King Pollin Lays An Egg

Today the Washington Post editorialized that Abe Pollin, owner of the Washington Wizards and until yesterday partners with Michael Jordan, should "emerge from this spat with his reputation intact."

Get real. Pollin tanked Jordan after Michael packed the house for two solid seasons. Jordan hasn't been fired since his (now legendary) high school basketball coach cut him from the freshman squad. You don't fire the best player ever -- much less engage in what the Post admits was a lot of "intriguing, plotting and anonymous badmouthing" by Pollin -- and stay unsullied. This entire sordid episode shows that Pollin and his Wizards are the sorriest franchise in professional sports. Jordan is better off for being released from his imprisonement with those morons.
