Michael Jordan is considered to be the greatest player in NBA history and it'll be hard to find many people disagreeing with this. 

The debate about the greatest of all time crops up so frequently with the likes of LeBron James and Kobe Bryant thrown into the mix. 

But MJ's accomplishments speak for itself and there are many who consider it ludicrous that others are compared to him. 

Jordan won six championships, five Most Valuable Player awards, six Finals MVPs, Defensive Player of the Year and was a 14-time All-Star to name a few. 

He was also a 10-time scoring champion and a member of the All-NBA First Team on 10 occasions. 

Air Jordan was part of a dominant era with the Chicago Bulls where they broke multiple records and won many titles thanks to his brilliance on the court. 

The G.O.A.T achieved all of this despite taking a two-year hiatus from basketball to take up baseball in 1993.

Jordan retired again in 1999 and claimed he was "99.9% certain" he would not make a return to the NBA. 

But once again, MJ couldn't stay away from the game and decided to make a return with the Washington Wizards after a spell as president of basketball operations with the franchise. 

Jordan said his competitive drive brought him out of his second retirement to play for the Wizards from 2001-03, but apparently, he privately admitted to another famous athlete that it may have been a mistake in terms of his legacy.

Former NFL star Ray Lewis claims that Jordan told him he regrets that decision. 

"This is the honest goddamn truth. MJ, I never forget, said this to me: 'The only thing I regret, is putting on another uniform,'" Ray Lewis said on FOX's "Speak for Yourself" on Friday.

The 54-year-old, who is now the owner of the Charlotte Hornets, averaged 21.2 points in 142 games in a Washington uniform but was a shadow of the superstar from the Chicago Bulls.

Despite his stint in the nation's capital, His Airness will always be remembered for his time with the Bulls as he became a global icon and made the sport popular across the world.

The truth is, Jordan had one of the best careers of any athlete across sports and shouldn't really have any regrets. 

There wasn't much expected of him in Washington playing at the age of 38, but it was a sign of his super competitive drive that he wanted to be out on the floor again.
