MJ to Phil: "100% No" Jackson Thinking Ahead, But In Wrong Direction <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Michael Jordan playing for the Lakers? The thought has occurred to Phil Jackson. But it hasn't occurred to MJ, who said his answer would be no. Jackson, the Lakers coach and Jordan's former coach in Chicago, intimated in a published report that he has reluctantly considered a scenario in which Jordan would play for him if Kobe Bryant is unable to. "It has crossed my mind," Jackson told the Chicago Tribune for Tuesday's editions. "But I don't think I'd ask Michael that question until it became absolutely necessary or it became a reality.

In fact, his response -- issued through a spokeswoman -- was short, to the point and unequivocal: "100 percent no." </div> Full Story
