I challenged people when they didn't want to be challenged.

Once you join the team, you lived at a certain standard that I played the game and I wasn't going to take anything less.
Now, if that meant I had to go in there and get on you a bit, then I did that.
You ask all my teammates.
The one thing about Michael Jordan was he never asked me to do something that he didn't do.
When people see this, they're going to say, well, he wasn't really a nice guy.
He may have been a tyrant.
Well, that's you because you never won anything.
I wanted to win, but I wanted them to win and be a part of that as well.
Look, I don't have to do this.
I'm only doing it because it's who I am.
That's how I played the game.
That was my mentality.
