With so much money invested in NBA players, it should come as no surprise that many of them have specific clauses in their contracts that prohibit certain activities. However, Michael Jordan had one specific clause in his own contract, one which could actually be considered a risk to his professional basketball career.

While you'd expect that the Chicago Bulls organization would specifically ensure that Jordan would not be injured physically, there was one activity 'His Airness' would never stop doing: basketball. In fact, MJ had a "Love of the Game" clause in his contract that would allow him to play pickup basketball. Here he stopped by Elmhurst College in 1993 to play a pickup game.
