Jordan brought his old coach doug collins to the Bulls, hoping to pull this team out of the swamp of rotten teams. Unfortunately, although the Wizards qualified for the playoff tickets, they failed to enter the playoff for two years. However, Jordan still left many great moments, and his score was 40 points higher than when he just turned 40 in 2002-03.
200 1, Jordan, then president of the wizards, walked out of the office and returned to the basketball court. Due to his age, his skills are not as good as before. Despite the pain, he scored 23 points in almost every game. With injuries (especially knee injuries), he is still an important member of the team.
In the 2002-03 season, Jordan wore specially designed sneakers to relieve the pressure on his knees and returned to the court healthily. This time, he scored 20 points per game. That year, he played the last all-star game. After the season, he bid farewell to the fans for the third time.
At the beginning of 0 1-02 season, Jordan donated 1 ten thousand dollars to help the victims of the 9 1 1 incident.
Out of respect for Jordan, even though he never played for a team in Florida, the Miami Heat retired his No.23 jersey at the price of 1 1 in April 2003. This is the first time in the history of Miami Heat 15. Half of this jersey is Wizarding Blue and the other half is Bull Red.
The battle of Philadelphia was the last battle of Jordan's career. On April 6, 2003, Jordan scored 15 points in a limited playing time, but failed to help the Wizards finally win. At last 1.44 seconds, Jordan made his last two free throws, and the audience applauded warmly for three minutes. Unfortunately, the Wizards didn't make the playoffs.
In the 2004-05 season, DeUEX, a wizard without Jordan, entered the playoffs, destroying the bulls in the first round and being kicked out of the game by the Heat in the second round.
He left the stadium as a player and returned to the management. He looked at these young superstars and was sure that the NBA was working well. In his book For the Love of the Game: My Story, he wrote: "There is no such thing as a perfect basketball player in this world. I never believed that there was a greatest player. Everyone is in a different era, and I have contributed my talents on the shoulders of my predecessors. I believe that "greatness" is an evolving process. Without Julius, david thompson, walter davis and elgin baylor, there would be no Michael Jordan. I learn from them.
Jordan likes to prove his opponent wrong. In a symmetrical Utah jazz game, Jordan poured a basket on the head of guard John stockton, and a jazz fan shouted, "Dare to pour a big one!" In the next round, Jordan poured one on the 6-foot 1 1 inch, 285-pound center Melvin Tourre flat head, and then asked the fans, "Is this big enough?"
