:22:01
You're going to get it, man.
:22:05
That's for bringing me
into this world.
:22:07
After the third championship,
:22:10
my father kept kind of hinting
towards me playing baseball
:22:13
"Stop playing basketball.
:22:16
Why don't you give
your baseball a shot?"
:22:19
Because that's what he actually
got mestared playing...
:22:22
when I was six years old...
I played baseball.
:22:24
And he felt that
I could play baseball...
:22:27
and do it with the same
conviction and attitude...
:22:30
that I played basketball.
:22:34
Everyday, the first person
there before the sun...
:22:37
would be Jordan.
:22:38
And he was there
because he wasn't good.
:22:40
He would work
with a batting instructor...
:22:43
and work all day long...
:22:45
and be the last person to leave
every night also.
:22:50
Strike three!
:22:51
Money's no Stan Musial.
:22:52
But he's tring.
:22:55
Say, hey,
he's no Willie Mays.
:22:56
But he's tring, man.
:22:58
What it did teach me was,
don't be afraid to try.
:23:03
The worst thing that can happen...
:23:05
... is it doesn't...it doesn't pan out
the way that you envision it.
:23:09
But at least you know
that by giving it a shot.
:23:13
People were basically saying...
:23:15
that I didn't have no reason
being in the sport,
:23:18
and I was degrading the sport.
:23:21
When those negative things
started to happen,
:23:23
the only thing,
I wish my father was there...
:23:25
to give me the positive
reinforcements that I needed.
:23:28
I asked him what it was like
for him in the morning.
:23:31
And Jordan said,"I get up
before the sun comes up,
:23:34
and I make myself
some breakfast by myself"...
:23:36
he was down there alone...
:23:38
"and I get in the car.
:23:40
"And I'm driving
to spring training,
:23:42
"and there's no one, really,
out on the roads yet.
:23:45
"And I look at the seat
next to me and I see my Dad,
:23:51
"and I talk to him.
:23:52
"I think to myself,
Pops, we're doing this.
:23:56
We're doing this together."
:23:59
And the day would end,
