Michael Jordan stunned the Bulls and the NBA when he announced his retirement in 1993. In the fall of 1993, in his prime and at the summit of the sports world, Michael Jordan walked away from pro basketball. After leading the Dream Team to an Olympic gold medal in 1992 and taking the Bulls to their third consecutive NBA championship the following year, Jordan was jolted by the murder of his father. Was it the brutal loss of such an anchor in his life that caused the world's most famous athlete to rekindle a childhood ambition by playing baseball? Or some feeling that he had nothing left to prove or conquer in basketball? Or something deeper and perhaps not yet understood? Ron Shelton, a former minor leaguer who brought his experiences to life in the classic movie "Bull Durham," will revisit Jordan's short career in the minor leagues and explore the motivations that drove the world's most competitive athlete to play a new sport in the relative obscurity of Birmingham, Alabama, for a young manager named Terry Francona.
1992 NBA Finals Jordan was named Finals MVP for the second year in a row and finished the series averaging 35.8 ppg, 4.8 rpg, and 6.5 apg, 1.67 steals, .33 blocks while shooting 53% from the floor.

360.kombo.com With the NBA's offseason turning into an episode of "As the World Turns", complete with misdirections, surprises, and plenty of betrayals, perhaps it's time to look ahead to October when another conflict will be waged between EA and 2K Sports over who dominates the digital hardwood. And while EA looks to rebound after some tough seasons with an Elite new look, 2K is bringing out the big guns with the greatest man to ever wear number 23 - sorry, LeBron. Michael Jordan will hold court on the cover of NBA 2K11, but that's not all the arguable greatest of all time will be doing for this one. 2K11 will essentially be a tribute to His Airness, as players will challenge themselves to recreate his greatest moments. The "Jordan Challenge" mode will feature 10 of Jordan's most prolific games, each featuring the player putting themselves in his size 13 Nikes throughout his career. As revealed by Kotaku, players will start in April 1986 against the Boston Celtics, where Jordan shot a 63 points for Chicago in a stunning playoff loss. He'll then move to 1990, where Jordan again worked his playoff magic to drop 69 on the Cleveland Cavaliers, a game Jordan himself considers his best ever. Players will then move into Jordan's peak years, battling against a hard-nosed Detroit Pistons team in the 1990 Easter Conference Finals, before the Bulls moved onto playoff success in the 1991 Finals against Magic Johnson and the Lakers, notable for Jordan's spectacular switch-hands layup ...

On October 6, 1993, Jordan announced his retirement, citing a loss of desire to play the game. Jordan later stated that the murder of his father earlier in the year shaped his decision. James R. Jordan, Sr. was murdered on July 23, 1993, at a highway rest area in Lumberton, North Carolina, by two teenagers, Daniel Green and Larry Martin Demery. The assailants were traced from calls they made on James Jordan's cellular phone, caught, convicted, and sentenced to life in prison. Jordan was close to his father; as a child he had imitated his father's proclivity to stick out his tongue while absorbed in work. He later adopted it as his own signature, displaying it each time he drove to the basket. In 1996 he founded a Chicago area Boys & Girls Club and dedicated it to his father. In his 1998 autobiography For the Love of the Game, Jordan wrote that he had been preparing for retirement as early as the summer of 1992. The added exhaustion due to the Dream Team run in the 1992 Olympics solidified Jordan's feelings about the game and his ever-growing celebrity status. Jordan's announcement sent shock waves throughout the NBA and appeared on the front pages of newspapers around the world. Jordan then further surprised the sports world by signing a minor league baseball contract with the Chicago White Sox. He reported to spring training and was assigned to the team's minor league system on March 31, 1994.[47] Jordan has stated this decision was made to pursue the dream of his late ...
