Best Player Comebacks in Sports History
Posted May 8, 2017
Michael Jordan, Chicago Bulls - Jordan announced his return on March 18, 1995 with the words, “I’m back” and then suited up against the Indiana Pacers the next day wearing No. 45 (the Bulls had retired his No. 23 in November 1994). It took a few games, but Jordan found his groove and the Bulls won three more titles from 1996-98. No other comeback in NBA history tops this encore.
