Jay Z on Michael Jordan: “I absolutely love Michael Jordan. His career was a perfectly composed story about will. I went to his restaurant at his invitation to have dinner with him. It was an absolute dream conversation for me. The thing that distinguished Jordan wasn't just his talent, but his discipline, his laser-like commitment to excellence. That's something I always respect. The gift that Jordan had wasn't just that he was willing to do the work, but he loved doing it. He came into the game as Rookie of the Year and he finished off the last playoff game of his career with a shot that won the Bulls their sixth championship. That’s the kind of consistency that you can get only by adding dead serious discipline to whatever talent you have.”
