Back then it was actually kinda tough seeing MJ play below what we were used to seeing him do. But at the same time, there was also just this appreciation for him being back playing for the fans. When he was healthy and had energy though, he was still incredible. At one point he was trending up and averaging 26 ppg before his knee acted up. Some folks may think that his Washington stint was a blight but as I grow older, I realize that it only enhances his legacy because it showed once again that he was willing to take on a challenge despite the odds and truly for the love the game.

the biggest thing MJ has inspired me with, is not fearing failure "the beauty in trying"
Doug didn't develop MJ . MJ was already a great player before he became a Bulls coach
