  • Could Michael Jordan still play at the age of 50?

    130810102818_JORDAN.PNG.jpg

    Michael Jordan recently dunked at his basketball camp held at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Do you think the greatest of all time could still play at the age of 50 in today's NBA game? If so, give us his stat line and his role.

      Absolutely NOT. I don't think Jordan at 50 would even make a current NBA roster. Age defeats everyone at some point, even the greatest of all time.

        Since he can't manage a NBA team at the age of 50, I guess playing is his best option.

            I think that video was actually from Jordan's camp and was shot around 5-6 years ago. So Jordan would have been 43-45 or so. I think OJ was a senior in high school. Its still impressive though.

                  It'd be mission accomplished for him for sure.

                      Oh my bad... I just saw it was uploaded very recently and making headlines so I thought it was from this year.

                        Technically though it won't work:

                        From Grantland.com:

                        According to Article XXIX, Section 8, of the NBA's collective bargaining agreement, entitled "Limitation on Player Ownership":

                        During the term of this Agreement, no NBA player may acquire or hold a direct or indirect interest in the ownership of any NBA Team; provided, however, that any player may own shares of any publicly-traded company that directly or indirectly owns an NBA Team.

                        Jordan's current situation as the majority owner and chairman of the Bobcats prohibits him from suiting up as an NBA player. However, the latter clause in the article offers a glimmer of hope. If Jordan forms a publicly traded company and puts his Bobcats shares into this company, he could then become the player-owner we never knew was possible. Easy, right?

                        Of course not. In a 2011 Sports Illustrated article about the possibility of Jordan's return (it happens every single year), sports law professor Michael McCann broke down just how much of a pain in the ass it would be:

                        While that type of transaction is possible, it is also complicated and would require, among other steps, registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission, an initial public offering and NBA approval of the Bobcats' new ownership structure.

                        Jordan could avoid these complexities by selling his equity stake in the Bobcats, but a sale would require league approval and would take months, if not longer, to finalize. NBA teams also don't come up for sale very often. Jordan would have to really want to return to the court before selling the Bobcats, because it's not clear when he would have another shot at buying an NBA team.

                        Seems like an ungodly amount of time and paperwork for what is essentially a regulation-court-size scratching post for Jordan's competitive itch. But if there's anyone insane enough to try, it's Mike.
