The associated Press reports that Michael Jordan is not happy with his team?s play and he?s willing to risk his knees to turn things around. Frustrated by a three-game losing streak, Jordan isn?t necessarily calling for a stating position. He is however refusing to let concern over his knees keep his team from the playoffs.
``I'm not concerned about that right now,'' Jordan said when asked about the current plan to limit his minutes to save his knees. ``I know they are. Doctors are supposed to be very conservative, especially with a guy who's about to turn 40.
``But I may not make 41. Who knows? I'd rather live in the moment. I'm a guy who lives for now. You can save all you want, but if you don't get to where you want to go ... By the time you get there I may be healthy, but I may be playing golf in April or May, and that's not fun for me. If I feel good _ which I do feel _ I'd rather get on the court and play.''
Jordan commented after losing to the winless Memphis Grizzlies that if his teammates don?t start playing better, he might start playing more.
``If they don't play well, and we're not winning, then obviously we've got to go to an area where you can count on,'' Jordan said. ``I'd like to think hopefully you can count on me.''
