Jordan: NBA is an itch that still needs to be scratched.(The Orlando Sentinel)
WASHINGTON, D.C. _ The fans stood there, hundreds of them, forming a line in front of the MCI Center that flooded an entire city block.
They stood there and smiled, seemingly oblivious that they were about to dole out hundreds or max out credit cards. All of this was because of a 38-year-old bald man who was inside speaking publicly for the first time since he announced it was safe to proudly wear those 1988 Air Jordans again.
"There's an itch that still needs to be scratched here, and I want to make sure the scratch doesn't bother me for the rest of my life," Michael Jordan said Monday, explaining why he had to make a second NBA comeback.
One fan had waited 24 hours to get tickets for the Wizards' Nov. 3 home opener against Philadelphia. He got to the ticket window and was told the game was sold out.
They gave him a hat instead.
Jordan is back, and most everyone in this city knows it and cares. The Wizards have transformed from a boring afterthought to a team with, perhaps, the most popular athlete in the world.
"We're not the Wizards that we were last year," said rookie forward Kwame Brown, who wasn't even with the Wizards last season.
