From 1984 to 1998, Michael Jordan was the king of Chicago. He was a legend and one of the greatest athletes in the history of the NBA. He made Chicago his home and in turn, the city erupted each time he took to the floor. So much so that, his daughter, Jasmine Jordan claims to have hearing issues.

After years of mediocrity, it was Jordan who brought life back to the United Center. Winning six championships for the Bulls.
It certainly was an incredible 14 years in Chicago. The games were wild and the crowds were deafening. To the point where MJ’s daughter, Jasmine Jordan talked about what it was like during her father’s last championship run.

It must have been quite an experience. One that will never be forgotten. Both by Jasmine and the city of Chicago alike.
MJ retired from the Chicago Bulls twice in 1993 and 1998
Usually, athletes hang up their boots only once in their careers. However, in the case of Michael Jordan, the GOAT retired a grand total of three times. Two of which were while he was with the Chicago Bulls. He retired the first time in 1993 and the second after his sixth and final championship in 1998.
20 years ago today, Michael Jordan retired for the 2nd time. This set off a 10-day chain of events unprecedented in pro sports, transforming a 62-win, three-time defending champ into a 13-37 nightmare and changing the Bulls franchise in ways that still reverberate.
