After winning his third consecutive NBA championship, at the peak of his career, Michael Jordan, on October 6, 1993, announced his retirement, shocking the entire sports world. Jordan said: “The mental aspect is not the same – the challenge is not as great. I promised myself – and said this publicly several times – that when the mental challenge started to fade, I would leave. That moment has now arrived. " He then decided to take up baseball, for the 1994 baseball season, playing for the Birmingham Barons, an affiliate of the Chicago White Sox in the Class AA Southern League. With the gradual return of the mental challenge , on March 18, 1995, Jordan publicly announced that he would join the Chicago Bulls and play the next day in the nationally televised game against the Pacers in Indianapolis. He took the court wearing a new jersey – number 45 – an advanced sweater. and a whole new game. Jordan returned to the game with one ambition in mind: to prove to NBA fans around the world that he is, without a doubt, the greatest player of all time. After his return, he. managed to dominate the game and the market, in such a way that no other player can compare. Michael Jordan returned to the NBA in the middle of the regular season, in which the Chicago Bulls were in a disaster. pitiful 34-31 record, Jordan's return was the team's only hope. Although he looked a little rusty in his first game, he quickly managed to get back on track in his fifth game with an unforgettable 55 points against the New York Knicks. With Jordan, the Bulls went 13-4 to finish the season 47-35 overall, taking the team to the playoffs. Jordan proved that even after years away, he could come back at an older age and dominate the league more than before. He showed that we could still lead the league into our thirties. He may have been a little less agile, but in compensation, Jordan was a much more efficient and controlled jump shooter, a three-point scoring threat, and remained an exceptional contributor across the board. It was not until his return, during the 95-96 season, that Jordan started all 100 games for the Bulls, becoming the first and only player to start the entire regular season. In the same season, joining Willis Reed, he was the second man to win the regular season, All-Star Game and NBA Finals MVP awards..
