Jordan creates a Catch-22 for the Wiz What is the next logical step for the Wizards? They have a group of young guys, some mid-career journeymen, and an aging, but still potent version of the "Greatest Ever." They're also playing .500 ball and selling out games. How do they continue this and also improve as a franchise? |

If anyone's like Mike, it's Kobe Kobe is, in my opinion, the player who has a chance to get close to Jordan. (Notice I said close.)
