Now NBAtalk's reporting the possible return of Barkley [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] Can this possibly be any more ludicrous?!

The Third Coming of Michael Jordan According to Rick Reilly of SportsIllustrated, His Airness is 90% committed to coming back, Reports SI: "According to a source very close to Jordan, he is "90 percent committed" to making a comeback next season with the Washington Wizards, for whom he would play for the minimum $1 million to clear more room under the salary cap for a top-drawer free agent. The Round Mound of Sound, TNT analyst [Charles] Barkley, would quit that gig and play for the minimum too, providing he can lose the equivalent of a ninth-grader. Having accidentally swallowed the MetLife blimp on his way to 337 pounds, he's already down 30 pounds in the last month." Of course, there are obstacles including family approval, ownership red tape and weight. But the rumors are getting hot!
