You wonder if it's messed with his personal life? Of course it has lol
Yes and hanging with him is part of the reason Antoine Walker is broke now:
was Michael Jordan this obsessed?

Imagine the process of trying to absorb that kinda mentality........nothing but insanity. By the time you achieve it, you will definitely have some loose screws in your head.

Most likely. We all know folks who are overly competitive in all aspects of life and they suck to be around.
I remember reading somewhere that he once bet Pippin that his sons dikk was bigger than his sons
this thread is now about baby dikks.

I would argue that Jordan's natural ability not only in terms of athleticism (explosiveness, balance, height/physique, etc.), but how quickly he processed information, natural creativity and experiences has more to do with his success than being ultra competitive.
Just because you're highly competitive doesn't guarantee your success. I know people with that raw mentality and they're not beasting at life by any means, in fact they've just completely brushed people/assets away because they bring no "glitches" to the table like Jordan's natural ability to make it worth putting up with them. People will rather want to be around the average positive person than the average person who acts like an ass, which means more connections for the former and more opportunities.
If you have the raw talent you can act any old way because you are that much better than everybody else.
It's the truth, sorry.

But I thought hard work beats talent?

myths and funny beliefs people have.Hard work makes you look good and lets people feel comfortable around you because it kind of "humanizes" your natural gifts. It's a nice "story".
Fact is if two people put in the same amount of work, one person will get more out of it than the other. If you're a rarity, you get that much more out of it.
For example, during the same agility drills even somebody at Jordan's same height and weight, may not develop muscle like Jordan did simply just because. Same goes for coordination drills like shooting, dribbling, balance, etc.
Some people are truly special because of their natural gifts. Like I said, born with glitches and can act any old way they want because people are interested/invested in them. People would tolerate Jordan's competitiveness, but let that be any average person and they'd isolate themselves, something that could be truly crippling to their career.
That's just life, some thrive.
