works.
Kemba Walker believes Jordan would score 20 points a game. Juwan Howard said Jordan is going to have a 1-game comeback this year, at age 50.

He would still school people

They could do a 1 day contract
Imagine the tv ratings :o :o :o

yeah, they could have a designed ten plays for him... let him back some players down... I'm sure the other team would play along and let Mike have his shining moment. Make the other smaller guys run the court and cover defense for him. It'd be the most coverage the Bobcats would have for the next 20 years lol. Nike would probably pay Mike a dump truck of $ to do it. NBA grabs its old fanbase again. Even with a lackluster performance, everyone wins.

What if he tears his achilles as soon as he touches the ball haha

Not too often in life when you get to own Michael Jordan. I'm a month older than him. This pic taken taken, today, Oct 7, 2013. Props to the Gal/No One diet.

This. The only reason I'd bother watching a NBA game.
You hear anyone singing this shit about Kobe or Lebron.

why is that old Dog keep chasing it's own tail?

I'm a little tired of Jordan at this point.
Comes off as a bitter guy...why is anyone's guess. Guy had a dream life.
-
So many millions and still can't find anything else to do....
-
Xmas day game nationally televised
The world stood still
:o :o :o
-
It would be cool but the problem is the other team wont play any real defense on him. Like what happened to Magic at the all star game after he told people he was HIV positive. They just let him throw it up all day...

Can you imagine how many hundreds of millions of people would tune in to see MJ return on Christmas day? Put him against the Heat or Lakers.

Have to agree. His hall of fame speech seemed extremely bitter for no reason. It's the 'Achilles' syndrome. To be soooo good at something and then have to retire while still a "young man". What do you do with that drive to succeed? Mike Tyson is another one like this. What do you do with the rest of your life after you've made all the money you'll ever need but your body can't keep you at the top tier?
Sad. Jordan was one of my heroes growing up. Saw him against Dominque in 1987 at the Omni in Atlanta. 13 years old...went with my dad.

The Xmas day games are already highly rated
Imagine Jordan vs the Heat :o :o :o
Air Jordan 1 releasing too
Jordan laces up the Air Jordan 1 banned :o :o :o
The M*A*S*H series finale rating record could be in jeopardy
:o :o :o

Are you saying the NBA should have Radar O'Reilly read the pre-game starting lineups and introduce Jordan?

Yes ;D ;D ;D
Or Ray Clay.....from North Carolina....6'6" Michael Joorrrdaaann!!!!

Ridiculous, go play golf with Tiger! Leave it the fuck alone!

Yeah right, it's just like the "Expendables" franchise. Us gen y'ers want to see the heroes of our youth, even if they are old and washed up. This is the same thing. I hate basketball, but would watch, as I did in his comeback with the Wizards in 01.
-
He should challenge Dominique Wilkins to a 1 on 1! That's more his speed!
-
I think it will be more than 1 game, I don't think he'd comeback for a one game gimmick, he knows he needs to play himself back in to any kind of shape with real game experience
-

He's 50 years old and he's looking old lately..it's not going to happen.
Jordan needs to shut the fuck up and stop shitting on the next generation. ..he sounds like a bitter old man who has no reason to be bitter.

As good as he is he is bitter and sounding a bit insecure as well

He cracks me up with his "back in my day" bullshit.
Like he played in the negroe leagues...he was a multimillionaire megastar at 23 ::)

:(

I'd love to see this. I have no doubt that he would still be able to score 20 plus. Defense is where you would see the bigger drop off.
He should totally do this and it should be against Miami.

U actually think he can score 20??
Only if that opposing team has "respect" for this old man and decide not to play defense.
Hope he does play Miami so they can wipe the floor with this him and show him the door and how ridiculous he looks

No doubt in my mind so long as he is in shape enough to play real minutes. The MJ fade away will be in full effect.

Jordan has a point, although he was a millionaire through endorsements, up until around 94 when players started getting big contracts for having proved nothing, you didn't earn a big contract unless you proved you were a bonafide allstar capable of leading your team, now players get huge contracts on potential.
And you are dead wrong on the other count, although he was a multimillionaire megastar, he honoured his contract and got stiffed by the bulls for 10 years, but never complained or asked for it to be renegotiated.And while being rich he always worked his ass off, never missed games apart from when he broke his foot, added new facets to his game year after year.Everyone who played with him, while thinking he was an asshole agreed he was the hardest working player they had ever seen.
The league was also far more physical then, the average foul back then would be borderline flagrant now, you could hand check, which isnt allowed now,throw a punch without fear of being suspended for 20 games.There are zero bigs now, no fear from perimeter players of getting hammered when driving to the basket, when back then there was mourning, Olajuwan,Ewing,Robinson ,mutombo,Barkley,Malone,Shaq,smits,eaton etc etc etc guarding the basket.It was a whole different league.

It's a bit of a myth that Jordan was criminally underpaid by the Bulls. He actually made about the same as any other All-Star caliber "best player on his team"-type player in the NBA at the time.
He was the best of the best for sure but it's not like he was making less money than Barkley or whoever.
For example here's 1993:
David Robinson $5,720,000
Michael Jordan $4,000,000
Scottie Pippen $3,425,000
Patrick Ewing $3,300,000
Hakeem Olajuwon $3,170,000
Shaquille O'Neal $3,000,000 (rookie year)
Karl Malone $2,854,000
Magic Johnson $2,500,000
Charles Barkley $2,420,000
Larry Bird $2,300,000
Isiah Thomas $2,272,000
Clyde Drexler $1,378,000
I did that by hand from basketball-reference.com, might have forgotten someone but I think I hit on most of the big names.

He's going to "fade away" alright :D

He could be still mad about his dad getting murdered on a NC highway that would effect anyone for life.

Who cares. Guy needs to shut up and have some fucking class. The league is the league... is it Lebron James fault or the NBAs fault ? Why does he constantly shit on todays players like a real dickhead ?
He's biting the hand that fed his ass big time. Be a little more gracious to the league that made you an icon
-
in all seriousness, I doubt he'd score 20 points. It's very hard for a lot of highly talented players at 25 years old to score 20 points.
He probably still has a killer jumper and arc... but getting open would be very difficult. It'd be the super bowl for every defender on every play, knowing they had that one chance to shut down a legend.
He could get a few open jumpers in garbage time against scrubs that didn't care. a game on christmas? lol... Lebron would have Jordan at 1-for-16 at halftime lol.

that's passion

Jordan scored 51 points in a 2002 NBA game at age 38 and 43 at age 40.

Who were they playing?
The supersonics?

Sorry to shut you guys down but Jordan can't come back to play. NBA rules state that you cannot be a majority owner and player at the same time. In order for Jordan to play, he would have to not only sell the time but also file a request which could take a very long time.
Its would be more trouble for him to play than its worth it and honestly...what does Jordan have left to prove anyway??? He's retired for good so deal with it.
-
Jordan ain't coming back, he is just trying to stay relevant!
-
blah blah.
I'd rather see him back in baseball. Think of the ratings

This. Guy is getting old and he don't like it very much.

If you don't think the NBA will find a loophole in their bylaws for a 1 game exhibition, you're delusional. My guess is, they would pull it off as a Xmas or Thanksgiving Day Special Game. Sponsors would jump on it, and Nike would run the whole Retro line for a week.
I doubt it will happen but it's workable without him giving up ownership.
As far as his game goes, he would probably back down shooting and points guards and foul his way to 20 pts. I'm also assuming his jumper still works well. He's good for 20 in the current league since he practices with these guys.

He stated when he bought the bobcats that if it didnt work out that great he'd sell the team within 5 or so years, my guess is he'll sell then play.

Not going to happen. The CBA says owners can't play

Could we merge this thread with "the comeback of the comeback of Levrone coming back: the comeback" thread ?
