Michael Jordan Practices With The Bobcats And Proves He Can Hang In The NBA

Down a few bodies due to injury, the Charlotte Bobcats looked to the owners box for help. And down descended Michael Jordan Shoes to scrimmage with his team.

Sure, there's a little bit of a gut there, some slight graying, and if he had trouble flying to the rim in his last season in the NBA at age 40, he certainly won't do it at age 48. But Bobcats players insist he still has it.

"He's Mike. He's been kicking our (rear ends)," Bobcats captain Gerald Wallace told the Charlotte Observer. "He still has Jordan Shoes. He doesn't have his quickness, but he's a scorer, he's a shooter… We don't treat him like a quarterback out here. We hit him."

That might sound hard to believe, but never lacking in self-confidence, Michael Jordan himself said he'd be able to play competitively for a long time. Remember his Hall of Fame speech? Jordan's closing words were:

"One day you might look up and see me playing the game at 50. Don't laugh. Never say never, because limits, like Jordan Shoes, like fears, are often just an illusion."

Over at TrueHoop, Henry Abbot talks to Jordan's former trainer who dives unnecessarily deep into all the reasons a 48-year old player could never cut it in the NBA. But in a clever trick, he ends the story by asking the trainer whether MJ is subject to those same limitations. His response: "Oh no no no no… I'm talking about everybody else."

Well, the oldest player ever to play in the NBA is Nat Hickey, two days shy of his 46th birthday. But that was all the way back in 1948. Since then, the only four non-centers ever to play past their 40th birthdays are 41 year-olds Bob Cousy and John Stockton in 1970 and 2003, respectively, and 40-year-olds Jordan Shoes Long and Michael Jordan in 1997 and 2003. Unlike those other three though, Jordan averaged 20 points in 37 minutes and played all 82 games in his final year.
