Became the largest and 1991 at 1998, under the guidance of Phil Jackson, became for six-time MVP, most valuable player of the finals. He paused and then resumed, also because of the tragic death of father, man instrumental in the career of Michael. When in 2009 He was honored at the Hall of Fame said from the stage to her children “I wouldn't want to be in you to bring the burden” and in a way that is peculiarly said what may be the final summary of his career “The limits like fears are often a’ illusion”. A man who taught us to put a goal and then get over it, making a gesture apparently impossible, put a free throw with his eyes closed.
