For a Game in 1990 He Wore

It is commonly known that he temporarily wears the number 45 shirt after returning from baseball (this is because he has retired from the number 23). Michael Jordan's remarkable performance has made his shirt number, 23 so iconic that other sports stars chose that number because of him. LeBron James said he wears the number 23 for "the great Michael Jordan," whom James viewed as his basketball hero when he was a kid.

However, this is not the only shirt number he has worn during his professional career, as in a match in 1990 he was forced to wear the unnamed number 12 shirt. This was a road game against the Orlando Magic, and before the game, someone entered the dressing room and stole his number 23 jersey. Turns out, that Jordan played better when he got mad when he dropped 49 points in that game, but Magic would win.

Jordan has come to the end of a seven-year run where he has racked up seven goalscoring titles and three championships, but there are signs that Jordan is growing weary of his immense popularity and all its complications not basketball in his life.
