Michael Jordan scared all his teammates into being better basketball players Steve Kerr explains

Michael Jordan scared all his teammates into being better basketball players Steve Kerr explains Michael Jordan's intensity and competitiveness were so high that it made players "scared to death" of him, according to Steve Kerr. Kerr was on Bill Simmons' "Book of Basketball" podcast and discussed the various leadership styles he encountered during his time in the NBA. Kerr said he found it "fascinating" to play with Jordan because of his unique leadership style and compared him with Tim Duncan, a much more low-key, genial teammate. "It was a lot easier to play with Tim Duncan," Kerr said on the podcast. He recalled telling the San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich after winning the championship in 2003 that "the difference between Michael and Tim is you always felt like you were playing with Tim, and there were times where you felt like you were playing for Michael." However, Kerr said there were methods to Jordan's madness. "You were scared to death of him," Kerr said. "He was the most dominant force on the floor in every regard. It wasn't just the talent — it was the force of will. People, opponents were defeated by Michael before they even walked on the floor. https://www.businessinsider.com/micha...
