10/30/2011 = 10/30/2001
Something In The Air March 14, 2001 Is Michael Jordan planning another return to the NBA? Sports Illustrated's Rick Reilly is reporting in his column this week that Jordan and friend Charles Barkley have been working out six hours a day in preparation to resume their playing careers. A source only identified as being "very close to Jordan" says that the icon is "90 percent committed" to making a comeback next season with the Washington Wizards. Jordan, 38, told the Washington Post that a comeback "has not crossed my mind, but I will never say never." "I think that there is less than one-tenth of 1 percent of a chance that Michael will play again in the NBA," said David Falk, Jordan's agent, to The Boston Globe. "When you hit the last shot in the last second of his last game for a three-peat, how do you top that?" Season begins Oct. 30th.  From ESPN: Peter May: Say It Ain't So....

Re: 10/30/2011 = 10/30/2001
Normally I like bigger headlines, but I would agree with you for this one. This story was basically a blurb in most papers, since no one really believed it was true at this point. I did forget I'm stuck with the title here. Oh well, not a huge deal. This thread will just be the true story leading up to the beginning 01-02. Once I start the replaying that season, I'll start a new one. Last edited by dyedbuthair; 09-17-2011 at 05:25 PM. |

Re: 10/30/2011 = 10/30/2001
In honor of the 10th anniversary........
 Jordan's Final Comeback -- Rewritten Team : Washington Wizards (while controlling all CPU teams as well) Season Length : 82 Games Difficulty : Superstar Played Quarter Length : 12 Minutes Sim Quarter Length : 12 Minutes Playoff Length : 5-7-7-7 Game: NBA Live... 2000! (PC) My goals are a little different than most dynasties. I'm trying to recreate the 2001-02 season in a very realistic simulation, in as much detail as possible. I've made a DBF of the league schedule for that year. I'm going to try to recreate all the injuries to players, to a point. I've got a list of all the teams' 01-02 transactions. I'll be moving players on and off the injured list before the corresponding games that those moves were made in real life. I'm also making a list of all the starting lineups that each team used that season, and will be adjusting those every game as well. My aim isn't to have Jordan average over 30 points a game and shoot over 50 percent from the field again - although if he does that the way I'll be playing, I probably won't mind too much. I'm hoping to have stats a little better than the ones he had for his last go-round. If they're about the same, I'll be fine with that too. What I'd really like to improve is the team's overall performance. Hopefully at least a couple of people are fans of this era. Strange as it sounds, I'm fascinated with the final chapters of his playing career the most. I love an underdog, especially an older one who has to rely on his smarts because he doesn't have the athleticism of his competition. As a player, he didn't do too badly at all. And I've always felt the overall result could've been much, much better. |
