After Basketball: Part One
Michael
retired multiple times and came back multiple times in his career. His first
retirement was in October of 1993, he did say that there was a possibility of
returning to the game. Everyone was guessing when or if the great Michael
Jordan would return. The people that said he would return were right. Michael
returned to the court in 1995, to help the Chicago Bulls to another
championship in the 1995-1996 season. Michael was one of those people that
couldn’t quit the game that he loved so much. After that season, he was a star
in the movie Space Jam. This film was a live action and animation character,
such as Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck, playing basketball with Michael. He did play
the next season and played stronger than the season before he had 30.4 points
per game. He amazingly still led the team to the NBA Finals against the Utah
Jazz. These two teams faced each other once again for the championship in 1998.
The Bulls came out victorious and beat the Jazz two years in a row. He once
again retired after the 1997-1998 season. He once again came back to the sport
as owner and as president of basketball operations for the Washington Wizards.
In the fall of 2001 Jordan got more involved and gave those roles up to get
back on the court once again. He played for the Wizards for two seasons before
hanging up his jersey for good in 2003, but there were questions of if he would
return again.
