Quit on his team
33 YEARS AGO TODAY 30-year-old Michael Jordan retired after leading the league in scoring, finishing 2nd in DPOY & winning his 1st 3-Peat "If the urge comes back, if the Bulls will have me, if David Stern lets me back in the league, I may come back."

That’s too harsh. But this did crush me. The two retirements are the biggest knock on MJ. People can’t claim “he’s the greatest competitor” when he quit twice.

It’s not called quitting when you just did a 3 peat. Quitting would be LeBron when he went to Miami, LeBron when he went back to Cleveland, Bronze going to LA, and now Bronze going to Philly

How? They were a 3-peat team… literally the 2nd team in NBA history to achieve the feat up until that point. Quitting on your team would imply they needed you to be a winning team lol… the system was already a well oiled machine by the time he took a temporary retirement

Why would you keep playing after a 3 peat? You have nothing else to prove. Went to play baseball and came back. How many has done that?

quitting on your team is not getting back on defense a dozen times a game complaining to the ref or rolling around on the court after yet another flop.
