My two cents:

1. Michael Jordan is the greatest ever, He’s proven his worth and ability to make whatever decision he wants. Any sports commentator who can take him 1:1 gets to have a valid opinion.

2. You never know how good you can be until you’re not as good anymore. Who knows, he might pull a George Foreman. Better to wear out than rust out.
