Michael Jordan is the GOAT 🐐
What most impressed Geno Auriemma when he watched the Bulls practice?
The way MJ acted. He was first in line for every drill. He played hard, & if his teammates didn’t, he was all over them.
Great leaders set the tone for how the rest of the team acts. Lead with high standards.
