“I’m not getting older, I’m getting wiser!”: When Michael Jordan responded brilliantly to question regarding his age, and potential retirement during Bulls days

A look back at the time when Chicago Bulls legend Michael Jordan was asked about getting on in age during his career

During all of his Chicago Bulls’ career, Michael Jordan was almost unequivocally the greatest player of all time.

During his long, long tenure, the man got the Bulls 6-championships, while he grabbed 5 MVPs, 6 MVPs, 3 All-Star MVPs and so, so much more.

Over time though, as all people do, the man got on with age, many started to wonder just when the man’s abilities wouldn’t quite be the same anymore. Heck, many even started to wonder if his retirement was coming up soon, despite his prime still in full swing.

At the time, a reporter decided to ask what everyone was thinking to the man, straight on. And let’s just say, you’re going to want to hear the answer.
