CHICAGO _ "Most people struggle to be present. People go sit in ashrams for 20 years in India trying to be present. Do yoga. Meditate. Trying to get here. Now. Most people live in fear because we project the past into the future. Michael's a mystic. He was never anywhere else. ... His gift was not that he could jump high, run fast, shoot a basketball. His gift was that he was completely present. And that was the separator."
_ Mark Vancil, author of "Rare Air," discussing Michael Jordan's psyche during Episode 10 of the ESPN Films documentary series "The Last Dance"
