### Basketball Epic: The Twilight of the Flyer's Retirement
In the starry sky of basketball, there is a bright star that lights up the night sky throughout the 90s, and that is Michael Jordan. Like a meteor that never falls, he pierced the sky, leaving behind unforgettable trails. However, in the summer twilight of 1998, the star chose to retire, leaving countless basketball fans with an eternal question: Why did Jordan choose to retire at his peak?
### Prologue to Glory: The Rise of a Basketball Legend
On the turbulent basketball court, Jordan is like a king, leading the Chicago Bulls to the peak of victory again and again. Every time he jumped, it was like "flying down 3,000 feet" in the poem, which was shocking, and every time he scored, it was like "being at the top of the mountain, seeing the mountains at a glance", no one could match. In the 1990s, Jordan was the era when he and the Bulls wrote a basketball epic, reaching the NBA Finals six times and winning three consecutive championships twice.
However, just as this glorious prologue was about to turn a new page, Jordan chose to stop. In 1998, he was 35 years old, an age that basketball players had to face. The years have left their mark on him, his body is starting to send signs of exhaustion, and injuries are starting to eat away at his competitive form. In this context, Jordan's retirement seems to have become an inevitability.
### The main chapter of retirement: the helplessness and choice behind it
Jordan's retirement is not just due to physical exhaustion. There are deeper reasons behind it. The relationship between Jordan and Bulls owner Jerry Krause is like a war without gunpowder, and the two have opposite philosophies. Klaus is eager to build the Bulls into a new, youngster-centric team with higher commercial value after Jordan's retirement, while Jordan wants to continue to lead the Bulls to more honors.
In such a contradiction, Jordan chose to retire, not only for his own body and family considerations, but also to avoid further intensification of the contradiction with Klaus. He already has enough accolades and accomplishments that he doesn't need to prove his worth with championships. Retiring, for him, is to better enjoy the fun of basketball, rather than being bound by commercial interests.
### A New Chapter Beyond Basketball: Jordan's Transformation and Rebirth
Jordan's retirement is not the end of his basketball career, but a new beginning. After retiring, he did not leave basketball, but became the owner of a basketball team and continued to contribute to the basketball career. At the same time, Jordan also ventured into the business field and became a successful entrepreneur. His business empire covers sports brands, restaurants, entertainment and other fields, and has become one of the most influential sports brands in the world.
Jordan's retirement transformed him from a legend on the basketball court to a giant in the business field. His life has become more expansive, and he continues to work hard for his basketball career and his dreams. On this new stage, Jordan continues to write his legend with a new identity.
### Summary: The Flyer is retired, and the legend continues
Michael Jordan's retirement was a turning point in basketball history. His departure has made countless fans feel sorry, but his retirement, from the perspective of body, family and career, is a wise decision. Jordan's retirement did not end his basketball career, but opened up a broader stage for him. On this stage, he continued to work hard for his basketball career and his dreams, and became a legend forever.
