"If I were, I'd play because I love the game. Nothing tarnishes what he's already accomplished. The past can't be changed. Who cares if people bash you on message boards, which you seem to think is relevant"
I never mentioned anything about message boards. I just said that I don't want to see him getting bashed by the media again.
Okay; I didn't realize you were so concerned about media bashing but not concerned about message board bashing of Jordan. My point was that I wouldn't let anyone dictate my own priorities. I would play simply because I loved the game even if 100% of people (be it on message boards, in the media, or anywhere else) in the world didn't like it
The thing with the message board bashing is Jordan doesn't really have to see that. With the media however, he could just turn on the TV, read a newspaper, or get called by a journalist at home and he would be constantly reminded of what he did. I'm not saying at all that he shouldn't play just because I don't want him too or the media doesn't want him too, I never said that at all. I just don't want him to be bashed if he failed with whichever team he joined. I agree with you, I wouldn't let the media or anyone else dictate what I do.
As Matt said, we have to remember that this article doesn't mean anything, he could've just been playing basketball for fun. The only reason I posed this thread was to see what everyone would think if Jordan did indeed come back.
