Oldheads, what was the bigger comeback in sports: Jordan's Comeback after 2 years away playing baseball, or tyson return after 3 years in jail?

[RedBull]

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.

Jordan retiring at 29 made it likely he was coming back IMO and he came back, so I guessed right, you didn’t.

Stop detailing the thread. It’s about whose return was bigger, not who wasn’t there back there or who knew what. Everything was pure guesses and speculation regardless.

jordan and its not even close

 

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

“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.

Agreed

He's asking which was the bigger event
MJ returning to MSG and lighting Starks up?
Or Tyson's first fight when he came out?

Its a decent question

 

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

The guy had won three straight with his last series being potentially the greatest basketball anybody had ever played. There was a chorus of people already calling him the greatest ever. I’m not understanding the idea he was coming back due to “unfinished business”

We also have to take into account how the world looked at turning 30 too.

From what i remember, Jordan.

im derailing the thread by questioning something you wrote? What’s wrong with you? I’m challenging something you said and you just want everyone to accept you are right.


I already did Jordan was he bigger comeback

Tyson broke the pay per view record, made 25,000,000 in 1 round and a then record gate of $93,000,000.

I was only 8 but Tyson was another being. A mythological creature. Jordan was in Space Jam.

 

[darryl]

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
.

Haha bet nobody fukked with Mike in there

Exactly

 

[Po pimp]

Jordan because everyone knew Tyson would come back after he did his bid. Jordan's comeback was a surprise, especially since he made the statement "I'm back" and literally played the next game.

Also, Jordan was 30 when he retired, not 29.

Jordan's first game back was against the Pacers in Indiana.

Yes niqqa. You’re derailing the thread by something YOU wrote, not me. I stuck to the topic.

I don’t want anyone accepting that I’m right, it’s YOU who challenged me to say that I was wrong and YOU’RE right, hence the challenge. I just gave my OPINION and YOU said I was wrong. I don’t care if “everyone” thinks I’m right at all. What kind of female gaslighting shyt are you doing?

We both agreed Jordan was the bigger comeback, all that other shyt you typed is nonsense.
