Banter: Can MJ still play in NBA?

By Gus Bode

Michael Jordan was inducted into the Hall of Fame this weekend, the seeming end of his legendary career. However Jordan remained optimistic about his future, saying he is not ready to be ‘put out to pasture.’ Could Jordan still play today?

Sure, why not? He would not be the MJ of old, but he sure couldn’t be worse than other guys who have somehow stuck around the league. As long as Adam Morrison and Antoine Walker get paid millions, Jordan has a chance. But at least Morrison has that sweet moustache. Imagine if Jordan grew one of those – that would be epic.

Yeah, while we’re at it, let’s roll out Larry Bird, Doctor J, Magic Johnson and Spud Webb. Wouldn’t that be sweet? They could make a new NBA team in Seattle called the Seattle Legends. Larry Brown would be their coach before he gets tired after half a season of coaching. He would then go on to create a brand new ABA while the Seattle Legends would go 82-0 and win the NBA Championship. It would be amazing.

Yeah right. And Charles Barkley can still block a shot. Some players need to move on from the past and stop thinking that they can dust the cobwebs off and play with the youngsters.’ MJ should let bygones be bygones and leave his legacy behind in the Hall of Fame where it belongs.
