LOS ANGELES, CA and CHICAGO, IL–After weeks of speculation, Kobe Bryant has agreed to be traded to the Chicago Bulls, but with an unusual stipulation.

“The Bulls are ecstatic to announce that we’ve traded for Kobe Bryant today,” announced general manager John Paxson. “Rather, I should say, the Chicago Bulls have traded for Michael Jordan.”

That’s right; the Bulls agreed to the trade with the Lakers, sending the Lakers forward Tyrus Thomas; shooting guard Ben Gordon; forward Andres Nocioni; two draft picks; and one special caveat–that Kobe Bryant is now known as Michael Jordan.

“This is not simply a semantic thing,” said Paxson. “The player formerly known as Kobe Bryant is now actually Michael Jordan. And I gotta be candid, the Bulls are thrilled to have Michael Jordan back in action.”

By a special arrangement as part of the trade, Michael Jordan will get to keep both the stats he accumulated as Kobe Bryant, as well as his previous statistics as Michael Jordan.
 
I think he will try to be Jordan but i don't think he will ever be as good as him..:cool:
 
He doesn't want to be Jordan, he wants to be better than him...
 
A lot of them want to be Jordan. That's one of the big illnesses of the game post-Jordan imo. I would prefer them to want to be Magic Johnson, John Stockton or Larry Bird.

If you take a short timeout to analyse what the overhyped air apparents have done so far in their career, you'll realise that most have failed miserably and only a couple have won some rings on the back of the big fella.
 
Nice April fools day joke Alex07 pulled on everyone here huh? :p:D:D
 
Yes since before Ben Wallace traded,. But Paxson is still waiting for Kobe to Bulls line-up. And he wants to past MJ
