i watch this every morning, starts me off on a good foot

[beatbeatBOOMbeat]

@after0—don't worry about it. Most everyone that worries about overtraining is small and weak. Overtraining is real, but it's rare and hard to do. Undertraining is much, much, much more common, and should be your bigger concern.

[atter0]

@beatbeatBOOMbeat thanks

[stefanreid15]

This is so inspirational

[atter0]

how do know when im over training my muscles?

[MrJj604]

@atter0 when you can't sleep properly and still very sore 3 days after gym, take vitamins/eat right/ supplements will do wonders :) good luck

Mike, I fraking LOVE YOU. I don't care if that was scripted, or if he himself came up with those words. The message has reached me regardless. I feel like such a lazy s.o.b. I need 4000000 more doses of this.

[Kingportable]

A god given commitment and enthusiasm befalls a god given talent.

[MrToontownaddict]

aww man 3 people accidentlly click dislike button for some reason :P

[TheDucciano]

I hate these videos: because MJ was 1 in a billion. Well, I'm not 1 in a billion. So if I don't become legendary, I failed? Fuck that.  How about I just be a good dude who provided for his family, loved his kids and lived and died honestly. I may not be "legendary" but at least I lived authentically.

Be authentic, not legendary. Legends are never true. Authenticity - now that is impressive.

[mosnaidei]

@TheDucciano MJ was one in a billion because he worked every day to get to where he was. If you work hard everyday for your family then it has the same principles of working hard to achieve greatness.

Well i think this should be Lebron's next commercial.

[DailyMotivation]

@ryan803 "I saw LeBron before the game and asked for a dollar and he only gave me 75 cents. I go "Hey! Where's the rest of it?" and he goes "I don't have a fourth quarter" :)

[ryan803]

@DailyMotivation you act like i havent heard that joke about 100 times before? sure it was funny the first week after the finals, maybe even after the second week...considering its been over for awhile now, that joke is becoming a little dumb

[justinjacobe]

@DailyMotivation XD

[itsmychannel]

@ryan803 lebron doesn't have the talent to look at michael jordans shoe laces with binoculars... once he has won as much as mj you can start talking, but until then shut your mouth about lebron

[Ferreal92]

Dammit. I was planning on skipping the gym today, too. Thanks Mike (-_-)

*SMACKED* wow I'm seeing tweety birds. That was a hard hit mike. Today's lesson is don't make excuses. Brought to you by the best Basketball player in the world. M. Jordan

[mario68079]

going to put this on mp3 player and listen to it everyday

[FlozelltheHotell]

in fact all pro sportsmen are just big kids in a way.

Most if not all of us grew up playing sports - but than we grew out of it , or decided to get real jobs.

Its why I went to Uni and stuff yknow - because at a certain age you realize that playing ball is not what a grown man should do for a living ...

Anyway I just hope this gets discussed. Sports people are just babies. overgrown kids with fat wallets and limited brains.

anyway I just hope you guys get it

[IVlrClutch]

The dislike bar is like Justin Bieber's penis, its small and only grows when fags touch it.

[FlozelltheHotell]

I don't get it - why do people idolise this guy??

All the dude did was bounce a ball around for a living ...

I like to think Brain Surgeons and Military personnel are heroes,

not prima donnas who play with a ball lol

Something very wrong with society

[DNIPZ0x3]

@FlozelltheHotell Thats a stupid question. Why would anyone idolize anyone? I can understand if Michael Jordan wasn't the best basketball player to ever step on a court (arguably) and was just some scrub who got lucky and never practiced. But what he's talking about is hard work and dedication to whatever you do. Whether your a basketball player a brain surgeon or even a fry cook. And I guess thats why people "idolise" him.

[MrBryancslim]

@DNIPZ0x3 ; I get what you mean, and for that I like how you sees it that way...

[sodapopcurtisjr]

@FlozelltheHotell bounce a ball lol. look at some of the tricks he does and try to copy them. Very few people can. its a rare talent and people love to watch it.

[FlozelltheHotell]

@sodapopcurtisjr

rare talent ? cmon man.. you give a basketball to any kid on the street - let him paly around enough - I bet my house he'll get at least nearly as good as Jordan..

Similarly I take a kid off the street - give him a sniper gun or some medical textbooks - and there would be little to no chance I get a surgeon or Navy Seal..

smh - something very wrong with society lol

[sodapopcurtisjr]

@FlozelltheHotell noone can do what michael jordan did except with a ton of playtime and amazing talent. take a kid off the street who played for years against a kid with talent who plays for years and ull see the difference. Not to mention that to get into the nba, you have to lead a team into a championship to even be seen by the scouts. Give a kid a textbook, if he wants to he can read it and do something medical. give him training and he can use that gun.

[FlozelltheHotell]

@sodapopcurtisjr

sure the kid could read it - but he couldnt apply it anywhere near enough. Similarly I give him a sniper rifle or something - he is more likely to shoot himself than the target.

Im just saying Basketball - at the heart of it, is not a very High Skill pursuit.

I could find thousands of similar athletes all across America - not exact same, but close enough.

I just think we all need to put things in perspective - and realise what these guys do isnt amazing..

[sodapopcurtisjr]

@FlozelltheHotell its clear that you never played basketball. pick one up and try to do what he did. its impossible. thats why hes amazing and idolized. because he can do what no other man can

[FlozelltheHotell]

@sodapopcurtisjr

I played basketball - although its not the biggest sport in my country. Played cricket, soccer, rugby..

But you know - you reach an age - around 18...

and you realise that a grown adult should NOT be bouncing or kicking a ball around for a living

Sure - if you're a kid, have fun.. but yknow - if you're grown - go get a REAL job..

Why do so many sportstars get in trouble with the law - because most never realised this and never really grew up...

Its true.

[sodapopcurtisjr]

@FlozelltheHotell a real job? what is your definition of a real job? sitting around at a desk pushing pencils all day.. well most nba stars wanted to be famous, to be rich, to be the best at what they do. their happy doing what they do and they make millions doing what they love to do. fame goes to everyones head and every famous person gets in trouble with the law. if you were serious about a sport you would do everything to get good. if ur not then you give up and work at a desk.

[FlozelltheHotell]

@sodapopcurtisjr

yea I guess.

But na man they arent happy bro - the stats say Pro Athletes suffer from depression and stuff more than say people in other professions..

Why do you think most of them have drinking problems or some other problem at some point?

Jordan was the fukin biggest star in the world - dude almost ruined himself to gambling.

Darryl Strawbry with alcohol - I could list many more

Athletes aren't that happy man - they're more insecure than us normal Joes.

[sodapopcurtisjr]

@FlozelltheHotell every person has his vice. you only see stars with problems becuase every1 cares about them. go look at the homeless, the drug addicts, the gangs, they all have the same problems, u didnt point it out because the media isnt swarming all around them. gang got drunk and killed a girl, snore. michael jordan rolled some dice! call in everybody!!!! their professional and private lives are seperated. and for the money their making they have no reason to be sad.

[DaBusDriva92]

The 2 dislikes are from Lebron James and his mom...

[ty1291]

@ERIKTHEBEST You have read about MJ, but you have never known MJ. That's the difference and that's why you should making excuses for yourself about him being what you believe he is.

[mommypackmylunch125]

@ERIKTHEBEST calm down it is just something to make people feel better

[101feven101]

I just love Michael Jordan's voice. I don't know why, maybe because I grew up with Space Jam, I loved it since 1st grade when it came out

@MrRaffyGG lol its probably lebron:P

[Raddyboy22]

@MrRaffyGG nope it was just Lebron wishing he had worked just as hard as jordan and maybe one day he would amount to a small amount of who jordan is

[wattsr81]

AMEN MIKE....Preach on.....

[cozella]

I am a Michael Jordan fan, when he was on the court he was about the business. No one tried harder or enjoyed it more.

Love you Michael.

[Drivenforlifeinc]

That was fantastic! thanks for sharing.

[DNIPZ0x3]

Omg. I love this.

[dracionx]

One person was someone who thought it was easy and makes excuses.

[skins244]

That one person who hit the dislike button is either craig ehlo or bryon russel haha

[LoboExcelsior]

One person meant to hit the "like" button.

[barmarrs]

Exactly why he was and still is the best player to ever put on a NBA jersey. Picture anybody else making a commercial like this. It just doesn't fit. Kobe and James are good players, sure, but NO ONE is on MJ's level.

[DirtyDetroit24]

amazing...

[Arxidomorfos]

Why is he saying "Maybe i destroyed the game"?

[OARfanatic]

@Arxidomorfos cuz he thinks that because he was so good he would make everyone say "well i know ill never be as good as jordan so why work hard?"

[Arxidomorfos]

@OARfanatic Yes, it makes some sence. Thank you!

@ILeapZHD im mexican dawg n yea if these lazy bastered actually try then mby they would achieve something

[hangtime23ful]

Maybe Michael Jordan really isn't the greatest basketball player of all time, maybe its Kobe Bryant. Or maybe the kobetards r just making excuses.

[MrKobeClutchBryant]

@hangtime23ful Keep blaming the defense and bs like that you dick rider, while Kobe breaking the fuck out Jordans records while shipping in more rings. Or are you some beer belly kid who just sits there jacking off to nba tv classic games. Get with the time and get your head out of jordans ass be4 theres rectal bleeding.

[TH3RMALW0LF]

I don't even like basketball, and this is motivating. 

[janssonsinclair]

@chips93 well you can always work on your quickness and hops..height is excluded..if you're short you;re SHORT, but if you're tall ur TALL....

[USAhockeyandLAX03]

@chips93 Catchy marketing? Are studies proving you wrong catchy marketing? I've looked into it a lot more than you've even thought about it in your little pea-sized brain. I put that last line in about excuses only cause of the video. Your putting up a wall cause your scared. Scared to look how you could have been, how you could be. Stop bitching and do something. There's always someone working harder than you. Always.

[USAhockeyandLAX03]

@chips93 There are many studies showing evidence human skeletal muscles can change fiber types from fast twitch to slow and vice versa due to training. Maybe your making excuses?

[USAhockeyandLAX03]

@chips93 hops? god given talent are you stupid.. hops are mainly dependant on your fast twitch muscles in your leg. God doesnt give you more muscles than someone else does he? Height is the only thing that is given per say, and too bad height is one of the main aspects in basketball..

[janssonsinclair]

@USAhockeyandLAX03 i totally agree with you! If you're short (like me) u just gotta compensate wiht other things such as quickness

[danny470]
