Would he be ok? Yeah, sure he'd be alright. Not nearly the player he once was though. Problem is I don't think he'd be able to stay healthy. He had knee problems with Washington and I imagine he's been spending too much time at the blackjack table with a drink and a cigar these days.

First of all, somebody said the games today has gotten too fast paced even for Jordan in his prime. Are you kidding me? The "Show Time" Lakers had fast paced offense and defense. The Bad Boys of Detroit had so many fast breaks you'd forget that they're playing defense. And the Celtic Dynasty were of the Showtime's equal. Not to mention Malone and Stockton of the 90's! It's too fast now? No, just the Suns now are comparable in speed, but not comparable in defense.
So Jordan in his prime can play against high speed teams. But Jordan now is too old. He'll be a good veteran leader for an young rookie team, or he'll be a good bench support. He won't be starting, or he shouldn't be starting. He's like Grant Hill now, just with more experience.

if micheal jordan came back he would not be a ok player. first thing is that he is really old and second he probably has not played or practiced basketball since after he retired from being on the washington team so he would not do good.

No, first of all he's a little too old (remember the Washington Wizards comeback?). and now the game is so different. He is used to playing in the more physical years of the NBA. now even the slightest contact is a foul.

one thing i agree in is that he wont be good, simply because he is old, but he wast that bad when he came back, he averaged about 22 points a game, that a lot for the age he was, but what he would do is teach the younger players how to take advantage of other players weaknesses and teach them how to stay cool in clutch situations.

OK in terms of division 2 college ball, poor in terms of the NBA.

hmmm thats a good question, i think that he would be ok though, but there are many set backs. he is still a good player and always will be but his age had got to him and them game he used to play had changed alot. i think that if he did come back he would score a few baskets but not stand out.

no, he is too old and though he may be in shape "in shape" is different for a 20 year old than it is to him. Plus even in the short time hes been out the game has changed so he would probably have to change his game.

He'd be an AVERAGE player, and he definetely wouldn't be able to start...he'd be something like Alonzo Mourning or one of those guys.
He's still the best to ever play the game though.

no he is just to old. He wasn't that good when he came back w/ the wizards so he would be even worse now.!!
