NBA 2002~2003 regular season was finished. That means basketball “emperor” Michael Jordan, 40 years old, will retire from Washington Wizards. A lot of his fans are reluctant to face this day’s coming, but they also realize that it’s the some time or later.

The 40-year-old basketball great ended his career with the Washington Wizards after leading the Chicago Bulls to six titles while becoming the league's third-highest career scorer and perhaps the most celebrated figure in all sports.

In case people consider he will be back to the court again, he used newspapers advertisement to announce that “It’s definitely over.” He wrote a letter to “Basketball.” Here are some of his words, “Dear Basketball, It's been 28 years since I saw you in the back of our garage. 28 years since our parents introduced us.” “In some respects, you've become my life,” he wrote. “My passion. My motivation. My inspiration.” Jordan recalled the time he was left off the high school varsity in North Carolina: “I was crushed. I was hurt. I think I even cried.” “You found me in the corner and we danced,” he wrote. Finally, he went on to thank fans, five coaches by name and 10 NBA teams he played against for ``teaching me the game behind, beneath within, above and around the game.'' The letter was signed: ``Much Love and Respect, Michael Jordan.''

MJ has been my icon for a long time, and I think his spirits inspires me a lot. He is not only my basketball coach, but also my mentor of life.

“I love you, Michael!”
