I think I should have played the last two games Go see him" Jackson pointed to the office of Lamont who was still waiting for Thomas Or Robin Ventura Or any warm body capable of solving this Toronto staff which is performing better than advertised Juan 3-- THE ASSOCIATED PRESS DEERFIELD Ill — There were no tears just that trademark twinkle in his eyes There were no nerves just a bemused grin wide enough to take in the whole mad scene of a basketball court overflowing with several dozen TV cameras and several hundred people Striding in purposefully the tall man in the tan suit pulled out a chair for his wife then sat down in front of the same logo he made recognizable the world over Behind him teammates look on sporting sunglasses and shaved heads shuffling their feet Above two assistant coaches leaned out of a second-floo- r office window to marvel at him one last time Smiling Michael Jordan leaned over a microphone and told the world Wednesday that since he had done just about everything there is to do in basketball he was retiring Though maybe not forev er "I've reached the pinnacle of my career" Jordan said in an that sheelred fans and teammates alike "I just feel that I don't have anything else for myself to prove" At a news conference packed with hundreds of reporters at the Bulls' training center Jordan said he'd lost the motivation to play and had thought about retiring after leading the Bulls to their third straight NBA championship in June The superstar said the slaying of his father this summer was not the main reason behind his decision "I was pretty much decided at that particular time but what it made me realize was how short life is" he said "The biggest positive thing I can take out of my father not being here today is that he saw my last basketball game That meant a lot" Jordan said He still loves basketball and did not rule out a comeback but said he'd never play for an NBA team other than the Bulls "I'm not making this a 'never' issue I'm saying I don't have the drive right now" Jordan said MVP The NBA's three-tim- e won seven scoring titles led the Bulls to three straight championships and has two Olympic gold medals Magic Johnson predicted Jordan "probably will come back in one year to show everyone he's still the king" It's Hard to Feel Much Sorrow for Belligerent Jordan What did I expect or any of us from Michael Jordan? A little humility for sure Not so much belligerence What we really hoped was that Jordan wasn't going at all that sometime between the first inconceivable hint to the scheduled confirmation Jordan would reconsider This was the last we were going to see of this man who has meant so much to us for so long and he couldn't even tell us why he was leaving He's out of challenges Jordan said And the problem is not in believing him but in not feeling sorry for him Jordan is still too young and too gifted to have nothing more to do He's leaving because he doesn't want to get shoved out he said which shows a schoolyard pugnacity he should be above Jordan provides himself with a motive to stay while he swears he has none His reasons seem too selfish to share If he were tired or overwhelmed by fame or sobered by the death of this father — and all of this could be true — there would be more sympathy for him forfeiting a very great gift prematurely It is not only arrogance for a man to leave on top but bad form as well like a big winner leaving the table early Jordan said he wanted to stop being so selfish and this is the most selfish thing he has ever done It is not impossible to be a father and a husband and a friend as well as a great athlete It is more selfish for Jordan to remove his enormous talent from his teammates and his sport and his community Quitting is an overadjustment He made Chicago feel good about itself in a way no other one individual ever has Jordan suggested he had changed the image of Chicago from gangsters to a city of champions Maybe he's right Only one goofy reporter tried to open Al Capone's vault while several hundred dropped by to help close Jordan's career All that was missing was the sense that his being here meant as much to Jordan as it did to us — Bernie Lincicome Chicago Tribune ld NBA Stockton likes the idea "When you play in this league you want to play against the best" he explained "But if he doesn't return then I'll continue to wish him well and hopes he enjoys being retired" Jazz coach Jerry Sloan says the Bulls' third straight title and the death of Jordan's father had to be a factor in the timing of the retirement but not surprised shocked" Sloan said " What more can he accomplish? I guess that's the biggest question he had to ask himself" When it's suggested that Jordan's retirement will hurt the Bulls and give more teams a chance to win a championship Sloan shakes his head "That would be selfish" he said "Everybody wants to see the league do well and he's had a major impact on the enormity of the We'll miss him" whole thing Stewares Playoff Poise Pays Off for Blue Jays Continued From C4 113 isommomona ready the best ever to an even better 0 with a 199 ERA and sent the series back to the Sky Dome for Game 3 Friday night Pat Hentgen (19-9- ) will start for Toronto against Wilson Alvarez (15- 7-- 8) "To be honest I've just been real fortunate That's the only explanation I can give for my success" Stewart said "And I'm just going to ride it as long as I can" By the end of day the Comiskey Park crowd of 46101 could take little consolation knowing the White Sox had the best road record in the league this season Stewart left after escaping in the sixth Al

the 'White Sox get to see Pat Ifentgen who's more won times than either of his predecessors Thomas' reappearance at his regular position would solve another problem — fielding Dan Pasqua an emergency replacement there botched the first throw his way Wednesday Naturally the Blue Jays pounced on the miscalculation for a run Pas lua punctuated his grim afternoon in the sixth whet siith bases loaded and none out he lifted a fly center field The fans warming up ball to for Lamont later were in good throat at this dress rehearsal Stewart calmly closed out the rally such as it was Warren Newson after stretching the count to 0 did the honors with a bouncer to Stewart If Newson had been available in the ninth Lamont said he would have used him for Cora Craig Grebeck another fiesty mighty mite was also gone having relieved Pasqua of his misery in the eighth You can't win these pressurized encounters until you tie them although either Bo or George Bell could have done the latter with one swing Ah but it's a long series and the White Sox have all that great pitching Thn again unless the White Sox catch it and hit it better they can fold up those golden arms Now kids Wilson Alvarez and Jason Bere must do there what beaten aces Jack McDowell and Alex Fernandez couldn't accomplish here "Evidently" Lamont noticed "Toronto's game plan is working" Evidently Bob Verdi is a sports

has given us 20 years worth of excitement and entertainment in nine Every game there was so much pressure on him But every game he gave everything he had Nobody ever walked away disappointed when they watched Michael Jordan play basketball" Layden figures weariness must have been the key behind Jordan's retirement "He's got to be worn out mentally and physically" Layden said "I always wondered how he did it On the court Off the court This summer the death of his father All I can say is God bless him I hope he goes out and shoots scratch golf the rest of his life" Jazz John Stockton was Jordan's Dream Teammate during the 1992 Olympics at Barcelona Initially he was surprised by Jordan's retirement because "I know how much competing means to him and the NBA is the best avenue in the world to compete But the rest isn't a shock" Stockton calls Jordan the best player in history "Statistically you can't argue" he said "When you look at the numbers he can't be touched by anyone Then you go to
