Did anybody see the Wizards VS Magic? Mike was back to his old self, scoring 32, hitting the turn around jumpers, directing and leading his team. If he started playing more than the 36 minutes a game he is averaging, he would for sure be scoring more than his average of 19 PPG. I bet he woulbe be averaging at least 28, if not in the low 30's.

How many of those points came against Grant Hill before his career was perhaps ended? The guy was not moving at all and it was VERY sad.

Michael is not even close to the same player he was and FYI Michael is playing 34.1 minutes a game this season compared to a career average of 37.8. His minutes are fine the main problem is shooting percentage is down and he has almost completly lost all ability to shoot 3 pointers. He also doesn't rebound or pass the ball very well compared to the Michael of old. Also, don't get me started on what a defensive liability Michael has turned into. I wish he would have never came back because he is tarnishing his legacy.

He's got to be careful, too. He tried playing more minutes last year and got hurt as a result. Then the Wizards took a noze dive. Don't get me wrong, i luv MJ, but he's almost 40.

I wished he would have stayed retired too. He had the perfect end of a career. The last shot of his career{which was the game winning shot} won his team their 6th championship. Something right out of a fairy tale book.

But, you have to admit, he is good for his age. I know Grant Hill isn't healthy, and that really wasn't a good matchup, but he is good for near 40.

Jordan is a Joke now IMHO.tired as Team full of Guards&don't tell me that Mighty Jordan can only land Jerry Stackhouse with all of His Clout? talk about a Cat going backwards? digging Doug Collins out of the Coaches Grave.He always gets fired where-ever He goes.the East is Weak&Corny aside from the Nets&Pacers.only the Hornets count after them the rest are Weak&don't count Sorry Celtic Fans.as for Jordan it's sad when the Shot you made was against one of your Teammates who you pushed off too go into the Sunset.Jordan thought with Him being Jordan that He could come back&do as He did before but like Magic Johnson found out in 95 the Game has changed in little as a Couple of years.alot of them Bums on the Wizards could barely get a Start in a Local Pick-Up Game let alone play in the NBA.Jordan also looks bad with Richard Hamilton Blowing up with the Pistons.don't get excited Jordan will come back too earth quickly.He can't even get enough Votes into the All-Star Game? that alone Says sit your Ass down Man.One of the Greatest of All-Time but you had your time.at 40 Karl Malone is better than Jordan IMHO.John Stockten as well IMHO.Him playing with Jerry Stackhouse shows you bad things have gotten for Him though.that is the Best He could Partner with??DAMN!!!
