Jordan, understandably so, was still in a mourning period. His Father was a big baseball fan and always wanted Jordan to be a baseball player. Jordan did not do well in his one year in the minor league and decided to make his NBA return with the 2 most legendary words in NBA history.
After Michael Jordan made his return back to the NBA, it did not take him long to come back and dominate the league. Actually, it took him no time at all. In his first full season back, he won the NBA title.
And repeated and then eventually 3-peated. From NBA. July 7, November 14, July 30, I love the game of basketball. I always will. I just feel that, at this particular time in my career, I have reached the pinnacle of my career. I have achieved a lot in that short amount of time, if you want to call it short. But I just feel that I don't have anything else for myself to prove. There were no equals, no reasonable arguments to be made opposing the idea of Jordan being the best player on the planet.
Jordan didn't just own that era, though. He had thrown his name firmly into the "greatest of all time" conversation. His case only grew stronger through the back half of the decade, but it wasn't outlandish to consider him for that top spot following his third title. When Jordan asked Bulls coach Phil Jackson if there was anything left for him to do on the court, Jackson struggled to find an answer. That's all Jordan needed to hear.
MJ retired for a total of three times in his NBA career. As a result, he took time away from the league and played minor league baseball till When Jordan returned he was out of shape, but within a season regained his form and won three back to back championships.
Following this second three-peat, the then General Manager Jerry Krause decided to blow up the team.
