“I’m Back” — How Michael Jordan’s 1995 Return Led to the Unstoppable Bulls

“I’m Back” — How Michael Jordan’s 1995 Return Led to the Unstoppable Bulls

Michael Jordan returned to the NBA in 1995 after playing professional baseball, wearing number 45 with just 17 games left in the season. The Orlando Magic talked trash in the playoffs, saying “45 isn’t 23,” and eliminated the Bulls 4–2 behind Shaq and Penny Hardaway. That loss fueled Jordan’s comeback, as he switched back to 23, swept Orlando in their playoff rematch, and led the Chicago Bulls to their historic second three-peat. A defining chapter in NBA history.
