Michael Jordan Makes An Appearance At The Bulls Practice
Chicago - Chicago Bulls GM, Michael Jordan came into the Bulls practice to workout with the team and answer young Bulls player, Corey Benjamin's ill-advised challenge to which Benjamin was heard saying to veteran player Randy Brown that he could beat Jordan one on one, eventually word got back to Jordan which prompted him to come down and teach Benjamin a lesson. After workouts were over and Jordan finished humbling Benjamin in a one on one game, Jordan answered questions from members of the press that were there. When asked how he felt while playing and how much game he still had left Jordan chuckled and said "None. I'm playing half court and I'm wore out, the good thing about it is Benjamin is more wore out than I am." Following that a reporter asked if there was any chance, alluding to Jordan making another comeback and Jordan responded "None at all, today was just to break a sweat and see some of the guys to try and help ease some of the morale a bit, Rodney asked if I could stop by sooner or later, I just got back in town and I decided I'd stop by, please don't take it as anything else than that. I play pickup games sometimes in the neighborhoods, no one takes anything from that. I never said I was going to stop playing, I still love the game of basketball without a doubt, it's still fun for me. I had my great reign in basketball, no matter what you guys say, if I come hang around the game cuz I still love the game that doesn't mean I'm coming back to the game." Afterwards a reporter asked if he expects the team to make the playoffs, to which Jordan responded by saying, "This is a transitional period for [the Bulls] and I think anything can happen but right now the morale is down, there hasn't been too much positive things happening out there for them, when that happens negative thoughts start to creep in and they become stagnant out there, so somehow they have to get a win and get the feeling of what winning is all about, they already know what losing is all about and they don't like it so hopefully they take that attitude that losing is something that they can't accept, then they can use it to come to practice to work harder and get back on the basketball court and play it out, but you gotta give the effort, if you're not giving the effort then you're not getting the results." Perhaps Jordan is telling the truth that he isn't planning on making a comeback, or maybe he isn't willing to admit that he's still got the itch, but with Krause gone and a coach on the team that he has likened to Phil Jackson in prior interviews, with the chance to get that elusive 7th championship that he was willing to play another season for if those checkmarks had been met, then maybe a Jordan comeback might be coming sooner rather than later.
