It is funny. I don't care if he is 45, bring him back to the NBA, maybe Rockets and we are 200% champs next year
Actually, I'd like to think that they're just trying their best...you know, like young athletes should.
i know it was versus kids, but Jordan reminded me how easy it was for him to create his own shot. Once he knew how to shoot the ball, he bettered his game to create spacing and just create on his own. Truly amazing player to watch in his prime.

i hate mj fanbois. mj has been held in check many times, and i watched him avg 30pts a game shooting 9-30 and Magic in his prime UNSTOPPABLE.
oh btw, that video was kewl though =D if i could do that at 45 ya haha i'd be talking alot of trash talk
It's amusing that people are ripping Jordan for trash talking kids. Why do you think that Simon rips singers on America Idol or Donald Trump does it on the Apprentice? It isn't just for television, it's teaching young people how to handle criticism and negativity and weeding out the weak and seeing who the tough ones, the ones with heart, are. If a 45 year old Michael Jordan trash talking you breaks you down then you're never going to make it in basketball because a lot younger guys are going to say a lot worse. And those guys are going to be better, right now, then a 45 year old Michael Jordan.
9-30?? he was a career 49.7 % fg. 9 - 30 translate into 30 %. Everyone has off nights; but consistently shooting nearly 50% is amazing. And I disagree w/ everyone saying that mj would mop the floor w/ kobe. Simply isn't true. It would be a good game w/ Jordan having the slight edge.
And remember when he was in his prime (like Kobe is now) he consistently shot WELL ABOVE 50%. Throw out those Wizard stats and his career numbers are unreal. Throw out the post baseball stats (when he had clearly lost 2 steps athletically) and his numbers are nothing short of God-like.
jordan was nothing but nba's poster boy, like wade couple years ago,e xcept jordan got it for a life time, nothing but luck, his skill was good, but certainly no where close to today's kobe
