Nothing can change Michael Jordan's mind about coming back and playing one more season.  Not a deep playoff run by the Wizards, and not even an NBA championship.  The itch has been scratched, and Jordan is now at ease with himself and can walk away knowing he'll never return.

"I'm not tempted to continue on and play," said Jordan. "I just think this is my time. This is the perfect time for me. This is my choice. The itch is finally scratched in that sense and I can walk away knowing that."

"All of these factors I would like to be remembered as part of my legacy, and as a guy who truly loved the game and loved to take challenges and always against the odds," Jordan said. "People said he couldn't do anything and he said he could. Or he just believed in the unknown; that no matter what, he chased it. I'm not saying everything good happened to him. Some bad things happened, but he always was able to rise above the bad things."

"I just want to be remembered in that way as a hell of a competitor that never gave up on anything."
