What’s it like to play for Michael Jordan? Charlotte Hornets forward Marvin Williams calls it the million-dollar question. Friends, family, reporters, strangers all want to know. After all, the team owner is a Hall of Famer, six-time NBA champion, five-time MVP, six-time Finals MVP and considered one of, if not, the greatest to play basketball. “It’s actually really cool. It’s not like people think,” Williams told USA TODAY Sports. “For the most part from what I hear, most people think it’s a lot tougher playing for him than it really is. He’s the total opposite.”

Rod Boone: Marvin on the loss: “It’s how you lose. When you don’t play your best it’s disappointing. Take nothing away from Boston. They are a very good team on both ends of the floor. But sometimes when you have nights like this you might take 2 or 3 things from it and just throw it away.”
So while a 28-point home loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Dec. 15 might have seemed like an emphatic call for change, it was more the final tipping point. “I think this has been something that has been brewing for the last week or two,” Hornets power forward Marvin Williams said of the rotation shakeup that led to consecutive victories. “Coach is very even-tempered, a very patient man. But at some point, everyone has to draw a line in the sand, and I think that’s what he’s done.”
Rod Boone: Final: #Hornets 113,, Nuggets 107: Kemba had 21 points, 8 assists and 6 rebounds. Tony had 19 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists. Marvin added 14 points, 10 rebounds and Malik had 16. They end Denver’s 7-game win streak. Yet again evidence that it’s hard to figure these Hornets out
Rick Bonnell: Marvin Williams will play and start
Rick Bonnell: Rather surprising @Charlotte Hornets development: Marvin Williams has been upgraded to questionable, so he might play tonight versus Denver Nuggets. Williams suffered a right shoulder strain Sunday, and projection Monday was he would miss at least a week.
