Yeah thats what i heard too....sounds like a load of shit tho!!
can you imagine what charles barkley would be like after not playing bball for a few years...he must be heaps fat by now!! And i think jordan should just make up his goddam mind about what hes gonna do!

here's the scoop.....

the media has been toyin' w/ this for several months - they're both coming bak - they're not coming bak - just MJ is coming bak......when all along the only thing they (MJ and barkley) ever said was that they were just workin out. right now they're both playin in the summer league and apparently MJ looks like he is in mid-season form, the drop step, the fade-away...all that shit. barley on the hand just returned from surgery and reportedly looked like a "half-drowned walrus" ...lol.

i guess they're return depends on how the're summer workouts go, but right now they both intend to return. MJ says he'll reach a decision by mid-september.

hpoe that helps .........peace

Jordan was doing really well till a couple of weeks ago. Ron Artest (stupid idiot) wrapped jordan up during a pickup game and broke his ribs. So Jordan had to rest for a couple of weeks. That is a lot of valuble time missed. I hope he comes back, the NBA is just not the same without him, not exciting at all...

Hmmm ... well ... there's a rumor that says if Vince Carter goes to Washington , then Jordan will play again in NBA ... hmmm ... rumor only ...

Why would Carter going to Washington influence Jordans decision??

i'm sure the possibility of carter playin for the wizards is in the bak of MJ's mind, but seriously doubt the fact that carter might b there will swing his decision 1 way or the other.

we know MJ luvs to win - no dominate - but he also luvs challenges, and he plays ball for himself and that satisfaction that comes w/ leavin everyone in the arena w/ their jaw on the floor

with michael king lightin up the summer league, # 1 pick kwame brown, and the much needed big-man brendan haywood things r lookin up. and u know how MJ makes everyone around him better and demands nothin but the best from everone that is lucky enuff to play w/ him.

vinsannity going to D.C. would just b icing on the cake.........

just my thoughts

Jordan should come back either on of them shouldnt come back....... there time has gone ...... Jordan is a type of person who never has enough with anything....but he doesnt look the broad term aspects and say why go back and not play totally as i used to play ...it just would be bad for his image and basketball in general...

Hold ON!!!!!, just a minute, Vince Carter is NOT going to DC, cause we have him under contract until 2008, bite me DC, carter is ours. Jordan should honestly retire cause what is he gonna do, make the wizards from a awful team into a decent team about 4 games below .500. This year, the lakers will win it again and look for the raptors to kick some ass especially the awful ny knicks. To end it off, glen grunwald is a genius. Hehehehehe.

so if MJ comes back he will be playing for washington?? is that what ur saying?

Posted by kluba_702 on Aug-22-2001 12:45:

yes

MJ is part owner of the wizards

Posted by PhaseFour on Aug-22-2001 17:32:

hrm but i really hope mj doesnt come back though....all those young players like iverson and mcgrady (my fav) will take him to school really bad. He's just too old to really be effective.

o and btw...the kings are gonna win it all

Posted by cweb on Aug-23-2001 21:37:

question: as we know jordan is part owner of the wizz, so how can he play??? Is it just to me or does he have to give up his teamrights? Personally im not a fan of a jordan comeback, not to speak about barkley

Posted by ripcurl on Sep-07-2001 13:28:

there are many problems with an answer.
because jorden did say that he will do a come back but only if he finds him self in good fitness, the latest news i heared were that he will return!
