From Michael Jordan; The Life, 2014 book by Roland Lazenby. Chapter 20.

HIS OLDER SISTER had seen it in him as a child. His father and even Red Auerbach had identified it as his career was taking off. Jordan loved to entertain the crowd. His relationship with the audience was growing in ways that those around him struggled to fathom, including the university scholars who had begun to study him as a force in popular culture.
Yet even as he ceded his existence over to the public domain, there remained much that Jordan kept hidden. He did this willfully, out of his growing instinct for self-preservation and his insistence that parts of his life were no one else’s business. Johnny Bach witnessed this with a sense of awe. An intense student of both the game and human nature, Bach was a grand philosopher, blessed with both charm and sincerity. Who knows where the narrative of Michael Jordan and the NBA might have gone had it not been for Bach and their conversations?
“If his eyes would light up and he was listening, I was fortunate that he listened,” Bach said of their relationship and his opportunity to work with the game’s greatest player.
**Jordan fought to keep his self-indulgence private as well as the burdens he chose to bear beyond the game. “I thought in the early days, he was doing so much, it was unbelievable,” Bach recalled. “He always visited with some person or child who had a last wish. He never turned anyone down. Every night he faced that, and I could never understand how he was strong enough to do it. Kids that were burned, brutalized, and dying by disease or something else. I can still remember he saw a kid who was brought in whose father had burned his face off him**. They brought him in, and Michael talked to him in that old dressing room we had in Chicago Stadium before the game. He just talked to him. You couldn’t imagine, a kid that was hideously burned. And Michael just talked to him. He put him on the bench, and during the game he would come over and ask, ‘How’d you like that jump shot?’ One of the officials came over and said, ‘Michael,

This feels so weird i thought even left handed gamers use their right hand for mouse and left hand for keyboard.
You people might remember this player as the guy who kept rank 1 in Korean soloQ for months when he was in Suning. And most recently had a decent run in 2019 LPL
Can't clip but he just confirmed on stream: https://www.twitch.tv/autimaticTV
Summary: Autimatic bought the EC2-B and had it delivered to his hotel room. He switched from whatever mouse he was using to that one to "try it." He used that mouse for the remainder of the Major. He's no longer using that mouse as of tonight's Stream, lol.
He also changed his rez from 1280x960 stretched to 1024 stretched. He's changed back to 1280 now though.
Lets say the parenting is all normal, except for always having a mask on, so no facial recognition and no facial expressions

> What went wrong in the fight > Benavidez: "I was that close to finishing someone many consider the best ever [in the first fight]. It's something that goes through my head all the time. Every little thing that I could have done different. I will randomly be driving and get upset. My wife will say 'what's the matter?' and I will say 'nothing.' But sometimes I think about little things like that and if it could have gone another way. > "The second fight he finished me so it wasn't nearly as close as the first. That goes to show that he made adjustments. He knocked me out -- saw a mistake within two minutes -- a person who has never been finished in 30 fights previously, so he's done what no one else has done."
Anyone know of other examples of fighters having long term difficulties dealing with their losses? I would guess a lot of them, but I haven't read any where it shows clear signs of long term issues like the quote from Joe here.
The child walks up to sign and decides to test if this sign is true.
The child asks, "What did you have for breakfast 30 years ago?"
The Native American states, "eggs."
The child states that the native could have just made that up, and then later leaves the bar.
Years later, when the child returns back with his own family he sees the same native at the bar.
Walking up to the man, he states a stereotypical, "how?!"
The Native replies, "scrambled."
