50 is the new 18

For some reason, great athletes are always wanting to return to their sport after retirement. With Scotty Pippen talking about wanting to return to the NBA and Holyfield returning to the ring, this got me thinking about other "Greats" that should return to their sports.

The great Hank Aaron is only 73 and with his record of 755 home runs being threatened to be broken, this is a great time to once again start swinging that bat. I know he has not hit a home run since July 20, 1976, but hitting home runs is like riding a bike, at first it might be a little hard, but once he gets into it we will see that record somewhere around 836. He now has some free time on his hands since he dropped a couple of his BMW stores and only owns one now, so he has plenty of training time. Bonds, with his track marks will have a hard time catching up if Aaron puts up those hits.

Magic Johnson can still be a dominant point guard in the NBA at the age of 47. He can bring the game to a new level with what he has learned from owning a couple Burger Kings and movie theaters around the US. He still can put the fear of god in someone when ever he posts up since he still has a small case of the hiv.

Football great Jim McMahon can come out of retirement and bring the Bears back and win another Super Bowl like he did in Super Bowl XX. With Grossman giving excuse after excuse, the Bears just need to pick up the man who made an outstanding cameo in Johnny Be Good, McMahon.

The Athlete that I will love to see return is the great Anna Kournikova because she is really HOT.
