I actually have heard that, from his coach. He compared his focus and intensity to Michael Jordan's.

Here's what I could find on the fly:

"He does the same thing in practice every day," Williams said. "The young man is the most driven, most focused youngster I've ever seen in my life to try to be the best player he can be and to help his team win," Williams said.

That's awfully high praise, considering how many great players Williams has coached. Louisville coach Rick Pitino compared Hansbrough's drive to that of the greatest players in the history of the game, even Michael Jordan. Said Pitino, "Certainly, he doesn't have all of those skills of those superstars. But, just like shooting, rebounding, playing defense and passing are skills, working hard is an acquired skill."

The quote I heard from Williams actually mentioned Jordan directly.
