Michael Jordan was fired by the Washington Wizards! Incredible. I once said that Babe Ruth was the Michael Jordan of his time. The same type of thing happened to him. After being the greatest player of his era, he was unceremoniously dumped at the end of his career. Given the heave-ho. Kicked to the curb. I also remember that Joe Louis was a greeter at Caesar's Palace after his prize-fighting days. That had to be humiliating. Shaking hands like some kind of San Diego Chicken. The higher one flies, the greater the fall. If I were Jordan, I'd go home to Juanita and the kids and forget about basketball. He's too good for the game today.
