And really would it be fair for the lowly Wizards to all of a sudden be champs??

Well why wouldn't it be fair? If the Wizards become the best, then they deserve to win. (Although the Wizards won't.) It's no different then people drafting for good players or trading to get a few great players to turn the team around. Whoever is the best deserves to win no matter what.
And regarding how fans will accept him. Jordan is Jordan. If you loved him then, you'll love him now. If you didn't ever like him, then you still won't.
I've had mixed feelings about him coming back. But one thing I heard on sports radio yesterday that I agree with is, 'Who are we to say he shouldn't come back?' I don't think he's stupid. I'm sure that since he is coming back he will make sure he is ready. Also, so what that he's had his chance. If he can still bring it, then I say bring it. If the new guys are better then they'll show MJ and us that and force MJ back into retirement. But if they can't hang with the 'old man', then maybe he deserves to still be playing.
Nothing will ever tarnish his legacy. Even if he comes back weak. Sure people will talk and be disappointed for a while. But I doubt anyone will ever really forget how he defied gravity, lead the league in scoring for so many years, won six championships, dominated endorsements, and basically became the NBA.
If his comeback is heartbreaking, disappointing and sad, then it's just what most of us expected. But if he his at least almost the same MJ of old, then I wonder what everyone will have to say then.
