Michael Jordan's two seasons in Washington get remembered as the asterisk. The numbers say something more interesting.
He came back at 38 to a team that went 19-63 the year before. With him in uniform in 2001-02, the Wizards went 30-30. Without him, 7-15.
That December he scored 6 against Indiana, his first single-digit game since the Bulls days, and the obituaries started. Two nights later he dropped 51 on Charlotte. The next game, 45 on New Jersey.
In 2002-03, at 39, he played all 82 games. He averaged 20.0 points and made the All-Star team. Four days after turning 40, he scored 43 on the Nets.
Over the two seasons: 21.2 points, 5.9 rebounds, 4.4 assists. Both years the Wizards finished 37-45 and missed the playoffs.
The Wizards years didn't add to his legacy. They showed what it was made of. Take away the hops, the first step and the supporting cast, and what's left is the part that never needed any of them.
Nobody wants to go out on a 37-45 team. He chose to compete anyway. That's the whole story.
Fun book. Very few TV series have managed to remain pop culturally relevant almost 30 years after ending. I’m super proud of the show and happy for Will, Danielle and Rider. #BookMeetsWorld
I have a theory i thought when i was high one night that I’ll share ….
I think music doesn’t hit the same cause life for most ppl is dog shit. nobody wanna hear about flash rap when it cost the avg person $100 a day to live.
I need y'all to remember that Millennials were growing up in a time where reruns were HEAVILY still a thing. We were consuming media from as early as the 30s. Movies, television, music. Definitely cartoons. And loving it all. "What y'all know about this?" LITERALLY EVERYTHING.
Real talk this is what’s so dope about her. Explaining shit to people who’ve been so online that they don’t know how things work. And you need to know how a thing works in order to change it for the better.
To plan a career you must know what's going on. Great film industry podcasts: The Town (inside biz of Hollywood), producer James Crane (future of Hollywood), The Ankler (Hollywood newsletter) TY Kristen Tepper on TikTok -- also very knowledgeable! Also Shannan E. Johnson (my rec)
@Wale@curse10__ This!! And his live freestyle skills are ENTERTAINING AF. It's actual talent. Folks will look for a reason to hate on anyone and anything these days. Having talent is lame. Trying hard is lame. Being original is lame. Everything is lame to someone lol.
Why play movies or TV in the background while you write? Rhythm. The secret is it has to be something you've seen a million times before so you don't actually watch while you write.
