After all, Hir Airness won six NBA championships and cemented a legacy as the greatest player in the history of the sport. And with <a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/michael-jordan-scored-8-9-million-payday-from-grocery-store-lawsuit\/\"  rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"$2.1 billion to his name (opens in a new tab)\">$2.1 billion to his name<\/a>, it's not like he's hurting financially. But even societal elites experience despair just like the rest of us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a man who literally soared to new heights, he hit his lowest moment inside a dingy hotel room in Alabama while watching a Wesley Snipes movie. As it turns out, Michael Jordan's <a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/michael-jordan-knew-he-was-going-to-leave-the-chicago-bulls-to-play-baseball-long-before-he-actually-did\/\"  rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"baseball days in Birmingham (opens in a new tab)\">baseball days in Birmingham<\/a> were much darker and emotionally draining than we all believed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Michael Jordan abruptly retired in his NBA prime<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Michael Jordan\u2019s Bulls Dynasty: 1992-1993 | NBA Highlights on ESPN\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hOiXZ0F879w?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>From the moment the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Chicago Bulls (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/what-happened-to-underrated-chicago-bulls-center-luc-longley\/\" >Chicago Bulls<\/a> drafted him with the third pick in the <a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/how-many-players-from-the-1984-nba-draft-class-are-in-the-hall-of-fame\/\"  rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"1984 NBA draft (opens in a new tab)\">1984 NBA draft<\/a>, Jordan changed the NBA forever. The North Carolina native was truly a transcendent talent capable of dominating the game in a way previously unseen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 6-foot-6 shooting guard made the All-Star team in each of his first nine seasons. During that prolific stretch, Jordan led the league in scoring in every season from 1986-1992. Paired with fellow future Hall of Famer Scottie Pippen, the Bulls built a dynasty that not even <a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/steph-currys-wife-gave-him-the-best-gift-an-nba-player-could-ask-for\/\"  rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Steph Curry (opens in a new tab)\">Steph Curry<\/a> and the Golden State Warriors could measure up to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Famous for his competitive drive, Jordan elevated his game in the postseason. He rarely got a breather, but that didn't matter. The five-time league MVP carried the Bulls to three consecutive NBA championships. It seemed like Chicago could conceivably spend the entire decade as the kings of the NBA. But out of nowhere, the reigning NBA Finals MVP took his talents from the court to the outfield in one of the strangest (and brief) retirements in sports history. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bulls legend attempted to play baseball<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Michael Jordan plays right field for the White Sox\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ezVvXFgjGgg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Michael Jordan and baseball had a strange relationship. On one hand, it was mightily impressive that he could even attempt to make a major league team. On the other hand, it all felt a little suspicious. Why would the greatest player in the NBA give up his title to become the lowest guy on the totem pole in the minor leagues? Many speculated it related to his <a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/michael-jordan-actually-gambled-on-nba-jumbotron-games-during-timeouts\/\"  rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"notorious gambling addiction (opens in a new tab)\">notorious gambling addiction<\/a>. The NBA legend later said his father's death inspired the decision. Maybe he truly loved the game, but either way, it ranks as one of the most bizarre decisions an athlete has ever made in his prime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jordan left the Bulls behind in favor of the Birmingham Barons. The Double-A affiliate of the Chicago White Sox couldn't have represented a more dramatic life shift. His Airness went from playing in front of millions of television viewers to playing baseball in the middle of Alabama. The transition proved extremely difficult, as Jordan hit just .202 with 114 strikeouts in 1994. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The saddest day in Jordan's life<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Jordan&#039;s Birmingham Barons Legacy\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HgFkX8RuV0c?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>That odd year toiling away in the desolate land known as minor league baseball proved to be an incredibly tough time in Jordan's life. He went from being the alpha male to just another guy in the clubhouse. And spending his nights in dingy hotels definitely didn't inspire many smiles from the NBA champion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/theathletic.com\/1754638\/2020\/04\/17\/dollars-and-sense-qa-with-melissa-isaacson-who-covered-the-michael-jordan-era\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Jon Greenberg of The\u00a0Athletic (opens in a new tab)\">Jon Greenberg of <\/a><em><a href=\"https:\/\/theathletic.com\/1754638\/2020\/04\/17\/dollars-and-sense-qa-with-melissa-isaacson-who-covered-the-michael-jordan-era\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Jon Greenberg of The\u00a0Athletic (opens in a new tab)\">The\u00a0Athletic<\/a><\/em> spoke with Melissa Isaacson, who covered the Bulls during their dynasty days.

It was muggy and rainy, the locker room was what you would expect in a Double-A clubhouse and I felt like taking him back with me to his old life where he belonged.
