But there\u2019s a stint that has collected some dust by now.<\/p>\n<p> After a glorious NBA career, a retired Jordan traded the hardwood for a professional baseball field in 1994. But <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yardbarker.com\/nba\/players\/scottie_pippen\/126284\" class=\"yard_link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Scottie Pippen<\/a>\u00a0just had to dim his own \u201cgreat defender\u201d title. He brought in Jordan for a charity game in September 1994. <\/p>\n<p> It was mainly to sell tickets, and MJ joined to help Pippen out. However, there was a tweak. The 31-year-old had to play against the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yardbarker.com\/nba\/teams\/chicago_bulls\/68\" class=\"yard_link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Chicago Bulls<\/a>, and also an All-Star team that Pippen stacked against him. But, only to fail. <\/p>\n<p>At one point, the game turned into a 1v1 between Pippen and MJ. And even with a body trained for Baseball, the NBA icon racked up 52 points, shooting 24-of-46 from the field. Ultimately, Pippen\u2019s Red Team went home with a 187-150 loss.<\/p>\n<p>This event recorded a sold-out audience of 18,671\u00a0attendees. And it also raised over\u00a0$150,000\u00a0for underprivileged children in Chicago.\u00a0After the game, MJ knelt and kissed the Bulls\u2019 logo in the arena as a tribute.<\/p>\n<p>This was yet another milestone that highlighted MJ\u2019s already overpowering impact on the sport. And looking back at it, John Starks could recall some of his own experience of the day.<\/p>\n<p>John Starks Recalled Some Event Highlights<\/p>\n<p>The former New York Knicks star played against Jordan multiple times. But that day, he shared the floor with MJ, wearing the same jersey. And when he ran the day through his own lens, Starks felt grateful to be on MJ\u2019s team.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m on Michael\u2019s team, which I was thankful for that, I\u2019m playing on his team,\u201d\u00a0he said via SportsBioCorner. \u201cAnd Scottie called himself stacking the team against him. He said before he went out \u2018Just give me the ball and move out the way.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe lit Scottie up for like 55, 60 points\u201d, Starks added. \u201cHe\u2019s been playing baseball, he stepped out on the court, and he told Scottie, \u2018Don\u2019t you ever stack the team against me again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There was no flipping the table on Michael Jordan, and that day, Scottie Pippen learned this the hard way. Do you think he felt grateful afterwards to be on the same team as MJ in his career?
