At the start of the game, Rory Mason, 7, of Herndon, one of the youngest fans in the stands, was wishing for a Jordan jam: "I hope he does a slam-dunk." This, Jordan's last game at MCI Center, was Rory's first. He had a Jordan jersey on his back and ketchup on his lip.
Fabian Biedermann, from Aargau, Switzerland, perhaps traveled the longest distance to see Jordan play. "I want to see him make a buzzer-beater tonight," Biedermann said. "And score, like, 60 points."
Something superhuman.
About four minutes into the game, Jordan dribbled between his legs and scored -- a jumper from the side. A little later, he granted Rory's wish and slammed one home.
Pretty cool, huh? Only 7 and he's already being quoted in the Post!
