It was a difficult sight to see for Chicago Bulls fans, but at the same time it was one of the most memorable moments in NBA history. The end of an era was officially over.
The best basketball player that anyone had ever seen on the planet played in his final NBA game of his career 12 years ago today. Michael Jordan played 28 minutes, as his Washington Wizards ended the 2002-03 season. Jordan’s illustrious career ended with 15 points in front of a sold out Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia.
It was an emotional day for the NBA, as a living legend was hanging it up one last time.
