Mark Kreidler of the Sacramento Bee weighs in on the topic of the week -- did Michael Jordan make a mistake by coming back?  Kreidler points out that there a vast number of positives he brought to the Wizards and basketball and very few negatives.

Some of Jordan's critics are now saying "I told you so" that a thirty-nine year old couldn't survive in the NBA and many are saying he's damaged the Wizards future.  Kreidler, himself, admits he had doubts about the Airogant One's return but he now concedes he was dead wrong:

"As for Jordan's legacy, maybe it really is dent-proof. Players after coaches after executives this week have showered with praise Jordan's effort, even as they acknowledge that they wondered if its pace and demands might eventually overtake him.

'That's especially true if you had told me he was going to play the number of minutes he's been playing," said Kings coach Rick Adelman. "I thought he would've played more like 32 minutes a game, but he was playing in the upper 30s in minutes and with a lot of pressure on his shoulders for that team to do well. With this team, he had to play for them to win.'

And so Jordan did play and, for as long as he did, the Wizards won. It didn't last nearly long enough, but then most of the great acts don't.

If Michael Jordan reminded a few people along the way of why they started watching basketball in the first place, there undoubtedly are worse epitaphs.

And if he made mild fools out of a bunch of us in the process, well, that's par for the course."
