Playing for Michael Jordan late in his storied career had to be challenging. Detroit Pistons champion Richard Hamilton had to endure that early on in his own career when playing with the Washington Wizards.
Jordan, past his prime and having already been a part-owner of the Wizards (he had to surrender ownership to play again) prior to suiting up for the team, was known to be testy in D.C., likely frustrated with the lack of talent on those Wizards teams and with the fact that his own skill level just wasn’t what it used to be.
