The NBA has strict rules on the number of players' jerseys! Without the permission of the league, players can't change their jersey numbers without permission. Of course, the rules are set at the top to be challenged!

As we all know, the 23rd is Jordan's symbol, but before playing basketball, Jordan's favorite sport is playing baseball, and the jersey number is 45! Therefore, number 45 has a special meaning in Jordan's mind!

In high school, Jordan started playing basketball, practiced hard for a year, and finally made it to the school team in the second year of high school! Jordan's preferred jersey number is naturally number 45, but embarrassingly, Jordan's brother Larry Jordan has been wearing number 45 and has been playing basketball for a year. Jordan had to re-select the jersey number, so he got the No.23 jersey. Jordan thought that half of 45 was just 23.

When Jordan entered the NBA, the 23rd was Jordan's first choice, and it would last for 9 years!

On October 6th, 1993, Jordan suddenly announced his retirement at the United Center. Jordan, who was just 31 years old and won three consecutive championships, explained the reasons for his retirement simply: I have reached the top of basketball, and nothing can arouse my enthusiasm in this arena.

Although he said that he had no enthusiasm and attachment to the NBA, Jordan's red eyes obviously betrayed him. Jordan's first retirement is still a mystery. Some people say that Jordan was shot because of his father, while others think that Jordan gambled!

After retiring, Jordan returned to the baseball field and put on No.45 again! By March 1995, Jordan came back in the NBA. He didn't change back to No.23, but activated No.45, thinking it was a new beginning.

However, No.45 didn't stay with Jordan for too long. Jordan thought that No.23 would bring him good luck, so he made a bold claim and changed back to No.23, and Jordan was fined $5, by the league. At that time, $5, was definitely not a small sum.

In this regard, Jordan explained in his autobiography: "No.45 was once a part of me, but it was not in the field of professional basketball."
