Why was/is Jordan's Time With the Wizards Viewed as Embarrassing?

[RawlDough]

He donated his 2001-2002 salary to 9/11 victims.

Led the team in scoring in scoring/assists/steals 23/5/1.4

Became all-time leading scorer in All Star games as a Wizard

In 2003 he averaged 20.0 points, 6.1 rebounds, 3.8 assists, and 1.5 steals per game

He also shot 45% from the field, and 82% from the free throw line and even though he turned 40 during the season, he scored 20 or more points 42 times, 30 or more points nine times, and 40 or more points three times

Also that season Jordan became the first 40-year-old to tally 43 points in an NBA game

He sold out all the home games AND the Wizards were the second most-watched team in the NBA, averaging 20,172 fans a game at home and 19,311 on the road

People always want to shyt on his time in DC

The Wizards helped solidy his legacy as the greatest

never heard anyone say his play was embarrassing

off the court tho

 

[Taadow]

Because he was a shell of himself and the Wizards sucked. Hope that helps...

 

[intilectual recipricol]

I was SOOOOO disappointed. I didnt watch no bum ass Wizards games back then, but I remember gettin hyped for Wiz vs Blazers cuz I figgered Mike V Scottie... I cant remember but I think both them niccaz sat out. If not both then definitely one of em.

I think they were trollin

this. I grew up watching as a bull. dude came into the league when I was in the first grade, and I watched him all the way til the end of my soph year in college.

never thought I'd see him wearing another uniform. and although he still could play at that age, he was kinda and didn't even get the wizards into the playoffs either year.

 

[Street Knowledge]

He wasnt an embarrassment.


But He was terrible defensively, his efficiency was garbage that first year, and they didnt make the playoffs in a historically watered down conference both seasons

 

[Non Sequitur]

Yeah, even though his version of was still top 15 at his position, it was still kinda sad to watch. It was like seeing Superman lose his powers


He still had a few moments left in him, but seeing him on the sideline icing his knees and missing dunks was just like

 

[god shamgod]

Oldest player in nba history to score 51 in a game,45 and 44 points in a game

He wasn't the bulls jordan but still did his thing I remember when he pinned ron mercers shot on the backboard in his 1st game vs the bulls.People wanted him to go out with the game 6 gw

 

[Mr swag]

Jordan balled the fukk out those years

 

[trollol]

we can all agree hes an embarrassment now though

If Mike is an embarrassment now whats that make your bum ass ?

 

[Reggie]

Most people look at his as a disappointment because they didn't make the playoffs and they weren't used to seeing MJ fall short like that. But Mike balled both seasons and didn't affect his legacy too me.

 

[#1 pick]

That n*kka was chuckin like Kobe. He was still very good and damn near elite but he wasn't one of the best. I remember nigs dropping 40 regularly like AI and a couple others but MJ was still very good. Washington wasn't that good either.

MJ on the Wizards still had a great mid range jumper


he just lacked his athletic skill and drunking
