nike air jordan retro 1 high og zoom zen green rage, Michael Jordan returned to the NBA. Twenty years ago today, he suited up for the Bulls for the first time in one year, eight months and 28 days since winning the 1993 NBA title.
Though Jordan was still conditioned for baseball, he performed admirably with only a handful of practices under his belt.
The stat line for Jordan’s first game back against the Pacers: 19 points, six rebounds, six assists, three steals, three turnovers, and three fouls in 43 minutes. That includes 7 of 28 from the field, 0 for 4 from three-point range, five of six from the free-throw line. It didn’t matter likewise much what numbers he put up, his mere presence on the court was must-see TV. But then Pacers had to go and spoil the feel-good vibe. Pacers 103, Bulls 96.
As Jordan played more, he played better. His next game three days later in his final Boston Garden appearance, he dropped in 27 points. Three days after that in Atlanta, 32 points including the game-winner. Three more days, the 55-point scorcher in Madison Square Garden.
