He did not make his final high school basketball team try-outs. His h.s. coach passed him up becuase he saw 'nothing special' about him. Interesting. What else besides a relentless intense internal drive and inspiration could not let that experience deter him from at least practicing on his own anyway.

> I cannot see Jordan go for the movies, I see him sticking to sports and sports shoes sales, but Rodman just goes all out in his attention-seeking, starring in movies is stepping out of his sports 'concentration' and maintaining his 'look at me' exhibitionist needs.

Hi Cecil! Are you OK? What an outburst that was! While you were gone we lost Andy and Dave from the board. Don't do these things again, please!
You are right about Rodman. With Jordan I tend to agree with DeeCee. As to intense internal drive and reserve of inspirational drive it *can* be a 3 trait. I find that I have it. I was not aware of it until people pointed it out tome. Sometimes I act for the audience, but anything serious in my life comes from inside, from the drive I have deep down.
