The TRUTH About Michael Jordan's Years with the Wizards

It has been OVER TWENTY years since Michael Jordan's ill-fated two year tenure with the Wizards. But TOO MANY people are taking his playing time in Washington out of CONTEXT in order to try to invalidate the rest of his career.

[@jordansoviet23]

FYI Jordan averaged 29.7 ppg in the last ten games before his knee injury. When both Jordan and Hamilton played together at one point they went 15-1. The Wizards also tied their franchise record nine game winning streak during that same stretch as well.

[@thepubknight6144]

Their defense also went from last to 4th and 3rd during his time there

[@EazyMoneyBrodie74]

What people don’t know is that Jordan only played because the Wizards owner was desperate for tickets sales after trading away Chris Webber and Juwan Howard, while being promised full-time ownership of the team. Jordan only drafted Kwame Brown because Abe Pollin wanted him while MJ wanted Elton Brand

[@skap_attack]

Exactly right. Jordan playing was, basically a publicity stunt, but THEN his ALL TIME legendary competitive drive took over. And when he wasn't hurt, he proved he was still an elite player, even at 40.

[@EazyMoneyBrodie74]

@@skap_attack Ppl also forget that his first year in Washington, he was top 10 in the MVP race and averaged 24/6/5 as a starter before his knee injury (he didn’t start the last 7 games of the season after returning from injury)

[@skap_attack]

@@EazyMoneyBrodie74 I believe it was more like 26/6/5 and yea. Probably more like top 5 MVP at the time he tore the meniscus.

[@tdup191]

Lol Elton Brand was drafted #1 in 99, Kwame 01

[@MarkJacksonGaming]

-- This is true.

[@eticacasanova]

In the first year, they went 30-30, with him on the court. And 7-15, without him, that is the equivalent of 26 and 56 for the entire season. The difference is remarkable for an old man who didn't have the past motivation. INCREDIBLE

[@skap_attack]

Let's also keep in mind, he got hurt BEFORE he shut it down. He played with a torn up knee for like 10-15 games after the injury happened and his stats and their record got worse. At the time of the injury he was averaging like 26 points per game and they were 26-21, I believe. Absolutely REMARKABLE.

[@Grievous_]

Im only 20 but im smart enough to know most of the history of the league, all these Lebron fans who say Jordan could barely average 20-22 ppg when he was 38 then brag about how Lebron averages near 30 ppg at the same age is delusion at its finest. Im gonna provide some points that makes them view Mj at 38 very differently! So first, Michael Jordan retired after the 97-98 season and stayed retired for THREE whole seasons before coming back, missing that much time and not playing basketball professionally and have to go through the intense training procedures for THREE whole years and just to randomly come back and just casually average 23 ppg shows how legendary Mj is! Hadn’t played bball professionally for 3 years and still put up 23+ on a nightly basis at 38! To me it’s actually MIRACULOUS he averaged that many points! Secondly you have to factor in the PACE of the game during that era, the early 2000’s was when the pace was at a historic all time low, and thirdly, factoring the intensity of the game especially from the defensive standpoint and viewpoint, players and defenses were just more skilled and better back then, so if he did that today the 2022-23 season he’d probably average around 27+ ppg im not kidding, first off Lebron wouldn’t even be averaging over 25+ ppg at 38 back in the early 2000’s but what Jordan did, take three years off then come back while not playing, practicing, training going through that routine everyday and STILL average 23+ yea thats off the table for Lebron! Lebron would NEVER be able to leave for three whole seasons with no training, practice ect and come back three years later at 38 and avg 23 ppg, and im saying he wouldn’t do that TODAY, he CERTAINLY would NEVER accomplish that in the early 2000’s! MJ was different😤 the Lebron fans don’t know anything 🤣

he didn't have his past physic, but his motivation was intact.

[@HailKingCeezer]

[@trigun442]

During his Wizards tenure, let Jordan play with a top 5 player like in Duncan, Shaq, Garnett and have a supporting cast of used to be SUPERstars or heck regular Allstars. Let him play with top 75 greatest players of all time. He didn't have none of that at the age of 38-40 yet he still dominated with his jumpshots and defense. Played all 82 games with his legs getting injected to remove fluids. Players of today are an embarrassment.

[@skap_attack]

Look, the inevitable comparisons are between Kareem and LeBron who played at high levels late into their careers. As you said, let Jordan have had a player on his team equivalent to Magic or Anthony Davis. Jordan would have won a title at that age range.

Michael Jordan won ZERO LeBron james has won 10 conference championships Michael Jordan won 6......Only Bill Russell and Sam Jones have more conference championships (In a mostly nine team league) than LeBron James In the year before Michael Jordan and LeBron James joined their team and the year after they left their team, their records were 83-84 bulls 27-55 84-85 bulls. 38-44 92-93 bulls 57-25 93-94 bulls 55-27 98-99 bulls 13-37 without Scottie Pippen 00-01 wizards 19-63 01-02 wizards. 37-45 02-03 wizards 37-45 03-04 wizards 25-57 02-03 cavaliers 17-65 03-04 cavaliers 35-47 09-10 cavaliers 61-21 10-11 cavaliers 19-63 09-10 heat. 47-35 10-11 heat 58-24 14-15 heat 37-45 2013-14 cavaliers 33-49 2014-15 cavaliers 53-29 2017- 18 cavaliers 50-32 2018-19 cavaliers 19-63 2017-18 lakers. 35-47 2018-19 lakers were 20-14 when LeBron James got injured on Christmas day. As you can see When LeBron James joins a team, the team improves more than Michael Jordan and when LeBron James leaves a team, the team always goes into the tank. Michael Jordan, excluding the 94-97 seasons, when the NBA moved the three point line to 22 feet, was a career 28% three point shooter. LeBron James is a career 34% three point shooter Michael Jordan was a great defensive player, in an Era where you could handcheck. Playing defense is much easier when you can handcheck. For nearly 6'9 250 LeBron James' entire career he wasn't afforded the opportunity to handcheck. THE EVIDENCE IS CLEAR..LEBRON JAMES IS THE GOAT!!!!! I have added a Postscript So many have replied, that LeBron james didn't make the playoffs his first two years and Jordan did. What they fail to say is, in 1985, 16 of 23 teams made the playoffs. In 2004, 16 of 29 teams made the playoffs. It was MUCH EASIER Making the playoffs in 1985. Perfect example is the 1985 86 bulls went 30-52 and made the playoffs and the 2004 05 cavaliers went 42-40 and did not make the playoffs. Also, I don't know, possibly, maybe, Jordan had a HUGE ADVANTAGE considering he played three years of college basketball and LeBron James was 19 years old, and straight out of high school

Exactly right. Jordan didn't come back to win championships or lead the league in scoring. If he wanted to do either though, he likely could have. Maybe not lead the league, but if he load managed and skipped every other game, or every good defensive team, he could have been top 5 in ppg. AND if he wanted to prostitute himself for a super team, he could have gravy trained one or two rings at the end.

Facts. This is beautiful Skap. The context is critical to understanding. I watched his wizards years in realtime so I take it for granted that he was actually adding to his legacy, rather than hurting it, up until he tore his meniscus in his 47th game of the season. If you look at the stats for the 2 months prior to that injury you could see he was getting it all back and starting to dominate again. He likely would've been around 28-29 ppg average by season's end if healthy. And they would've had a much better record. Probably 1-3 seed for the playoffs.

[@skap_attack]

I'm not being tongue and cheek here or hyperbolic. IF he didn't tear the meniscus in 2001-02, I really do believe they would have played the Lakers in the NBA finals. They would have gotten smoked in that finals series, BUT I think they would have been there. Which says just how damn GOOD Jordan still was even at 38/39 season AND how BAD the EAST was at that time.

[@MeLoveParisHilton]

If Jordan does not get injured the Wizards would have made the playoffs 100%, it's a certainty. Perhaps even the finals and Jordan would have had a shot at the 1st all nba team. The Wizards were 26-21 and had a 9 game winning streak before Jordan's injury. They were on pace to win 50+ games despite their slow 2-9 start and Jordan needing time to shake off his rust. Jordan was averaging 25 5 5 with Kobe being the only other player in the NBA with this sort of statline. In the last 10 games before the injury Jordan was averaging 30 6 6! The Wizards also had the Best defense in the NBA at that point in the season. This is what adding 38yr old Jordan brings to a team even after being the 2nd worst defense in the NBA the prior season. The thing is Jordan is an absolute madman as he still played 13 (!!) games with a torn meniscus which tanked his stats as well as the wizards record. The guy was just so competitive. Imagine today's players who sit out games just because they are tired or the proclaimed goat who fakes injuries as an excuse doing this. Anyways that season before the injury was one of the best seasons for a player ever from a perspective of turning around a struggling team and Jordan did it being 38 years old.

@@travonteoatis-henderson240 Look at the attempts per season, when Jordan attempted around 3 3pt/g he shot over 35% in the season, but when he attempted only 1 3pt/g he shot under 30%, and when you shoot less than 1 3pt per game, any heaves would significantly lower your %, which Jordan did a lot earlier in his career. Look again at Jordan's playoffs 3pt shooting, they're always in the high 30%'s, sometimes even in the 40%'s, and that's without the shortened 3pt line. Jordan's playoffs 3pt% is 33.2% in an era where 3pt wasn't considered a good shot, whereas Lebron's playoffs 3pt% is 33.1% in an era where players are encouraged to take 3's, so if Jordan was a terrible 3pt shooter, what is Lebron James then?

Actually, his first year with the Wizards was even better than what you think. He was hurt before the season began. And then some of the games you cited were games he played after his knee injury (I think). A mildly healthy Jordan (with only his pre-season injuries) had a better ppg than the one you cited.

[@stephenstine3049]

Great comments from those that noticed that Jordan got injured and before that the wizards were a playoff bound team and were peaking. It’s really important to know that Jordan‘s injury was not also his body just breaking down. What happened was he had a great game, actually scored a spectacular basket, and then one of his own players ran into him accidentally, and the player’s whole body jammed into Jordan‘s knee and hyper-extended it. So it was completely a freak accident, had absolutely nothing with Jordan‘s age. Just a random, and somewhat rare injury, imposed by his own teammate. Jordan‘s knee was never the same after that, and his scoring went down dramatically, for the remaining 10 or so games he could play before he had to shut the whole season down. You can still find that play on KZbin if you look. Jordan scored this beautiful basket and was turning around to run down the court and this own player, some random big guy, I believe a wizards bench player, just ran into him and hyperextended Jordan‘s knee. Jordan was also averaging over 25 points per game and his average in the 10 games before the injury was close to 30 points. Had that freak accident not occurred, Jordan probably would’ve ended up scoring 25 to 27 points per game, as his scoring average was steadily climbing. The wizards would almost certainly have been a strong playoff team, and probably could’ve won at least one if not two series. Maybe even an outside chance they could’ve beaten the Nets and made the championship. They were really on an incredible roll, and Jordan was just getting into his rhythm when that accidental injury just completely derailed their season.
