Michael Jordan Wishes He Had Mentored Jerry Stackhouse

The Charlotte Hornets, who will not be making the trek down I-95 to Orlando when the NBA resumes next month, met with media members Thursday on Zoom, reflecting on their now-completed 2019-20 season. The conversation eventually shifted to owner Michael Jordan, the subject of ESPN’s wildly popular The Last Dance documentary. One aspect of Jordan’s career not addressed in The Last Dance was the former shooting guard’s two-year stint with the Washingon Wizards, a rare blemish in an otherwise brilliant career. The Hall of Famer showed his age with Washington, failing to make the Wizards relevant in the Eastern Conference while occasionally lashing out at teammates including former All-Star Jerry Stackhouse.
