That's also the question for Jordan. He is 32, and his Bulls were no match for the young Magic Friday night, losing 106-99. But Jordan has this going for him: He is his own harshest critic. "It was disappointing. I didn't play the type of basketball they've seen me play." You would have thought he had scored five points. He actually scored 21, with eight assists. As he walked out of the press conference, one sportswriter said, "Elvis has left the building."
Tyson left his building at 5:20 a.m. The slim ex-champ got into King's limousine, wearing a dark suit and a white kufi, an Islamic head covering. Would the limo turn right to the airport, or left to the mosque a few miles away?
It went left, at which point a comic chase ensued, with four helicopters and scores of rental cars in hot pursuit. To avoid the local policemen who had blocked the entrance to the imposing Islamic Center of North America, the reporters scurried across a frosted meadow. But once inside, shoes removed, they got more than just a scoop. They heard Tyson pray out loud, saw a wobbling but still imposing Muhammad Ali and learned a little about a religion.
They also saw a few young worshippers wearing Michael Jordan jerseys.
