Michael Jordan explained that his massive NBA fame caused a “burden” in his life and ultimately was a reason he retired from the sport in 2003. During a recent interview with CBS Mornings, Jordan looked back on his illustrious career — winning six NBA titles and achieving two separate “three-peats” — and what drove him to seek a “quieter life” outside of basketball. “When I say I wanted to retire and get to a quieter life, I wanted to get away from basketball in terms of what I represented in that arena and how big I’d gotten,” Jordan, who is considered the greatest basketball player of all time, told CBS’s Gayle King while at Phoenix Raceway.
