Speaks Out

Do you agree with Michael Jordan’s decision to
come out of retirement for the second time and play in the
NBA? Amanda Simpson Second-year Political
science “I think if he loves the game as much as he says he
does, then he should return. You should do what you love, and he
should keep playing for as long as he can. But I think if he
isn’t good anymore, it will be a different story.”
Lucas Denman First-year Undeclared “I think
it’s good that he wants to return and that he still wants to
keep playing. If I were him I would have just ended the way he did
on a high note and gone on with my life. But if he still has the
love for the game, then it’s really his choice to keep it
going.” Dan Gadzuric Fourth-year History
“He’s already legendary so he doesn’t have to
prove anything. Coming back is his choice, so it’s for him to
prove what he can do now at his age, and I think he’s gonna
do fine. It’s good for the game and its good for the (NBA)
market and the business aspect of it. He certainly boosts up the
attendance of NBA games.” Jamila Veasley
Second-year Undeclared “If he comes back his stats are going
to drop and Kobe is going to pass him up. I think he’s gonna
get done up by Kobe and Iverson. I don’t think it’s
going to be good for the game because we won’t have anybody
to look up to anymore. But just because he’s Jordan, I want
to see what he’s been up to, if he’s been working on
his game. I’m still definitely going to watch him.”
