35. Air Jordan Walks Away In Philadelphia
A 107-87 defeat to 76ers puts an end to superstar s glittering 15-year career.Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Michael Jordan finally found the strength to walk off the basketball court, leaving behind the sport he describes as a lover and best friend after playing his final game .
The 40 -year-old superstar concluded his fabled1 15-year National Basketball Association2 career in defeat when Philadelphia 76ers beat his Washington Wizards 107-87. But the game was secondary to Jordan s third and final retirement from the game he loved like no player before him, a sport that rewarded his devotion with NBA titles, two Olympic gold medals and a legendary global legacy.
Jordan led the Chicago Bulls to six NBA titles. He was named the season MVP five times and won the NBA scoring title a record 10 times. Jordan has retired twice before only to return, but at age 40 and on longer be able to dominate games single -handedly,
he has said he is 100 percent sure this was his farewell performance in the game he will forever love. Love is a very delicate thing, Jordan said. Once you love it, you will never lose the love for the game. You never know when you can walk away from it. I tried a couple of times. Jordan s first retirement was in 1993 . It ended in 1995 after an ill-fated fling with baseball. After three more titles, he departed again in 1999, only to return a year later as the Wizard s top executive . He was back on the court 18 months later.
