107: I will prove he is not worth it (Requesting monthly pass!)_3

So don't talk about "one man, one city"; even Jordan had times when he forced the team's hand.

And so, the unprecedented 30 million annual salary was born.

After signing this contract, Bulls' owner Reinsdorf openly admitted, "There will come a day in the future when I know I'll regret this."

This statement also marked the beginning of the rift between Jordan and the Bulls.

Some people say that Jordan never intended to go to New York, that he was merely using New York to jack up his price.

Others say that Jordan was set on leaving, but he didn't expect Chicago to actually offer 30 million.

Regardless of which version is true, one fact remains clear: Without the Knicks stirring up the market, without Jordan's fourth championship, there would definitely not have been this astounding 30 million annual salary.
