Carolina Quotes
It’s what I saw that the other kids didn’t see. Years later a man named Michael Jordan saw the same thing on the other side of town [Wilmington, North Carolina]. He didn’t make the basketball team the first time and it started a fire within him. If someone said something against him, it added another log to the fire. Basically it’s the same as what happened to me. I saw something I needed and I wanted.
