Michael Jordan scores 39 at age 40
March 9, 2003 was the last time Madison Square Garden would see Michael Jordan in uniform. Many thought he should have left with the “Last Shot” in Utah, and cringe when thinking about the Wizards years, but this day was special. With battle tested legs and a back weary of carrying games over the years, MJ again tortured Knicks fans. Fueled by Shandon Anderson trash talk, the 40-year-old Jordan scorched the Knicks for 39 points in the Wizards losz. He played in the Air Jordan 18 that season, but laced up the Air Jordan 11 “Cool Grey” for his last stand at the “Mecca of Basketball.”
