"I am returning as a player to the game I love," said Jordan. He was a former player for the Chicago Bulls,and is now playing for the Washington Wizards. Jordan was a five time MVP. He retired for his second time in 1999, but as we can see he missed his sport too much to leave it forever. He is NBA's fourth leading scorer, and has won 10 scoring titles.
