Michael Jordan tweets famous ‘I’m back’ line from Hornets account
Michael Jordan took over the Charlotte Hornets official Twitter account on Tuesday, and he kicked things off with a bang. Jordan, at age 51, is over the hill but can still throw down a dunk with ease. That’s probably why he decided to mess with the fans a little.
I’M BACK! …just kidding LOL. Trying out social media for the first time and sharing my day with you. Ready? #MJTakeover

When Jordan decided he was done experimenting with professional baseball in 1995, he announced his return to the Chicago Bulls with a press release that consisted of just two words: “I’m back.”
The Bobcats finished with a winning record (43-39) last season for the first time in four years but were swept by the Miami Heat in the opening round of the playoffs. Fans wouldn’t mind seeing MJ back on the hardwood, though we all know that would never happen.
And yes, it really is His Airness tweeting from his team’s account. Here’s a selfie to prove it:
