Michael Jordan Averaged 32 Points Per Game Over ...
Contributed by Rick Pendleton on Sep 9, 2008 (message contributor)
Michael Jordan averaged 32 points per game over his 15 years in the NBA. A reporter asked him how he was able to maintain such a high average and he replied, "I simplify the matter. It takes only takes eight points per quarter to score 32. I find a way every quarter to simply get those eight points."
HE HAD A GOAL. Thank goodness he had education too. 32 divided by four equals eight. At UNC that is known as long division.
Successful people, teams, businesses, churches all have one thing in common. THEY START WITH A GOAL!!!
