For 10 years while I was at ESPN, I lived at the Residence Inn in Southington, Connecticut, near Bristol. I did that because my wife had a great job in New York City, and we had a place in New York City, at 54th and 8th. On Friday, I would come back, and then on Sunday evening I would go back to the Residence Inn.

I didn't have a curfew and always slept at friends' houses, but on Sundays, Mom dragged me to church. It was the best thing she did for me. I was moved just to be there and to feel God had a plan for me.

I have too many psycho superstitions.

I do an hour of cardio every day without fail, and I lift on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

I knew nothing about nutrition until 1982. I had a big turnaround that year and never looked back.

Image and privacy are still everything to Jordan, who has rarely if ever let the outside world see or hear the real Michael.
