Don't erase the perfect finish by giving us a glimpse of what age has done to your unrivaled talents. He got out when the gettin' was good. The league hasn't been the same without him. But even he can't save it this time. As awesome as it would be to see the old Michael Jordan putting Allen Iverson, Kobe Bryant and Vince Carter in their respective places, all we'd really see is an old Michael Jordan.
Nobody really wants to witness that.
So, despite repeatedly disavowing any notions of a return to the basketball court, Jordan continues to leave the back door ajar. The speculation grows every day with testimonials from Jordan's many associates. Charles Barkley started the rumor mill with a claim that he and MJ would return together to conjure up a little magic with the Wizards. I believe something else is stirring His Airness - Tiger Woods. You see, Woods has firmly supplanted MJ as the world's premier sports celebrity.
