Johnson, who was awarded the expansion Bobcats three years ago, then named Jordan the managing member of basketball operations."I'm thrilled to have my friend, Michael Jordan, join me in my business and sports pursuits," Johnson said in a statement. "I not only respect Michael for his basketball knowledge and expertise, but also for his business skills, particularly in branding and marketing."Michael will provide invaluable management input to a Bobcats team that is poised to deliver results for the 2006-2007 season and beyond."</div>http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=2486172

    He's 43!! Jordan already tarnished his legacy by coming back to the Wizards. Jerry Reinsdorf should offer the man a position in the Bulls front office after everything Jordan did for the Bulls and Chicago.

    I think him coming back to play for the Wizards was an example of his love for the game, not an aspiration for success he had in the past. Age catches up to everyone, even Jordan, as much of a hero as the guy was he isn't immortal. He's still the best no matter what.

    You could see the age getting to him in game 6 of the 1998 Finals. But Jerry Riensdorf is still a huge prick. I think Jordan tarnished his legacy by coming back, but it was a display of his passion, yes. If he was to make his 2nd comeback, he should've done it with the Bulls.
