Could Jordan return at 50?

As he accepted his induction into the hall of fame, Jordan joked he may yet return to the court at the ripe old age of 50...

ESPN have a story covering this, and Australia's very own cliff Young gets a mention!

"Mock common sense at your peril, Mr. Jordan. A 50-year-old man? In the NBA? Wilt Chamberlain said he could do it. But he didn't. Surely we can all agree that this is athletically unreasonable."

I really cannot see Jordan back at the age of 50 despite what the article suggests.

the people that laughed when he mentioned it in his speech, just gave him enough motivation to do it!

Nah, he could barely jump in his last comeback with the Wizards and he was only 38-40 then (did become the only 40yo in NBA history to have a 40 point game mind you). That was six years ago now and no way could he make a comeback in four years time. Just booze & ego talking.

Interesting article, what was more interesting though was the article on Cliff Young they linked to http://linky.com.au/5tgd2.

I knew Cliff was an ultramarathon runner but never really knew the full story, this article almost brought a tear to the eye!
