michael jordan coming out of retirement? With Charles Barkley???
- Thread starter Wah
- Start date
Even though Jordan was a guy I hated competing against with my team, the Indiana Pacers, I gained a lot of respect for him his last few years during his career. Once he developed his outside game, I had a whole slew of respect for the man who's probably the best player ever.
I'd love to see him come back and turn around a failing team. I'd think there is some rule though, against an owner also being a player.

Well let's not throw around terms like "best player ever" so easily while forgetting old school ballers. Always respect ya roots. 
Yep, Jordan's still got enough gas left in his tank to take anyone in the league. Especially Iverson, considering Iverson has no size at all.
Jordan would be pushing 39 if he decided to come back. He would get tore up by Kobe or Iverson or any young shooting guard for that matter. I doubt he's coming back...he would have to sell off his stake with the wizards, assuming he's gonna play for them.
I don't think MJ would come back if he thought Kobe, Iverson or anyone could outplay him. Its time for Jordan to teach those little boys a lesson on how to play ball.
Jordan is around 36, 37 years old. He is still the best player in the NBA even though he's not playing. Nobody playing now has the all-around game MJ does.
I got much respect for Jordan but he'll never be as good as he was. Kobe and Iverson will give him a challenge.

Jordan hasn't said he would come back. Right now, it is just pure speculation. I'm a betting man, so if anyone wants to bet that he will get tore up by Kobe or Iverson, if he comes back, I am up for it. Jordan would be a good complementary player though, perhaps for the Lakers, but I doubt he would take that role. He's not coming back. Its probably just a ploy to revive interest in the NBA, and so far, it appears to be working.

He was born Feb 17, 1963. He is 38 right now. Midway through next season, he will be 39. While he might still be capable of playing at NBA level, I doubt he will be the best all around player. Garnett is better, all around. Kobe will continue to improve. So will Iverson. So will Stevie Franchise and Mobley and Marbury and Ray Allen and all the other young guards in the league.
Oh, Jordan wouldn't last out west.

LOL!!! Kobe and Iverson will give him a challenge? The man is 38 and the best these punks can do is give him a challenge?
Would Jordan be the high-flying dunk master of the late 80's and early 90's? No. But to say he won't be the best doesn't make sense. He was, when he retired, the best. He was head and shoulders above anyone else. So what if he's lost a step compared with 4 years ago? Jordan a step slow is still better than any current NBA punk at full speed. He can still jump so he could shoot right over Iverson, just like he used to over John Starks and Gary Payton.
Kobe would just get completely abused by MJ right now. Maybe by the time MJ is 45 or so his skills will erode enough to make it fair for the current NBA punks.
And yes, nearly all of them (the best current players) are punks.

what Vince Carter?
They say he is the next Jordan.
They would be a good match up if they competited against each other.

No. I love the guy, but no. Jordan would make Carter cry like a little girl.

Anyone who says Kobe etc could be Jordon obviously hasn't seen Jordan play... He was WAY ahead of anybody in a game, if you saw a game with Jordan in it, HE was the standout, he stood out like a condom amongst STD infected people! When you watch a game nowadays, when Kobe is playing, you don't see him being the centre of attention... it's just not the same, you can't compare them. Jordan is a Legend, THE BEST player, no-one can match him. Sure, he's slower now, but he's also a heck more experienced... I saw bring on the young 'uns and watch 'em get their butts kicked!!
amen to that...
Also... Jordan was the best mind-fcuker in the game. He'll never lose that no matter how old he gets.
