Yeah, I meant to quote the Jordan post you made.

In that case, yes 1996 he signed for $33 million for 1 year and in 1997 he signed for $30 million for 1 year. Both are the richest single year contracts in American sports history. No one has made that much in a single season, let alone two seasons. The Bulls did that because Jordan was rumored to be going to New York.

Bron Bron should return just for causing the Cavs to trade Andrew Wiggins for next to nothing.

Imo, the Bulls got a steal.

Didn't even talk to another team. But yeah, there was totally a chance of him signing elsewhere.
