4) Michael Jordan
Michael Jordan is considered one of the greatest athletes of all time. Jordan took the bold decision of announcing his retirement from Basketball at the peak of his career in 1993 to pursue a career in Baseball. However, his career in Baseball couldn’t fetch him the same prestige that Basketball did. He decided to return to the court two years later in 1995. After years of being out of the game, MJ got his groove back on the court and helped the Bulls win three more NBA titles. It was like he never left.
