This whole interview w/ Haywood is amazing. He basically called out the Wizards coaching staff/management as being incompetent. The players themselves had to figure out how to solve the Bulls in the ’05 playoffs b/c the coaches couldn’t. Eddue Jordan benched him out of spite in 05-06.
The Michael Jordan stories were funny. Especially the one about an unnamed player who went out with MJ the night before a game, played like trash the next day while MJ played great, and MJ telling him he wouldn’t have played better if he wasn’t partying the night before. And the player replies “but I was kickin’ it with you!” All the while MJ was lowkey a front office executive.
