A decade after he left the league, and Corey Brewer Purple Jersey fifteen years after he won his last Championship, Michael Jordan is still the undisputed ruler of the NBA. While other stars such as Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Bill Russell, and Wilt Chamberlin seem to have taken their place in NBA history, Jordan's legacy seems to permeate the present. And with his fiftieth birthday just a few days ago, there is increasing speculation over whether or not Air Jordan could make a comeback.
Jordan himself started the speculation of a comeback at age 50 with his Hall of Fame Speech in 2009. At the end of that unforgettable speech, Jordan stated, €One day you might http://www.authenticrocketsshop.com/authentic-12-dwight-howard-jers... look up and see me playing the game at 50... Never say never. Because limits, like fears, are often just as illusion.€ Four years after that speech, Jordan's fiftieth birthday coincided with the NBA All-Star Game.
There has also been news of Jordan working out in order to drop weight to return to his playing weight, 218 lbs. He is currently the owner of the Charlotte Bobcats franchise, one of the worst in the NBA over the current and previous year. Jordan has been visibly frustrated at the poor play of his team, and even won a game Dwyane Wade Youth Jersey of one-on-one over rookie Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, the second pick overall in the 2012 NBA Draft.
But could MJ really make a return and compete in today's NBA? No one is doubting his skills, his shot, and his will to win every game, every night. But he already made one post-Bulls comeback, playing for the Washington Wizards during the 2001-2002 and 2002-2003 seasons. Over those seasons, he averaged around 21 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 assists per night, a very efficient line. But he was a far cry away from his days in Chicago, averaging nearly 30 points a night.
The main concern for Jordan now, if he decides to make a comeback, will be his health. We remember him sitting on the sidelines at the end of games with ice on his knees, and his lack of speed up and down the court. There is probably no doubt he could still make 45-50% of his shots, play 20-25 minutes per night, and contribute to a team, but for how long? Would he have to take certain games off, especially on back-to-backs? Getting back down to his playing weight would be a good start in allaying some of these concerns.
He would also have to divest http://www.officialheatprostore.com/authentic-41-glen-rice-jersey.html himself of ownership of the Bobcats. Would he be willing to do this? Many in the Charlotte area may actually hope this happens, especially after last year's 7-59 record, the worst in NBA history. But if Jordan can not make a comeback to the playing court, would he be interested in the hard work and study necessary to put together a championship-winning team from the front office? He had a difficult time of this in the Wizards organization.
