This is the Intro video for the Wizards for the 2002-03 season, Jordans Last Year. The Wizards were screwed by Jordan, throughout all the years he 'invested' in the Wizards. Yes, he tried his hardest to make the Wizards the next Bulls, but he just couldnt. He screwed the team up by drafting Kwame Brown. He made bad benching decisions such as benching Larry Hughes for Tyronee Lue..and etc. This is a nice video though. Players Included in this Video are: Michael Jordan, Jerry Stackhouse, Larry Hughes, Kwame Brown, Brendan Haywood, Tyronee Lue, Juan Dixon, Etan Thomas, Jared Jeffries, Christian Laettner. The song is Lose Yourself by Eminem.
I'm sure you could convince Jordan to stay a few more years with a contender, I know he wouldn't be super effective, but it's something to think about.
PG: Gilbert Arenas
SG: Rip Hamilton (not in his prime yet but a small step below 03-04 finals
SF: 41/42 year old Jordan, if this happened and he just focused on defense and they had a 6th man SF who could play good minutes and save him some energy he'd still be elite at 41/42
PF: Juwan Howard (good enough basically, good defender and decent on

SF: 40 year old Michael Jordan = averaged 20 ppg but watching him he just seemed slow, I'd say he was still top 5 but eh, to me he felt like in 2003 he was like a rich mans Danny Granger.
PF: Kwame Brown = a kid with amazing potential wasted thanks to not getting a chance to develop and thrown in to battle players like KG and Tim Duncan at 18 years old, if he was developed like Andrew Bynum was, he'd be an all star like 3 or 4 times throughout his whole career.
C = Haywood = talented but stil

PG: Tyronne Lue = like 20th out of the 29 starting PG's
SG: Stackhouse = injury prone, but some considered him a superstar at the time, or just leaving that title, and Jordan wanted to win then instead of developing Hamilton which he thought would take longer than it did. Stackhouse was at least a top 10 SG at the time
