Athlete retirement is roughly divided into two kinds of results, one is "glory back to the hometown", one is "forced to return", "glory to return to the hometown" is to achieve a certain achievement, "forced" is to leave the field due to physical injury. However, in the history of the NBA league, the retirement of some players is slightly "willful", because their reasons for retirement are very strange, and they can obviously create glory again, including Michael Jordan.
1. Collison
It is a very common phenomenon for players to choose to retire for physical reasons, but Collison is different, he gave up basketball because of religious beliefs. If he had not retired, he would have been one of the representative players of the small-ball era, with super talent and annual salary, and his retirement was also a major loss for the NBA league.
2. Larry Sanders
Everyone wanted to play a big game in the NBA league, but Larry Sanders didn't, his physical fitness was explosive, his talent was outstanding, and he was the Inside General of the Bucks at the time. However, later Larry Sanders did not want to stay in the NBA league, as if he had lost his interest and love of basketball in an instant, and he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to buy out the contract with the Bucks and turn around to pursue the life he wanted.
3. Royce White
Although he is a good basketball player, the most difficult to overcome is the psychological obstacle, Royce White is full of talent on the court, which is the hope of the Rockets. However, as an NBA player, it is inevitable to fly around to participate in the game, but Royce White is a person with anxiety disorders, afraid of flying, it is difficult to go to the field to play. For a long time, this kind of trouble has forced him to give up the basketball career he loves, and this reason for retirement is also very rare.
4. Jordan
How lonely invincible is, just look at Jordan to know, as an NBA player who has never been in the past and has never come after, Jordan created the Bull Dynasty and created many achievements that are difficult for future generations to break through. The reason why he chose to retire in his heyday was because there was no opponent to challenge in the field of basketball, because he was the strongest benchmark. In addition, he also wanted to fulfill his father's last wish and turned to join the baseball team, which was also domineering enough to retire.
