I guess he 'jokingly' said it, of course you never know with if he's joking or not.
BUT...
The Bobcats:
-are the worst team ever
-attendance is awful
-they have no stars for fans to gravitate to
-whatever rookie they get can't & won't turn it all around
-MJ is 49 and will be 50 during the next NBA season....
I know damn well with the sorry play I saw on that team that a 50 year old Mike could legit beat out at least 1 or 2 of those guys for a roster spot.
What better way to bring some life/MONEY back into the franchise? Who cares about your legacy when you're losing money like that?
