It turns out that yesterday Jordan ran in some full court scrimmages at Bobcats practice and it has everybody talking. Is the greatest basketball player ever getting ready for a comeback? Well sorry to burst everyones bubble, but he's not. There is no way. MJ might be a lot of things, but when it comes to basketball he is not stupid.
Don't get me wrong, I'm pretty sure 48 year old MJeff can still drop 30 in a game, he's still got the shot and he's still got the hypercompetitiveness (I think I made that word up), but the problem is to paraphrase Stacey King... 2 old, 2 slow, 2 fat. At most he would be able to play like 10 minutes a game and he would definitely break down during the season. Oh and he was slow as balls when he was on the Wizards, so if you think he is faster now, you are dead wrong. He wouldn't be able to cover anybody, Keith Bogans would probably drop at least 8 points on him a game, and if you can't hold Bogans under you shouldn't be on the court.
With all that said, I would love to see him try. He already tainted his legacy when he came back for the Wizards, and it would be awesome to see him drop 30 on the Cavs or Nets. Its just too bad he would have to play for the Bobcats, imagine him on a playoff team on the court with the time winding down, you just know Stan Van Gundy or Mike D'antoni would be shitting their pants.
