Quote: “I’ve missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that’s why I’ve succeeded.”-Michael Jordan
When not on court, I like to: hang out with my friends and family, go to the Mets games, watch my close friends & my little brother play their/his sports, go to the beach and tan.
