It'll be interesting to see how he goes. I think he'll have a hard time playing McGrady.

I think that he will be playing small forward...and not having to be the defensive stopper vs the really good 2's and 3's. I could even see him filling in at the point guard position against some teams.

At this point, sprewell and houston are both better players. MJ could be a good player, but there's no way he returns to his superstar form.

I can see where it might be good for the sport, but it's not good for the players. Jordan will take the publicity away from Bryant and Carter and the NBA might not need that. I respect Jordan's efforts, but he's got to realize he's not the center of attention in the league anymore.

I see him playing point forward - as Grant Hill may do for Orlando - and trying to get his young Wiz teammates (Hamilton, Brown, Alexander, White, Smith) involved. I think that averaging 10 asts would be more important to him than averaging 30 pts. Expect him to be walking the ball upcourt and finding the open guy. With the Bulls he always had a very underrated passing/ball-handling/creating ability. However much he has aged and slowed, I'm sure he still has this ability. And if all else fails, he will post up a smaller guy and use his trusty spin-moves and fade-aways to get some points on the board. He will still have the big heart and mentally he will still be tougher and quicker than most, even if he has lost a bit in the physical aspect.
