Michael Jordan on the Mavericks? Mark Cuban tried to make it happen
Michael Jordan變成小牛球員？Mark Cuban曾嘗試過
Michael Jordan’s return to the NBA in 2001 was not a glorious one.
2001年Michael Jordan的回歸並不是那麼耀眼。
He remained a productive player at the end of his career as he averaged more
than 20 points in each of his two seasons with the Washington Wizards.
他還是個能得分的球員，在那兩年的巫師時間，即使是他的生涯末段，他還是繳出了場均
20+的成績單。
But at 38 and 39 years old, he had devolved into a volume shooter playing on

但是那兩年Jordan是38以及39歲了，在一支爛隊他蛻變成一位穩定的射手，最後球隊兩季
都拿下37勝。
What if Jordan instead had joined a contender that had prime talent and
deployed his leadership and limited skillset in a more surgical fashion?
若是Jordan加入的是一支爭冠隊伍，有著滿滿天賦，可以讓他展現他的領導力以及更有效
的發揮他有限的得分技巧呢？
Mark Cuban tried to make that happen.
小牛老闆Mark Cuban曾試著想要讓這件事發生。
The Dallas Mavericks owner told Dallas’ 105.3 The Fan on Tuesday (h/t @ Mike
Fisher) that he tried to talk Jordan and his agent David Falk out of signing
with the Wizards in 2001. He had just bought his majority stake of the
Mavericks a year prior.
他在星期二的廣播節目上說，他在2001年的時候跟Jordan以及Jordan的經紀人David Falk
談過，希望他可以不要跟巫師簽約。那年是Cuban成為小牛主要擁有者的隔年。
“The day he signed with the Washington Wizards to come back, David Falk —
that’s right when I was buying the Mavs — said ‘why don’t you go meet him?
’” Cuban said. “So I went to David Falk’s office and all the papers were
right there. And I was trying to convince MJ to not sign them and to do
something with the Mavs.”
「當Jordan決定回來打球跟巫師簽約的那天，他的經紀人David Falk
