Michael Jordan opens up about how his father's death changed him in Sunday's 'The Last Dance.'
Michael said that his father was"the voice of reason that always drove and challenged me," and his death changed Michael's life and his outlook forever.
"One of the things that he always taught me is that you have to take a negative and turn it into a positive," he added."So I started looking to the other side of it, and that helped me get through it." With his dad's death weighing heavily on his shoulders, Michael came to the decision that he wanted to retire. He'd already accomplished so much in such a short time, and he felt he no longer had any motivation.
When asked if he remembers the last conversation he had with his dad, Michael said,"We were debating, me and him. We were debating about me playing baseball." However, his return led to more wild speculation with rumors that his retirement was in fact a"secret suspension" issued by Commissioner David Stern related to his gambling scandals.
