"I'm Back!"

Sam Smith looked back at Michael Jordan's legendary announcement and return in this piece from 2015.

It was one of those times when you remember where you were when you heard.

Michael Jordan was returning to the NBA and the Chicago Bulls.

It was 20 years ago, March 18, a Saturday then when Jordan through his agent, David Falk, issued the most famous two-word press release in sports history.

"I'm back!" it read.

The Bulls Wednesday in an appropriate symmetry play the Indiana Pacers, against whom a day later Jordan began his comeback that would lead to three more consecutive NBA championships for the Bulls and would assure Jordan's informal place as the greatest player in NBA history.
