Clyde Drexler, Dennis Rodman, and His Airness -- Another Comeback?

Recently, it has been reported that both Clyde Drexler and Dennis Rodman have been seen working out with the heat, both thinking about possibly coming back to the NBA. Also, speculation has it that Michael Jordan may be planning on joining Shaq and the Miami Heat. Will Mj get another championship ring?

Rodman, who is now 43, has been working out with the Denver Nuggets. He played in a pick-up game with them, but the game had to be cut short because Rodman had an ingrown toenail. The general manager of the Nuggets told Rodman he was welcome to return and practice at the Nuggets' facility once his injury has healed. Rodman's team described the workout as "informal." Rodman has not played any professional basketball since the 99-00 season where he had a short stint with the Dallas Mavericks.

Clyde Drexler, now 42, has also expressed interest in playing for the Denver Nuggets. According to recent news reports, Drexler said he could easily be talked into playing "about 10 minutes off the bench" as a backup shooting guard for the heat. Silly as it sounds, it might not be impossible. Barry Bonds is 40. Randy Johnson is 41. True, baseball is a completely different game than basketball, but I believe it can be done. Clyde may not be able to 'glide' like he used to in his prime, but he is probably a hell of a lot more intelligent basketball-wise than some of these young kids. Michael Jordan proved that intelligence alone can still make you a formidable basketball player.

Last week, rumors were flying around about Michael Jordan making yet another comeback. Apparently, he had been playing basketball like a "madman." Yesterday he denied that he was going to come back. He says he is staying retired. I think it's a good choice on his part. If he had come back, it might have tarnished his legacy, and playing with the Heat, behind Shaq, would almost definitely gurantee that he would lose his all time points-per-game leader title. Still, had he come back, which I believe he yet still may, he could still be a hell of a basketball player. Think about it. Shaq and Mj on the same team? Ungodly. We can only speculate. Just remember, he denied that he was going to come back for a long time just a few years ago when he actually did make a comeback.

Honestly, no matter what he does if he comes back or not will not tarnish his legacy one bit. I'm actually surprised you would even say that MJ..

This rumor was supposidly put to rest last week, and apparently most of the conversations that were said to have taken place were completely made up to form this story.. I wouldn't mind seeing Jordan back, but if I had to bet, I would bet he isn't.

Oh, trust me, there's nothing that you can do in my eyes to make Mj any less of a man. If he came back and didn't score a damn point it wouldn't matter to me. The only concern I have with him coming back is what other people will think of him. Right now, the majority of the people believe he is the greatest player to ever play the game. What if he lost his scoring title to Wilt? What if he came back and averaged 10 points a game? Would people still think the same? I'm afraid that his name won't inspire the same aww in kids 5 years from now as it did in me.

MJ is and always will be the man. Do i think he should come back? No. Not because of fans or critics. Hard to explain...but its like Roger Marris. He went out in style and in class. He didnt need to come back. Same with MJ. He is the man period. There is no need.

Now Dennis Rodman is a different story. I couldnt care less what he does.

He's already tarnished, I don't think much of him after the wizards or whatever team that was he was on..

That's because you know nothing about basketball. Hooray4Grav!

Anyway, MJ should definetely not come back. I remember when he played his last game at Conseco Fieldhouse(Pacer's court), everyone gave him a standing ovation; as well as other NBA arenas. People might boo him if he came back, you can only play good for so long. MJ is way passed his prime and I would like to remember him as he was on the Bulls, not for some rinky dink team where he plays for 5 mins. Yeah, it'd be cool but give it up, man. You were good. You made millions. You inspired people everywhere. You did your job. No need to risk ruining it by coming back.

By the way, I highly doubt all of those rumors had one bit of truth.

I can't even spell basketball.

Grav on Mj...

Nothing more needs to be said.

Are the wizards even a team?

Why no posts about Clyde Drexler, guess he just isn't as popular. But anyway MJ has tarnished his lecagy a little bit, with the wizards. The Worm, could make for higher NBA ratings. I would personally like to see Clyde however.

Clyde wasn't on the same caliber as MJ, and if MJ had a tough come around during his last endevour, what makes you think Drexler would even stand a half chance? That's probably why no one is bringing him up. All Rodman ever did was block the occassional shot and get boards. How hard is that to do again? Not nearly as hard as the other two's feat..

I Dont Know Where You Got That From. That Will Never Happen.

Everytime you type in all caps god kills a kitten.

Rodman isn't that good a basketball player. He was a role player and he did his job well. His talents would be an accet to the Heat, but the Heat won't touch him. He is more trouble than its worth.

Rodman wasn't that good?

Defensive Player of the Year (1990, '91); All-NBA Third Team (1992, '95); All-Defensive First Team (1989, '90, '91, '92, '93, '95, '96); Two-time NBA All-Star (1990, '92).

Bull shit. Saying Dennis Rodman wasn't that good is like saying that Ben Wallace isn't that good, except this guy was better than Ben Wallace. This guy could be quite a player if he works hard.
