Michael Jordan is back in the game but not all of the game is back in Michael -- at least not for the computerized likeness marking his long-awaited return to the NBA. Sega Corp. said on Tuesday it will add recently un-retired basketball legend to the lineup for its upcoming ''NBA 2K2'' video game as starting guard for the Washington Wizards. While the animated Jordan will still hit the clutch jumpers and show perfect poise in the final seconds, the 38-year-old veteran will be no longer be taking off from the free-throw line for the acrobatic dunks, Sega said. ``Where we may have brought him down to a little more realistic value was in his jumping ability,'' said Robert Jones, project manager at Sega Sports.
