If OP’s question was about most successful comeback than obviously you’re correct.
If OP is asking which was the bigger story, that’s a damn good question.
That's what I'm saying. I really can't call it

Tyson. Nobody believed Jordan was really finished. Tyson was so popular the Simpson turned him into a character just to imagine how he was running prison

Damn good question. When Scottie pointed at the shoe NBA fans went crazy. We all knew Tyson was gonna fight when he came back, zenith Jordan it seemed like a toss up but when Pippen did that it was like “aww shyt”
We knew Jordan was eventually coming back somehow someway.

Jordan’s left a bigger void than Tyson. However, I think Tyson’s return was bigger because his boxing return is an event, as opposed to Jordan being seen playing daily after his return.
Jordan’s meant more than Tyson because he and basketball are global. But Tyson’s was an epic MOMENT because of the uncertainty of his perhaps eroded skills, and how long would he take to KO McNeely.

“We knew Jordan would come back,” sounds like people who weren’t there. We didn’t know Jordan was coming back until he did. There was hope, but nothing was likely until January 1995.
He was the bigger story as he was the bigger star.

Im sure if Jordan went to jail Simpsons would do a montage of him schooling nikkas in bball on the yard
I remember watching WGN or Sportschannel, that night when they had the camera on Pippen on the bench and he pointed to his show, pleading for the GOAT to come back
Tyson's return was epic, too, but nothing was topping MJ's return.
MJ coming back when he did also helped shape his story. Maybe getting eliminated by Orlando gave him extra motivation. Matter of fact, ain't no maybe about it

He enjoyed playing baseball and spent an entire year on a charter bus.
You may have wanted him to come back, but it wasn’t likely at all.
Tyson boxing again was more likely than Jordan. I think Tyson was 28 or 29 when he was released.
Jordan retired at 29.

What’s crazy is Jordan returned to the nba March 18, Tyson released from jail I believe March 25th or 28th
Both were huge stories. Jordan was the biggest star athlete on the planet , his comeback was more successful
Jordan retirement and return was on nightly news tom brokaw & Dan rather were reporting on it
