The Last Dance documentary about Michael Jordan and the all-conquering Chicago Bulls team of the 1990s has inspired London Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham (age 22), per dailymail.co.uk:
“It’s incredible,” Abraham says. “Watching this motivates me and there’s one thing that caught my mind. Michael Jordan lost a game and he made up things in his head about what someone said to him.”
“That person didn’t actually say it but he used that to go into the next game and to drive him on to be the best.”
“The incident did happen against Liverpool where I missed a penalty and received a lot of abuse and for me it’s just like Michael Jordan, it’s about coming out and proving them wrong. It’s about being at this club, being the main man, being the striker.”
