Wennington is quick to point out his St. John’s squad, which also featured Brooklyn’s Chris Mullin, bested Jordan’s North Carolina team in the 1982-83 season.
Wennington had the chance to see Jordan with somewhat regularity a few years ago when Jordan’s sons, Jeff and Marcus, attended Loyola Academy at the same time as Wennington’s son, Robbie.“We’d laugh, and talk about how much easier life was with the kids playing instead of us,†he said. “Michael was a guy who respected guys he played with, as long as they worked. He expected you to do your job and he’d get frustrated if you took plays off or had mental lapses. Once he does respect you, you’re his friend for life. He always makes time for old teammates when he sees them.â€
He's also funny as hell. I wish he was our color commentator.

No, it's based mostly on hearing him over the years.There is one former player who I used to shoot hoops with in my former local park, but I won't be pushing him for a color job anytime soon.
