The Oral History of Michael Jordan’s Pickup Games Against Regular Chicagoans

Posted Jun 18, 2020
Michael Jordan did play plenty of basketball in Chicago in 1993 and '94—just not for the Bulls. During his time with the Bulls, Jordan was a fixture at the Athletic Club at Illinois Center. There, during his first retirement, Jordan worked out with his trainer, Tim Grover, in preparation for baseball, but he was also a frequent participant in games of pickup basketball.
