On the TV show "Open Court" on NBA Network, Steve Kerr, a former Chicago Bulls player and teammate of Michael Jordan, was asked what made Jordan so great when he was a player.  Here is what Kerr responded with:

"I think just the will to win and the way that manifested itself in practice.  Everyday was a battle, whether it was a scrimmage or a shooting drill, it didn't matter.  He wanted to win so badly, and that established the entire culture.  Here's the greatest, most talented player on Earth, who's working harder than anybody, so if that doesn't establish who you are as an identity as a team, then I don't know what does."

Some great words to describe the work ethic that made MJ so elite.  And the best part of Kerr's words is that anybody can bring that mentality and attitude to whatever they do!
