In close games the 106 gets to rocking. G...

Michael Jordan’s legacy as a “teacher” or someone who passed the game on isn’t exactly sterling. He pretty much killed Kwame Brown‘s soul, and has never been known to take a special interest in any of his players on the Wizards or Bobcats. Jordan is known to have ridiculously high standards, keeps a close circle…

As expected, Kwame Brown had surgery yesterday. The team called it "successful" and says he is expected to miss at least three months. That would mean Brown's earliest possible return date would be April 18 - in time to play the final six games of the season. Whether it will be worth it for him to return at that point, obviously, will have much to do with whether the Warriors can win without...
