    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Washington Post - Michael Jordan believes that the Washington Wizards "used" him and said he never would have returned to basketball in 2001 if he had known that owner Abe Pollin wasn't going to allow him to return to his position as team president.

    In an interview with "60 Minutes," which will air Sunday on CBS, Jordan said that getting fired was an especially painful experience considering the moves he made to make the Wizards profitable. "I didn't have to" come back, Jordan said. "But I did it with the benefit of trying to help an organization to get back on their feet. And the gratitude that was given? It was, 'Your service is no longer wanted or needed.' So I felt like I was used in a sense."</div>

    Jordan was a much, MUCH better player than he was VP of Basketball Ops...he made some horrendous decisions when he was in the front office...even I knew that the Wiz werent gonna necessarily keep him around after his playing career was done...for such a savvy businessman, he shouldve seen that as well...
