Excerpt from Michael Jordan’s Book, I Can’t Accept Not Trying,
On Fears
I never looked at the consequences of missing a big shot. Why? Because when you think about the consequences you always think of a negative result.
Some people get frozen by that fear of failure. They get it from peers or from just thinking about the possibility of a negative result. They might be afraid of looking bad or being embarrassed. I realized that if I was going to achieve anything in life I had to be aggressive. I had to get out there and go for it. I don’t believe you can achieve anything by being passive.

That's when an image of the Bobcats owner flashed onto the massive HD screens over center court. Michael Jordan wasn't in his customary spot at the end of the Bobcats' bench. He was ensconced -- a cynic might say hiding -- in his private box high above the floor. But the scoreboard operator hadn't gotten the memo, and as Jordan's face appeared on the screen, what had once seemed all but inconceivable happened. From somewhere in the sparsely populated upper deck came a short but strong burst of ... boos.
This is the new reality for Michael Jordan -- in which a man who as a player is still regarded as the GOAT is forced to hear whispers that he's a goat as an NBA executive; in which the likes of the underachieving Kwame Browns and Adam Morrisons now threaten to obscure the images of the vanquished
