Could Michael Jordan Still Play at 50?

A 59-year-old man came within a putt of winning a major golf tournament.

But that wasn't the question. The question was whether he could play. Not whether he could be what he was 15 years ago.

98 percent of the players in the league can't average 30 points. But they can still play.

 

Turns out the Bobcats player he beat in Wright Thompson's story was Michael Kidd-Gilchrist.

Jordan, at 50, beat a 20-year-old.

 

MJ loves bullying younger guys. Ask Kwame Brown.

 

Seems like MJ loves bullying everyone.

 

All Jordan needs now is some of those Ryan Braun drugs.

 

That's him.

 

Love the line about MJ being the best player on the Bobcats.

 

Which tells you all you need to know about the Bobcats.

 

How furiously does David Stern masturbate to the idea of Jordan returning for Stern's final season?

 

What's ironic is that the conventional wisdom is that owners are suppose to stay out of the way and let the experts run the team.

 

This guy won 6 championships. I think he more than qualifies as an expert.
The things with athletics is this, after your playing career is done, you're supposed to go away. You're not supposed to be involved in the sport. That's why Jabbar has had a difficult time. Jordan has refused to go away.

 

Maybe Jordan should take a page from his old coach and give everyone on The Bobcats a copy of Grover's book:

"Grover had designed the comeback programs from basketball to baseball, from baseball to basketball and back again in Jordan's 40s. In a book to be released in April, "Relentless: From Good to Great to Unstoppable," Grover finally marches the public behind the curtain of decades of work with the likes of Jordan and Kobe Bryant, a riveting read that balances the illumination of the work of those stars and how it can apply to everyone else."
