Michael Jordan announced at a press conference on Friday that, despite recent rumors, he will not make a comeback to the National Basketball Association, according to an article on ESPN.com.
The comeback, if it did materialize, would mark the third time Jordan has come out of retirement.
The rumor mill began to churn when Jordan entered at Hoops Gym in Chicago earlier in September looking for a pickup game. Jordan wants to make sure everyone knows that was all it was--a pickup game. He was also just coming off a basketball camp where he played some of the top young talent in the country.
Word has also travelled around the league that he has contacted Miami center, Shaquille O'Neal about playing for the Heat.
In Friday's press conference Jordan commented that he thought the rumors were amusing, but wanted to make sure they carried no validity.
ESPN Insider Chad Ford stated that, "I don't think you'll see Michael playing in the NBA again." I'm sure Jordan fans (and basketball fans) are hoping the same thing.
