That Wizards version of MJ made me appreciate him more than any other time in his career. It proved that it wasn’t all God given talent. Wasn’t the speed, quickness and 48 inch vertical. It was pure skill underneath all of that and he wouldn’t have been able to show that otherwise

So they lost Horace but didnt replace him with Rodman yet. Btw Jordan gets too much individual credit for winning 6, an individual only can do so much, that's why he was 1-9 his first 3 playoff series and then lost to Pistons 3straight years. It's a team game . Bulls team defense held Sonics under 90ppg in the 96 finals while Jordan was 27pts on 41% and the TEAM defense held Utah to 54pts in a finals game in 98. Jordan is lucky Hakeem never had a teammate like prime Scottie Pippen and to not have see them in any finals.

I once saw a MJ's interview that he explicitly said he didn't regret his 1st retirement and instead he genuinely enjoyed his baseball period. His 1st retirement helped him have a good rest, physically and mentally. And during his absence, the bulls underwent rebuild, being reinforced. Those factors greatly contributed to the 2nd 3 peats. If MJ didn't retire in 93, they could make to final But I don't think their winning chance high. After all Olajuwon and his Rockets were unstoppable during 94 - 95. It's the fans' regret they never saw those 2 legends of 84 meet in final.

I personally loved MJ's Wizards years. After watching him retire in 1994, and then 1998 again, the NBA wasn't the same without him. He saw another challenge and the greateast of all time felt he had gas left in the tank. His numbers weren't vintage but he was still phenomenal, a must watch player on a nightly basis. Look at his highlights from when he was 40 years old and compare that to stuff you see today from 20 and 30 year olds. He came back 20 lbs heavier, played forward, and was carrying the Wizards, who lets face it were terrible. He was much more cerebral. His skill set, footwork and moves were so tactical. He really had to pick his spots without the athletic ability. We all like the idea of walking in the sunset a champion, but when you are "the man in the arena" I think you need to have the game retire you and not the other way around. He should regret nothing. Leave no shots in the chamber.

Well said Jay Will

[@terrybranaman5242]

Thank you guys for letting us know the greatest player of all time should have no regrets about his career ..... Where would we be without these guys to tell us that

[@justk5068]

Zero regrets

[@Aj4youtube]

The Wizards run sucked but that 2003 All Star game with his last second shot was tight. Until they called that stupid foul.

[@dev30]

Jermaine O'neal ruined that moment by committing the foul. Couldn't stand Jermaine O'neal after that lol.

[@jtremaine23]

@@dev30 Haha....I felt the same way about J. O'Neal after that too.

Whether its sports or a job or just in life if you work hard and demand it from other its gonna rub some people the wrong way no matter what but thats what it takes to be great

Well said Jay. ✌

[@marcusfitzgerald59]

How do they know he has regrets? Did he say it to them. Nope.

[@dayra6425]

When you look at Jordans stats with the wizards and realize how good those stats really are, it's pretty crazy

[@dustinf49]

The absolute best there ever was. "Regrets?" Very interesting subject matter. This is what happens when you have "news" 24/7.

[@heshmiabennett3167]

The last comeback was a favor to David Stern and Ab Pollin. The league at the time ratings were down because Jordan’s retirement and other factors. A promise was made that ownership would be given to Mike but Ab Pollin pulled back in the agreement that’s why Micheal was seen driving off furious.

[@therealc.t.7085]

Gotta link for the vid of him driving off?

[@heshmiabennett3167]

Providing articles right now looking for videos

[@youngblood4127]

Even if you want to go with the actual timeline with the Wizards - Jordan & The Wizards would've made the finals in 2002. So not including the hypothetical return in 1999 & 2000, you have 1989 if they got past the Pistons. 1994, 1995 & 2002. 4 highly plausible finals appearances.

[@nolookpass7079]

well it didn't happen

[@spongeaang98]

Only regret I can see from this is retiring in his physical prime after his 93 season. The Bulls still topped the East without him those years, he could've easily gotten 8 if he wanted.

[@NoobServbot]

I wish I could find the video where he said it, but I think I heard MJ say he had one regret over wondering if they could've remained perfect in the Finals. As long as the core stayed together with Phil, I think Jordan would've preferred to have kept playing until they couldn't reach the finals anymore or finally got beat.

[@arlichar11]

i used to think about why he did what he did..and at time not understand,,, now im adult and ecant play anymore, and i get it all! he loved the game .. he was on top.. tragedy... he wanted play baseball , he knew he could so he went for it..then he realize still love the game,, and head clear and ready to return! the wizards was again he loved the game ..he wanted play while still able .so he did... it doesnt tarnish what he did, it only makes him more likeable that he was just having fun.. not worried about legacy...and it makes for a more interesting time line of his life ..

[@spunterage]

Jay Williams is spot on about MJ’s philanthropic side. It’s easy to google and see that he was giving from the 80s. He’s given huge amounts of money during his career and post career but he’s done it with little fan fare especially before social media.

Check the stats Mj was still balling on the wizards

[@coltonbeebe8779]

Except for when he got kicked out of the league for gambling. But y’all not ready for that conversation 🤫

[@deonlionheart]

could you say more about it?

[@MrGenexxx]

At least his teammate didn’t bang his momma and he didn’t choke away multiple finals.

[@jayphilly1703]

@@MrGenexxx explain how the person you are talking about choked multiple finals?

[@alikodangote8437]

Still not worse than being an all time great that has had the luxury of playing with more NBA athletes than any other active or retired and somehow manage to have a negative finals record .

[@Jordan5s]

what’s wrong with gambling

[@anon2414]

He said years ago he wished they could have played together until someone took them out. They disbanded after the second 3 peat. No one ever dethroned them.

[@allentrias1433]

Plus his last season with wizards he was able to do his farewell tour...

[@topsykretts2264]

Should regret not playing the 3 seasons that he missed out on after the 98 finals. Those were still prime years.

[@djten7446]

I agree with Steve and Jay Williams. Michael had nothing more to prove. When he came out of retirement to play with the Wizards, a few things happened. At first, he looked old. But after he got on national TV in an after game press conference and said "I THINK WE STINK!! These guys are young enough to play far better than they are now!" That lit a fire under their seats and with that, he turned that team into winners and that was his main objective. For the first time, the Wizards had a winning record! He knew he wasn't going to win another championship. Especially with that team because they didn't think on the high level that he did. Second, young guys at that time who had never seen him play, got to see The Legend up close personal! Guys like Tim Duncan, Yao Ming, Dirk Newitski and even Vince Carter were all ecstatic! And even guys who were still playing like Shaq, Kobe, Allen Iverson, and many others were happy to see him come back because even though he wasn't the player of old, they knew he still had plenty of gas in the tank and they had better elevate their games! He showed the Wizards the true meaning of competing and what it takes to win! He also showed them how told to handle reporters after a game. Also, he inspired many people in their 40s and beyond that you can be 38, 39 and 40 years old and still got it!

Jordan on the wizards was a monster

[@siya1175]

Please bring back the NBA geez

[@cobrachannel100]

I agree with Max on this one. Wizards years ruined it to a degree for me. Not completely but a blemish a bit on the resume. Those years, not too many people know, lowered this career FG % to under 50%. FYI, he was at %51.5 as a Bull. Absolutely mind blowing numbers scoring that much at that clip for a guard.

[@Logan-0120]

Kobe once told a new young player when the kid tried to say hello "you don't have enough accolades to talk to me yet". It sounds cold! But great players know that they're going to be very hard on their teammates until they get it right! So don't try to be his friend yet cause you might not like him.

[@omidnamin9004]

i regret that jordan retired originally, because there's not a doubt in my mind, they would have won a 8 peat

[@IEXPOSE828]

Lebron, mj, LeBron mj, LeBron mj, that's all these fools talk about when they're bored LOL

[@rondoloso8047]

Sick of it myself

[@AfroCentauri]

Targeting ownership and 30,000 points since he scored 29,227 as a Bull. Finishing with 6 rings and 30,000 is something only one other player ever did.

[@AndrewWright1998]

Jordan should have no regrets

[@darkmephilez]

I remember watching Jordan play with the Wizards. I still remember buying his jersey after he dropped 50+. Max is wrong on this one.

[@Quaaannn2306]
