A brother, his family and Michael Jordan: Reflecting on 9/11
Posted Sep 19, 2021

He lived in the Washington, D.C. area, and the Wizards were the home team, so that became a closer option. He’d ask about certain players, which wasn’t unusual; as a sportswriter, you ask questions and you also get them. He’d wonder about Michael Jordan.
