Jordan says he's not planning to play for Miami Heat

According to the Miami Herald, Michael Jordan told ESPN that he is not planning on playing for the Miami Heat. He stated that the rumors were unfounded and that he had no intentions of returning to play for any NBA team. Pat Riley said that the Heat had not had any communication with Jordan since getting O'Neal from Los Angeles via the trade. O'Neal polled his teammates on whether or not they wanted Jordan on the Heat, but he personally opposed the idea.
