Micheal Jordan lied?

Question

Why did Michael Jordan lie to all the Bulls fan's in 1994 when he retired?
MJ retired in 1994...he said he wanted to "spend more time with his family and watch his Kids grow up"...........
Yet a few months later he was off playing baseball?????
Also....if MJ has this "will to win"..why did he get "bored" after winning only 3 championship's???......Bill Russell did'nt get bored after winning 8 in a row!...Magic Johnson did'nt get bored after winning 5(and going to NINE!)...Bird did'nt get bored after winning 3!....They still wanted to win!...
MJ qits to go play baseball...he fails miserably and quits Baseball..(becuz it's too hard)...comes back and the Bull's do worse!..so much for his "will to win".
MJ is overrated to make $$$
Do you people even watch basketball???.......MJ talked about retiring in 1992 !!......and if was all about his Pop's....why did he quit baseball??
MJ just did that so he could HYPE up his Legacy even more!..don't be fooled by the media!
What do you think?

Answer 1

david stern secretly suspened him for gambling....

Answer 2

Did'nt I just ask this question?.......................







anyway's...........even after his first NBA championship!..MJ thought about retiring...why?...because he believed his own HYPE!..he thought he could go play baseball and excel!....



yep!..His plan was to go play baseball..resurect the sport..and HYPE up his legacy!......and if he failed...so what?..the Bulls would probably suck so bad that he could come back and be a hero!........



what happened?....MJ goes and plays Minor league Baseball(he should have never been on his minor league team, But Jerry Reinsdorf owned the BULLS and The White Sox..so he gave MJ a free pass)..MJ sucks!!..I mean Sucks at Baseball!



the Bulls who had a 57 - 25 with Jordan (the year before) ..put up a 55 - 27 Record WITHOUT MJ!!...Scottie Pippen..BJ Armstrong and Horrace Grant are all Allstars...and Scottie Pippen becomes only the second player ever to lead his team in all statistical catagory's(not done since dave Cowens).....they lose a game 7 to the NY Knicks(who went to the Finals)....If not for a Horrible call in game 6 the Bulls would have went to there 4 th straight Finals...all without MJ!..



the next year 95' ..the Bulls are playing great in the second Half of the season!..there Rolling! along and the Playoff's are only a month away!.......



Hows MJ doing?......he's still Sucking!..I mean after a year and a half..one would think he would show some improvement...right?...wrong!...He still sucks....so what does he do?....He Quits!.....so much for his" will to win"..lol



he see's the BULLS are playing well!..so what does he do?....well he's afraid the Bulls would win a Title without him..so he comes back!...he Ballhog's his way to a First round exit vs the Magic!..he made the Bulls worse!.......they did better the year before ..without Him!..........next year ..they add Rodman!..and few other Roll players..and the media as usual makes $$ off of his Dunks and gives him the credit!

Answer 3

Michael Jordan retired in 1994 after the murder of his father. At that time, he needed to be with his family. After a while, he started getting antsy, as most all people do when they're away from work that love for a long time, and he went back to the sport his late, great father taught him - baseball. That floundered. At that point, the city of Chicago wanted him back on their basketball team.



How dare you.

Answer 4

you're a total idiot. Completely ignorant of the circumstances, so your conclusion is as flawed as you're feeble spelling.



His decision to retire and watch his children grow up was one based on:

1) being on top of his game and not having any challenges

2) his dad dying, thus sparking the emotions to become closer to his kids.



He went on to play baseball since that was the sport he favored BEFORE basketball. His dad played baseball, too, I believe. He tried to play baseball as a homage to his father. Nothing more. He didnt seek glory nor fame, even putting his teammates before him. He purchased - and left behind - the team bus so that his teammates could travel with a little comfort than on a Greyhound.



As for when he came back...didnt the Bulls subsuquently go on to win three more titles during his first full season "un-retired"?



MJ is as over-rated as your self-importance of asking this question.

Answer 5

Its his life. If he got bored and wanted a new challenge then its up to him. He won 3 championships in a row. He had nothing else to prove. He wanted to try something new so he played some baseball. It didn't work out so he came back to basketball and won 3 more. Retired got bored and came back again.



I think I would love to have those kinda options in life. I can't quit my job because its bored to try something else.

Answer 6

There were probably a lot of other factors affecting his retirement, like the death of his father.



And he did not make the bulls worse when he came back. They became the best team in the history of the NBA, winning 72 games and the NBA title.

Answer 7

its just like anything really. he quit, found he had more time on his hands and he didnt have enough things to do in the day/night to fill his schedule.



why cant boxers stay retired? to stop doing something you have been doing for so long is a hard habit to break.



in jordans case it was playing sports where people love him. i mean obviously baseball wasnt a good career choice but he wanted to try something different when he found out that retirement wasnt the life that he thought it was.



how many times have you and I changed our mind? whether it was taking back a boyfriend or girlfriend to only dump them two weeks later. how many times do people change their majors at college? all the time. its human nature to change what your doing and flip flop on choices.



athletes may be in better shape and can handle pressure better but they are still human and they cant fight the urge to do stay down so they try something new.



and really he tried to play a sport he wasnt so great in to hype up his legacy? remember he didnt even get out of the minors. he did it because he wanted to try it. Jordan didnt need anymore hyping he was a great player, a great winner, a great scorer, and an all around defender.(this is coming from a phoenix fan who doesnt like jordan)



maybe he didnt get bored after winning only 3?(btw he has 6 rings total, so maybe he HAD the fire to win)



anyways you just sound like a Jordan hater. i dont like jordan but you cant rip on him. i mean whats next your gonna hate on Jerry Rice?

Answer 8

First of all stop sucking mj.........

They did worst lol lol lol............they won 3 more times.

Jordan was the best player ever...

no one can even come close...

He won 6 championships



the goat is what they call MJ...and there is a reason why....

That's why people always refer to him ....example...tiger woods is the Michael Jordan of golf





mj didn't really lie

It was the only thing he could do...

So what you wanted him to say hey...i don't wanna play basketball right now. He had millions of dollars riding on this.

His clothing line would have went crashing down.



he has a imagine to uphold

Answer 9

>>>

>>



he Retired because they killed his father that summer... He wanted to spend time with his kids and then tried baseball... finally coming back to the NBA.." For the love of the Game".

Answer 10

I don't know him so I can't speak about his personal feelings but I know at different times I've wanted to do different things with my life so what makes him different? It's his life to live. He won 3 rings got tired of it and wanted to try Baseball then changed his mind again.

Answer 11

And, don't forget about the time that he signed with the Washington Wizards. It's not that he lied though, he just couldn't let the fans down by retiring so soon.

Answer 12

Is this all you think about in your free time? He quit, and then he decided that he did not want to just sit around so he went and did something, why does it bother you so much?

Answer 13

he sucked at baseball he got too much hubris and thought since he was the best at b-ball why not baseball

Answer 14

People buy stuff with this name and face on it, sponsors offer him millions to sell, fan treat him like a god.



Gee, why wouldn't he give all that up?

Answer 15

his life bull fans suk any ways

Answer 16

he didn't lie

Answer 17

you are stupid
