Michael Jordan\u2019s\u00a0return to the Bulls in 1995, sparked the beginning of another three-peat for the Chicago-based franchise. But the second time around, Bulls head coach Phil Jackson wanted to do things differently, choosing to make the team into one cohesive unit. For that to happen, Jordan, as the leader of the team, had to step up and lead by example. While Jordan was a phenomenal player, he had a hard time connecting with his teammates, often getting into arguments.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"When<\/p>\n

\n

With the help of coach George Mumford, Jordan realized that he couldn\u2019t treat all his teammates the same, and to get through to them, he had to understand them on a deeper level.\u00a0<\/span>Jordan, while hesitant to incorporate his new learnings, had no option but to test it out. Recalling his strategy in handling his teammates, Jackson wrote the following in his 2013 book, \u2018Eleven Rings: The Soul of Success\u2019<\/em>,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWorking with Mumford, Michael adopted a new way of leading based on\u00a0<\/span><\/em>what worked best with each player. With some players, he decided, he would get physical, either by demonstrating what needed to be done with his body..\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Jackson further explained that Jordan had to take different approaches with his two-star teammates, Scottie Pippen and Dennis Rodman. Recalling his approach with Pippen, Coach Jackson wrote,\u00a0<\/span>\u201d \u2026 in Scottie\u2019s case, simply by being present. \u2018Scottie was one of those guys for whom I had to be there every single day,\u2019 says Michael. \u2018If I took a day off, he would take a day off. But if I was there every single day, he would follow.’\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Jordan\u2019s approach for the \u2018Worm\u2019 would be completely different,\u00a0<\/span>\u201cWith other players\u2014Dennis in particular\u2014Michael would go emotional. \u2018You couldn\u2019t yell at Dennis,\u2019 he says. \u2018You had to find a way to get into his world for a few quick seconds so that he could understand what you were saying.\u2019 \u201c<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

In the end, MJ\u2019s efforts would pay their dividends, as the Bulls went on to win three Championships in a row from 1995 to 1998. Without Mumford, there was a high chance that Jordan and his teammates would have had a severe falling out, with many on the squad dispising No 23 for his egotistical ways.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
