Okay, so I have two interpretations of this. The first one is that a fear of loosing is, in a sort of way, a good thing to motivate people to win or do better. But then my second interpretation of this is that losing is something to be okay with because we can always learn from it and there can be a hidden blessing to it. But I'm sort of confused as the whole poem also seems sarcastic at the same time with mocking to winning because in the end, it didn't matter - if that makes any sense. But that's all I can say and overall, I like how I have many interpretations to debate over on this one poem.

I'm confused at what the message is trying to say. Is it marking Jordan as a legend for his desire to win, or is it mocking him for focusing only on basketball in his life? I'm not sure how you want the reader to take this poem.

I'm from Chicago, so the Bulls have always been one of my favorite teams. Yet, I see this poem mocking him, but not necessarily in a derogatory fashion. More like pitying him for devoting all of his time into basketball and now he has nothing to show for it except the memorabilia. His wife is gone, his kids are grown. And now there is nothing left but the glory days whispering in his ear. I love it.

The relatively bitter end is a fact of those kinds of choices.... it's not a mockery, it's a description.... I guess you understood it not so well. I'm from Illinois as well.

It's good, and the bitter parts of it make me question if it was truly all worth it for him. And I guess the answer is left to the reader to decide.
