Jerry Stackhouse reveals why his trade to Michael Jordan's Wizards felt 'awkward'

Jerry Stackhouse: A lot of people make make a lot about our last interaction in Washington when I felt that I was kind of in the prime and he was at at the end of his career, but it's Michael Jordan. Michael Jordan no matter who he's on the floor with probably right now feels that he's the best player and the best option. So, I mean, I take no offense to that, but it was just didn't work out in his final year. He brought me there the year before, they had Rip Hamilton and he felt like I was further along in my development and he wanted to win. He wanted to win. That just shows his competitiveness. That's obviously for me being in Detroit, we just got to the second round, I'm feeling like the next level for us is getting to a conference finals and all of a sudden I'm in Washington. So, it was a little awkward there, but at the same time, we made the best of it. We had great moments. I'm telling you, no matter what transpired on the basketball court, we had a good time off the basketball court. You go with Michael Jordan, between playing a little poker and drinking some of the best wine the world has ever made. We had some great moments. So, I never want to try to think that anything there deflects my reverence for Michael Jordan. To me, he's the GOAT. He's the best basketball player to ever wear a pair of shoes, he's an icon in the University of North Carolina.
