Will Michael Jordan Return to Front Office Leadership
A retrospective on Michael Jordan's Washington Wizards tenure from 2000 to 2001 and the failed bid to reclaim a front office role. The piece contrasts his instinctual talent evaluation with the rigors of executive duties and hints at what a reunion with Abe Pollin or a new owner could require. It notes Jordan's frustration, the Johnson offer to place him with a Charlotte team, and the shift in his perspective after returning to the court.

The United States and Mexico finished 0-0 in a Houston exhibition at Reliant Stadium with many young players.
