1. MJ was the 1st & only 40 year old to score 40 & over in the NBA, he kept up a 20+ ppg average, still was hitting clutch shots, surpassed Kareem in all-star game total points, & he started as an all-star.
2. Big George became the oldest heavyweight champion at age 45.
3. The Executioner reached is record holding 20 titles defenses of the middleweight title at age 40 & at age 41 he moved up in weight & became the light-heavyweight champion by defeating the well respected Antonio Tarver.
I'm going to save my opion on this one. Which one of them guys are you more impressed with?

1. George Foreman...Heavyweight Champ of the World after a 10 plus year retirement....seriously!
2. Barry Bonds( Steroids or Not)
3. The Executioner..Boxing is hard enough but to be whipping kids half his age and still hold a title belt is crazy.
4. MJ....Yeah yeah, Mike is and will always be the greatest to have ever laced them up, but the Wizards stunk, and averaging over 20 points a game after 40 has been done before..ie Kareem Abdul Jabar.

The most impressive display of talent at age 40+ was Hopkins. The most impressive display of accomplishment at age 40+ was Foreman. Jordan had proved what he had too in his first career. His stint with the Washington Wizards is just like a curtain call.
