:09:02
And he didn't by shooting
and shooting and shooting...

:09:05
and shooting consistently.
:09:07
The other thing
that people told him...

:09:08
that he wasn't a really good
defensive player.

:09:11
And he found a way...
:09:12
not only to become
a great defensive player...

:09:15
but the best defensive player
in the NBA

:09:18
This guy said,
"Those are my weaknesses.

:09:21
I'm going to figure out how to
make those my strengths." And he didn't.

:09:26
I got a glimpse,
really, of Michael Jordan...

:09:28
and what he was all about the
first time lever coached him.

:09:31
About two minutes to go in
the game, I called a time-out.

:09:34
And we were down two... it was
right there in the balance.

:09:38
And I had some
little powder on my mouth...

:09:41
from where I chewed some gum
and chewed it so hard...

:09:43
that it really had become powder.
:09:44
And Michael grabbed a cup of
water and he handed it to me,

:09:47
and he said,
"Take a drink of this water.

:09:49
"Clear that stuff off your mouth.
:09:50
I'm not going to let you
lose your first game."

:09:53
The level of faith that
I have in anything in life...

:09:56
is taught to you from your parents.
:09:58
It is a trait that I would never
trade anything for.

:10:01
And if I can ever pass anything
on to my kids...

:10:05
it would be to be optimistic
about everything in life.

:10:09
He was only a freshman at the
University of North Carolina,

:10:13
but with the 1982 NCAA
Championship at stake,

:10:16
his team's fate was in his
hands, And he never hesitated.

:10:21
Goes back to Michael Jordan,
jumper from out on the left!

:10:25
The Tar Heels are going to win
the national championship!

:10:30
After I hit the shot,
my father came to me and said...

:10:33
this was the start
of something big.

:10:35
He didn't know what it was.
I didn't know what it was.

:10:38
But I did believe him.
:10:44
Good morning,
ladies and gentlemen.

:10:47
Welcome to flight 23.
:10:48
Please make sure your seat belts
are securely fastened...

:10:51
and extinguish
all smoking materials.
