Now here’s a player that didn’t waltz into retirement. Known as one of the greatest players of all time, the Chicago Bulls legend retired initially in 2004 but changed his mind almost as soon as the announcement was made. His comeback was long and hard, and he never got that 7th ring he was after all along.
Eventually, it became time to settle on a new dream. Collaborating with his brother, he opened a livestock farm in Arkansas. This, coupled with television appearances everyone now and then, keeps him busy, and helps him not to think about the one that got away.
