Pep Guardiola on Michael Jordan: “I would wake up at 3 or 4am at Barcelona while my wife was sleeping and I was watching the TV, because I had the feeling that I would never see again this kind of charisma, this competitor, this level of skill all in one person to win many Championships.”



From Pep’s interview with TNT Sports

>The 1990s theme continued with Guardiola recounting the exploits of legendary basketball superstar Michael Jordan, and the inspiration he took from the six-time NBA champion.

>“When he was playing in the 90s, I would wake up at 3 or 4am at Barcelona while my wife was sleeping and I was watching the TV, because I had the feeling that I would never see again this kind of charisma, this competitor, this level of skill all in one person to win many championships,” he explained.

>“Like Tiger Woods for example, or [Rafael] Nadal, [Roger] Federer, or [Novak] Djokovic, these kinds of athletes all have this one package.

>“You don’t know if you’ll see it again so I don’t want to miss it. Like when Tiger plays, I’m there; 18 holes or four days, I don’t miss one shot because I don’t think I’ll see it again.”
