It sounds like Jorden is having academic problems. Made reference to finals and quote that says he would love to work with him, instead of saying I will be looking forward to working w him.
I think you are reading WAY too much into a quote Mullin didn't intend to be dissected word for word.
Jordan is in the middle of finals, and that is an intense week for anyone--athlete or not.
I agree 100%. I cannot think of anything I disliked more than finals week. Not only are you studying your butt off, but could have term papers to complete as well.
Man, it's so great to hear something about Mullin that isn't about recruiting or assembling a staff. He's already doing some of the work we are all excited about - working with kids to help them improve. With Jordan envision a block of perfect marble that could be on it's way to being a work of art. If Mullin can teach, and Jordan can learn, the sky could be the limit. I'm optimistic about both happening.
Mullin's game didn't need a lot of mustard, but perhaps if Jordan executes one of those Larry Bird, no look, flick your wrist, slap passes to a wide open teammate for a layup, we'll know where Rysheed learned it.*
*If any of you actually know what I'm referring to and can name the game, big bonus points. Unlike the bounce dunk at Syracuse, I can't remember the game for that pass.
