It's one thing for a man to lose his jumpshot ... quite another to lose his ability to pull spring break tail. From the NY Daily News' Rush & Molloy: Michael Jordan threw up an air ball with the ladies last week at the ME Hotel in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. The retired all-star and his entourage spent three hours chatting up a gaggle of spring-break babes, ordering a constant stream of mojitos, tequila shots and sushi, but Jordan ended the night without even a phone number in his pocket.I'd hate to think Michael took this slight out on Bernie Bickerstaff.
It's just kind of sad. The man has three passions: basketball, no-strings-attached booty, and gambling. Basketball has long since been taken from him. As far as the ladies are concerned ... maybe it's time for Michael to downshift from spring break coeds to Charlotte housewives. Sort of the equivalent of going from winning championships with the Bulls to playing 24 minutes a night with the Wizards.

I refuse to believe this. That dude will be tagging 24 year olds until he's 75, and maybe after. Long live the king.

I agree, the story sounds wrong. But you have to think that *eventually* 18-year-olds will be too young to remember glory Jordan first-hand.

The spring break chicks who were there probably did not meet Michael Jordan's standards. You can't blame his airness for being picky.

If Jordan put as much effort in recruiting free agents and scouting the college and international players, Charlotte would be a beast!

Agree with Bradley... if he focused on Charlotte with the same focus he places on co-eds, Charlotte wouldn't be a perennial lottery picking team.

Anyone who disrespects the "greatest player of all time" is probably just some loser who cant get pleasure himself. With that said, they decide to hate on people who actually matter. I believe that if Jordan was there, he chose not to touch that girl. Whoever wrote these things about him most likely wouldve been more than happy to please him on that lonely night. Respect the man!

Okay, okay, Michael was a great player. No debating that one.
But, and this is a biggie boys, he isn't playing anymore. To suggest young 18-year old girls fall all over themselves to be with Michael just because he WAS great is nothing less than insulting to them.
We do have standards, you know.
As great a player as he WAS, he is a complete failure in management. Ask the Wizard and Bobcat fans. And his record with women isn't too impressive either. Maybe its because he is far too much in love with his ego.

this probably is not true, but even if it is it doesn't matter!! who cares about if MJ scores or not? shouldn't stories on Michael have some connection to BASKETBALL? Like who will be the bobcat's new coach? who will be signed in the offseason for charlotte? anything basketball at all?.....

#23 of our chicago bulls was the worlds champion, to beleive that spring break scamps (though we all love and adore them)would even consider not having their 15 minutes of fame{MIKE}is absolutly quoting another famous mike "LUDICRUS".

This is utterly ridiculous! So what, he should be more like Tom Brady who gets peppered with praises because he'e bangin' two famous women who really aren't all THAT fabulous!?!
Just maybe he wasn't even trying to score! Or just maybe he already HAD someone in his room. I have seen him in Vegas and South Beach both times in the past year, and trust me, he has NO PROBLEM finding someone to take back to the room if he really wants to.
And to Janice (#11), you might not really be interested, but you DEFINITELY are not speaking for the bulk of 18, 19, 20, and 21 year-olds, many of whom are still wearing his shoes. Stop HATIN...

Typical male thinking.
Just because they are wearing his shoes doesn't mean every girl in America wants to jump into bed with him.
Show some respect instead of thinking like a neanderthal.

Well first of all he just wasn't a great player he was and is still one of the most recognizable athletes on the planet, rich as hell, and at 40+ years of age looks he's still in his 30's easily i believe he has no problem finding a female companion of any age but probably thought better especially after what happened with kobe bryant. I mean if you're worth 400 million dollars you're not shagging the chick doing tequila shots at spring break only to have her go cry rape or say she's pregnant to get his money. and as far as MJ's ability to run a basketball team just remember the wizards won a total of 19 games before his arrival and the 24 minutes a game he was playing that someone posted above was still better than half the guards playing in the leage and had he not gone down with injuries(remember he is in his 40's) i believe the wizards would have enjoyed the success a lot sooner than they are now.

It is difficult to read an article like that because it doesn't have that much to do with sports. If you are into sports and know about MJ the focus should stay on sports.
What single man isn't into finding women. There is nothing new there.
Patrick's post said it best MJ is still MJ. If anything the aritcle and some of these bloggers are hating on him for being him. After your career is over you still need a job and he chose to stay in basketball. How is he any different from Bird, or Isaiah, or McHale, or Ainge. MJ is just taking it to a different level by trying to become an onwer.
You cannot destroy MJ for what happened with the Wizards. Most of the teams in the league would have loved to have MJ on their team. He could probably play today if he wanted to. Mutombo is still going. Pippen wants to come back. Why can't the greatest player ever to play the game do the same. The Wizards wouldn't be where they are if it weren't for what MJ did while he was here. On the court he made it fashionable to play in D.C. and he cleared cap space to be able to put the team together that is on the floor now. Any Bullets fan knows how bad it was before MJ. There were so many bad trades made by the Bullets in the past, so much talent went packing in their prime. Could you imagine if Rasheed or Ben Wallace or Webber were on this team.
In the end MJ has done a lot for basketball globally and in D.C. so I don't see the point in trashing him or talking about what 18 year-olds he might be sleeping with. You all know you wish you could do exactly what he is doing.
I wouldn't be surprised if before long the Charlotte Bobcats are moving in the right direction. Bernie Bickerstaff wasn't cutting it and I think with the talent on that team, MJ was right to make a move. Sit back and watch his airness work his magic.
