One of my favorite documentaries is The Last Dance, which eloquently documented the rise of hall of famer Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls in the 1990s.

The end of the series focused on the infamous NBA finals games between the Utah Jazz and the Chicago Bulls.

In Episode 9 of the documentary, John Stocken stated; “I never said, ‘Oh my goodness, this is the Bulls.’ Great team, and all the respect that they deserved, they’d get from me, but I sure didn’t feel an aura about Michael Jordan or the Bulls. I don’t know how you would play against somebody with that. We were there to win.”

Mind you, many top NBA players feared MJ, and rightfully so. He was a complete ANIMAL on the court who displayed ZERO fear.

His trash-talking skills and killer instinct intimated his teammates and opposing teams alike.

However, John and his team were not intimidated by Jordan’s skills and were more confident in their ability to dethrone the goat, though their valiant efforts were futile.

I started to think about the giants I’ve faced in life. We all have faced giants at one time or another.

When we step on the court of life, we should not quiver at the challenge ahead. We must be confident in our ability to defeat the giant, step over it, and keep moving forward. This is how winners think!

Be fearless! Be confident! Be a winner!
