The world's greatest basketball player walked away from the game eighteen months ago. And now he takes to air once again.
Mickael Jordan was the greatest player in the basketball game, and after he retired at the top of his game he vowed, “I'm never coming back to play basketball. Not in this lifetime. Never. Unless I change my mind. ” Sometimes in February this year, Jordan did change his mind.
For the league, the timing couldn't be better. Without Jordan, ratings for the last season's playoff finals dropped 31 per cent. This season, things have only gotten worse. Despite the coming out of nice new stars like Shaquille O' Neal and Detroit's Grant Hill. The game's image has been riddled (full of something bad) with the cries of spoil sports and dissatisfaction.
For the Bulls, the question is whether Jordan is in shape. According to reports, Jordan has in recent months worked out with the same personal trainer he used during his basketball career. And even in his retirement, he occasionally dropped by practice to train with the team. But that still doesn't mean he's in game shape. In workouts last month, Jordan's shot was off, but team-mate says his intensity was there. The Bulls players all say unhesitatingly they want him back.
But to another audience, Jordan's career and comeback mean more than baskets and championships and market share. Now all across America, kids in struggling neighborhoods are his family and especially about his relationship with his father, James Jordan, who was murdered in 1993. Out here, to “be like Mike” can mean a lot more than knowing how to handle a basketball.
