Mr. Jordan Goes To Washington

About the Book

In "Mr. Jordan Goes To Washington," Loretta Smith searches out what happened between Michael Jordan's second retirement from the Chicago Bulls, his re-emergence one year later as one of the minority owners of the Washington Wizards, then his return as a player. In the course of this she goes behind the scenes - into restaurants, bedrooms and NBA conference rooms from coast to coast - drawing from press reports and her own imagination to deconstruct the bigger-than-life world of professional basketball to explain why Jordan returns to the NBA.
