In the days before he announced, "I'm back," mothers and fathers would bring their infants to the Berto Center in suburban Deerfield, Illinois, where the Bulls practice, just to see Jordan's red Corvette. And it wasn't just Chicago that was devoted to Michael. When the news of the return of Qiao Dan (pronounced tshoo dun) was announced over loudspeakers at an army basketball game in Beijing on March 19, players...
