Wearing a Wizards Jersey
Out of all the near-impossibilities that happened to the league in 2001, MJ’s decision to return to the NBA as a player had to be the most shocking one. Even though he donned the Washing Wizards uniform and played his heart out on the court every night, he still maintained a managerial role with the organization.
He offered himself a two-year contract and aspired with his former coach, Doug Collings, to revive the team. Michael’s return to the court sparked interest in the team and filled the stadium’s seats every night. Sadly, he was long past his prime, and he failed on both occasions to lead the Wizards to the playoffs.
