Thanks for responding to my question. So how does this make him bitter? He is a driven person and was reflecting on the events that challenged him.

  Jordan mentioned every slight that was done to him, perceived or otherwise, and told the audience about how he found motivation from those slights Think about this for a second. Jordan has played almost two decades, won 6 (?) championships, and is heralded as the best player ever. At an event meant to celebrate his career, he instead talks for several minutes about being slighted in high school. Can you imagine being a grown, old man that's bitter enough about high school to mention it at an event celebrating his career? It doesn't sound fun.

    I guess we just see it differently. The event in high school was obviously an important motivator for Jordan, so much so that he thought it important to bring it up again. I have the same events in my life from high school and early college and if I was giving a retrospective on my life, they would certainly be included. Bitterness is usually accompanied by anger and cynicism and Jordan did not display either of those.
