   The best basketball player ever was not nearly the best basketball player in his last couple of seasons, but could still do a pretty nice job when healthy... No longer the flashy player he once was, Jordan would knock down quite a few mid-range shots each game... A fake master with good shooting touch... Those fade away jumpers were still great... Would get his teammates involved... Grabbed some rebounds and played smart on defense... An example of work ethic... A winner.
