Michael Jordan rose to NBA stardom during his time with the Chicago Bulls. Over his career, he played 13 seasons with the team, spanning two separate periods: from 1984 to 1993 and then again from 1995 to 1998.
However, former NBA star Rasheed Wallace claimed that Jordan was even more dangerous during his time with the Washington Wizards. On a recent episode of The Sheed & Tyler Show, Wallace argued that Jordan’s performance with the Wizards, where he played from 2001 to 2003 after coming out of retirement, was overlooked.
“He was a phenomenal player then, but I think he was a little bit more dangerous when he was with the Wizards,” Wallace said.
Wallace admitted that Jordan may not have had the same explosive athleticism during his time in Washington. But the other aspects of his game had evolved with the Wizards.
“He didn’t have the athleticism that we were used to seeing MJ have, but his angles were a little bit more sharp; he was a strong two-guard; you weren’t just gonna move him lightly, and his shot became more dangerous. He became more solid as that veteran player,” he continued.
