Phil may ask Jordan to come back again

[thegrahamcrackr]

ESPN news just siad that the chicago tribune is reporting that Phil Jackson is thinking of asking mike to come back to the lakers if kobe's situation becomes a distraction. It was also said he would only ask if it was completely necessary.

I am guessing that was Sam Smith. I hate Sam Smith.

I think that'd be awesome. I know a lot of people are sick of him, but I still think he's a very exciting player to watch.

Of course, that would basically guaruntee the Lakers a championship, because if Kobe plays, then they have the four hall of famers, and if he doesn't, they have four hall-of-famers.. So in that way, it would kinda suck.

I don't know about this. I personally think that MJ should just let it rest... And MJ as a Laker? Just too weird for me

Jordan says '100% No' to Lakers

Hawaii -- Phil Jackson can forget about luring Michael Jordan back to the basketball court as a member of the Los Angeles Lakers.

Jackson, who coached the Jordan-led Chicago Bulls to six championships during the 1990s, told the Chicago Tribune that if it became "absolutely necessary" he might ask the five-time Most Valuable Player to fill-in should Kobe Bryant be unable to play because of legal problems.

Jordan, through a spokeswoman, said he isn't the least bit interested in coming out of retirement.

"One-hundred percent no," Jordan said in a statement.

Bryant, who helped the Lakers to three straight National Basketball Association titles from 2000-02, is scheduled to appear in an Eagle, Colorado court on Thursday for a preliminary hearing to determine whether he will stand trial on charges of raping a 19-year-old woman.

A trial might take place during the NBA season, which the Lakers open Oct. 28 at home against the Dallas Mavericks.

Bryant admitted to having sex with the woman but said it was consensual.

Jordan, 40, retired after playing last season with the Washington Wizards, who missed the playoffs for the second consecutive season. Team owner Abe Pollin fired Jordan, who wanted to return to his former job as the franchise's president of basketball operations.

Sam Smith is probably the worst journalist in sports. The trade ideas he comes up with are absolutely ridiculous and baseless. He makes Peter Vescey look like Tom Brokaw. He should work for the National Enquirer.

Thank God. Jordan playing basketball is neither compelling or exciting anymore. He's not even fun to watch. The thought of him and Jackson on the same bench again is sickening.

The last thing I want to see is a lineup of kobe, jordan, shaq, payton, and malone.

Yes thats 3 guards, but with shaq and malone you'd have enough inside prescense anyways. Plus, having d-man payton there as well as jordan and kobe would be one hell of a lineup even if jordan is ancient.

That said, it will not happen because of the above posts, but could you imagine how good that lineup could potentially be. Hell that would beat our world championship team that just won a couple months ago. (well maybe)

I'm still soaking in the additions of malone and payton, and trying to guage how much that hurts the suns chances this year.
