What if Jordan came back?

What if Jordan came back to the NBA today? Sounds crazy but he did come back a couple of times. Once with the Bulls and once with the Wizards.

If he came back today it would almost certainly be with the Bobcats as he owns them. This is a fun concept as I am a Bobcats fan.

Obviously he has slowed down a lot since then, but what are some realistic ratings for Jordan today?

Can anyone come up with some numbers for attributes that would be accurate? I never see this happening in real life but for the games sake, it would be a fun story line.

Also should his number be 23 or 45? haha

I'd love to do this in a Franchise, but really, wouldn't Michael be like a 65OVR or lower? Plus, he would almost definitely retire after the first season, considering you'd put him at 44 y/o (oldest game allows, retirement is automatic after that point).

Not to rain on the parade, but you can't be a player and own any part of a team, simultaneously. He'd have to sell his hand with Charlotte before he could ever play again.

I do agree Jordan would be a 60-65 OVR at this point. Dude's 48, so I wouldn't expect him to go GOAT on everybody. Sports like basketball and soccer are cruel, as far as aging is concerned. Shaq, for example, went from being the most dominant Center in the NBA to being a mediocre role player, and he's not even 40 yet.

..........on whether Jordan should come back.

Be realistic.. he would get destroyed.. I could see him maybe making some shots on offense but he'd be getting torched on defense. Remember what Kobe did to him when Jordan was a Wizard?

[youvalss]

You must have a the PC version to make it happen, becuase he now has more wrinkles on his face and his body isn't exactly what it was when he was a Wizards player.

Oh what about what he did ro kobe in there win against LA at Washingtion mike was schooling Kobe, the man was still putting up 25 to 30 points a night as a wizard, we will never see a 40 year old nba player play the way Mike did as a wizard scoring 51 one night a 45 the next, he is the oldest player to score 50 in a game and the oldest at 40 to sore 40 or more in a game,he was still better than half the players in the league, his fist year as a wizard at the allstar break when averaging 25ppg ang 6red he was a MVP canadate watch that allstar game that wass the talk. Instead of saying he could not play as as wizard at least youtube his games and you will see what i am taking about, I have watched him from Bulls to Wizards so Im speakibng on fact not fiction.
