morning
off. You good? I’m good. See you in the morning. And the next morning at
whatever time he’d decided, he’d awaken to find me standing outside his door.
No matter what happened the night before-good game, bad game, soreness,
fatigue- he was up working out every morning while most of the other guys
slept."
