"I thought the guys would catch on a lot faster," Jordan said. "I thought we could get them in a situation where they could understand the game at a high intensity and a high pace, and I'm seeing that it's going to take a little longer. But I'm trying to utilize some patience."

Faster? High intensity? High pace? Hey, Michael, your teammates are still waiting for you to get across half-court.

"We're asking them to put some of the nerves aside and understand the game of basketball, how we play and how it's going to help this team going through me -- and putting the pressure on me to make sure I get everybody else involved."

By "understanding the game of basketball" and "[getting] everybody else involved," Jordan takes more than half the shots of the rest of the team combined.

Jordan was matched against Russell for the opening minutes of the second quarter. On the first possession, Russell blanketed Jordan with textbook defense, but Jordan dribbled down the clock and hit a fadeaway 16-footer from the left wing just as the shot clock expired.

And, no, he didn't push Russell as he did in Game 6 of the '98 finals. Jordan jawed with Russell as the two ran down the court.

"I just asked him, `Did he miss me?' He and I have a running joke," Jordan said.

Hey, Michael, do you miss Laimbeer? I know I do.
