But for the first time, Jordan goes there as a member of the Washington Wizards, to battle the hometown Chicago Bulls, which he led to six NBA championships.
NBN-4 telecasts the game at 9:10 p.m. today.
Since Jordan "retired" from Chicago in 1998, the Bulls have become one of the worst teams in the league, with a pitiful 53-199 win-loss record. Meanwhile, he has given the once-woeful Wizards a dose of respectability. After losing 10 of their first 13 games, the Wizards won 15 of the next 20. They now have an 18-18 win-loss record, sixth in the Eastern Conference and just one win shy of their total wins last season (19-63).
Solar Entertainment will telecast the Wizards-Bulls game as part of a Sunday NBA doubleheader that also features the New York Knicks-Philadelphia 76ers game at 10 a.m. on the Solar cable channel, Skycable-24 or Homecable-17.
