Michael Jordan Explains Why Winning A Championship As An Owner Would Be More Gratifying Than Any He Won As A Player
One of the more telling moments came when Jordan was asked whether he ever allowed himself to dream of winning a seventh championship to go along with the six he won as a player.
Not only does Jordan acknowledge he dreams about winning another title, but he goes as far as to say winning a championship as an owner would be "much more gratifying" than the six he won as a player.
His explanation:
I'm always dreaming about that seventh ring, always. And to get to that would be much more gratifying than the other six I have actually won, because the six I actually won I impacted from a whole different angle. Now, I am impacting from a totally different perspective. And it is not as much fun but it's a lot harder.
Early in Jordan's post-playing career as an owner he was often criticized for not being involved enough with the then-Bobcats franchise. But now Jordan has helped build an exciting and up-and-coming Hornets team that should be a playoff team in the Eastern Conference.
This answer also shows that Jordan, at times at least, thought winning championships as a player was easy.
It's no secret that Jordan is insanely competitive. That same fire is now making sure that he is not content with just six rings.
