Breaking down the moves of Michael Jordan is like trying to count the beats of a hummingbird’s wings. You’ll always miss something.
This move is easy to see, though, and the first reaction is: Mike is really messing up. . . .
Playing basketball is what Jordan does. Take away the golf clubs, wash off the cologne, remove the endorsements, close the bank accounts and there stands a basketball player. The NBA stumbled when Jordan took his baseball sabbatical. Now it seems set to fall harder in this absence. That Jordan would abandon the league in the hour it needs him most with its very popularity on the line is telling. Only Jordan could save this stunted season, and you’d better believe he knows it.
