‘Who killed Michael Jordan’s father?’: Identity of James Jordan’s murderer uncovered
In 1993, Michael Jordan lost his father, James R.
Jordan. The man who murdered him was named Daniel Green!
Michael Jordan is by far one of the most successful players in the NBA. The man won six NBA championships and a host of individual titles as well.
However, there was a possibility that all this would not happen. In 1993, shortly after winning his third championship, MJ made the decision to retire from basketball.
The reason was that Jordan couldn’t imagine playing a basketball game after his father’s death. In fact, on his return to the sport, Michael would remember his father after winning his fourth championship on Father’s Day, crying on the ground.
"I know he's watching. To my wife and kids, to my mother, brother and sister, this is for Daddy."
24 years ago today, on Fathers Day, Michael Jordan won his 4th NBA Championship & dedicated it to his late father.
