“I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can’t accept not trying.” Jordan suffered his first set-back in his sophomore year when he was left out of the varsity basketball team, because he was only 5’9” at that time and his taller classmate Leroy Smith had won the last spot on the team.
