October 6, 1993. The Chicago Bulls hold a press conference at the Berto Center in Deerfield, Illinois.
Michael Jordan, 30 years old, three-time NBA champion, three-time Finals MVP, announces his retirement from basketball.
His father, James Jordan, had been murdered three months earlier. Michael said he was burned out. Done. Ready for something different. Walking away at the peak of his powers.
The sports world went into mourning. The Bulls dynasty was over. Everyone knew it.
