James Worthy on All-Star Memories, Michael Jordan's Competitiveness

Posted Jan 15, 2018
James Worthy: "Michael Jordan doesn't take anything lightly. It could be a game of backgammon or it could be the NBA Finals, they're treated the same. This All-Star Game, that was his platform. He wanted to be the best, he wanted to play against the best, and for him, the game was on. I first met him on a recruiting trip. That was the beginning of a great friendship." (The Post Game)
