On the evening of the 22nd, during the halftime of the second game between the Chicago Bulls and Detroit Pistons, David Stern presented the MVP trophy to Michael Jordan.
This time, Jordan modestly said: "This is not just my honor, but the entire Chicago Bulls'. Without the Bulls, without my teammates, I wouldn't have been able to receive this honor. I thank them, thank each and every one of them."
However, it's said that in a pre-game interview, Jordan wasn't so humble, he believed "I deserve this award every year."
When asked why he wasn't like Gan Guoyang, able to make his teammates better, Jordan got angry and said, "I'm not a babysitter, I'm also part of the team. If teammates want to improve, they should step up themselves, make the shot, earn respect, they need to play well themselves, rather than counting on others."
