Waning Gretzky Jordan's case is different

The Great One is done with his on-ice hockey fun.

Unlike Michael Jordan on the basketball court, Wayne Gretzky haslearned to cool his heels. He will leave any comebacks to hisbasketball equivalent.

"I miss the game a lot, but I'm not tempted one bit," the retiredhockey legend told the New York Post. "Michael retired early. It'sdifferent for him."

Gretzky said he is not certain Jordan is coming back after endinghis career with an NBA title-winning shot in 1998.

"What you play for is to keep winning," Gretzky said. "But only afew guys get to go out a champion. If he would come back and his teamdidn't win, it shouldn't tarnish his career one bit.

"That doesn't mean I believe he would come back to be only anothergood player. If he plays, I think it'll be because of the challengeof being everything he was. But it's his own standards he has tosatisfy, not anybody else."
