Yesh. That's why he tried to play baseball when he got suspended from the NBA (bc gambling). He is a competitor to the core of his being.
Are you talking about his abrupt one year retirement? It was because his father had been brutally murdered and he was also tired of the pressure and focus on him. But his retirement only lasted one year. Magic called it- said that Jordan would miss it so much he'd be back the next season and he was.
The rumor that his one year retirement was in lieu of an outright suspension for his gambling was never substantiated or directly addressed. What supports this is that he continued gambling during his second stint and even beyond his playing career. It appears to be a lifelong issue,
