5) ‘Air’ Jordan lands—again. On this day, in 1999, NBA megastar Michael Jordan, of the Chicago Bulls, announces his retirement from the game—for the second time—in front of the home fans at Chicago’s United Center. Widely considered the greatest player in the history of the sport, Jordan was originally drafted by the Bulls, with the third-overall pick in the 1984 NBA Draft. He won his first NBA Championship in 1991—the first of three consecutive NBA titles. Reeling from the murder of his father and an NBA investigation into allegations of illegal betting, Jordan retired from basketball in 1993. Turning to baseball, he signed a minor league contract with the Chicago White Sox and was assigned to affiliates the Birmingham Barons. While a big draw for fans, Jordan struck out 114 times in 127 games during his first season, and, by March of 1995, he wad decided to return to the hardwood. Jordan’s second retirement was the result of Chicago head coach Phil Jackson leaving the team following bitter tension between Jackson and Bulls General Manager Jerry Krause. Jordan would come out of retirement in 2001 with the Washington Wizards after he became part-owner of that franchise. “Air” Jordan retired for the final time on April 16, 2003.
