"Michael, on the Brink of Breakdown."
The latest issue of "Sports Illustrated" featured Andrew Sharp's article that thrust Michael Jordan into the eye of the storm.
Because the piece revealed Jordan's act of isolating Roger during the All-Star game, a dark chapter in the glittering All-Star tale was laid bare for all to see.
Andrew Sharp's sources were "several Eastern Conference All-Stars who wished to remain anonymous," and although Jordan remained tight-lipped about it in interviews, Sharp argued, "If he didn't do it, what was he avoiding?"
And the most ridiculous aspect of this affair was that Jordan's attempt to isolate someone ended up making Roger the AMVP, leaving himself with a mere 9 points for the game.
"This is just a sign of the severe decline in Michael's dominance," the article concluded.
Jordan, reading the piece, was so angry his hands trembled.
Everything's turned upside down!
