<< Back Next >> -------------------- January 09, 2002 Center stage Darius Miles once bragged that he and his Clipper friends lit up Michael Jordan in a summer pickup game (M.J had a squad of college ballers). Last year they tore up his Wizards while spoiling his night (he was a spectator). This time, MJ was playing and had NBA players by his side - as did Darius - and his Wizards exercised Jordan's prolific trait on the Clippers. Winning. Quentin Richarson (2-10) and Darius Miles (3-9) didn't look too good in the game - flash isn't everything. You'd imagine they'd want to impress an old summertime hoops buddy. MJ though seemingly played his heart out considering his personal problems with 18, 10, and 8 assists. Popeye Jones also got 16 points. Elton Brand only missed twice while scoring 17 and snatching 11. Capital order: Washington 96, LA Clippers 88 Wizards are at 18 win now. Where are the ones asking if MJ could handle the loosing? The question is rather can we realize how good he is? Others are playing their parts but sans him #19 wouldn't be in sight yet. After all, Richard Hamilton wasn't the one responsible for the winning streak then. << Back Next >> Back to archive |
