fine, but it is bizarre how it just kind of.... doesn't go in. He had one or two really painful rim outs. I have heard from someone close to the team that MJ really did look very good in off season practices and was shooting the ball particularly well and an improvement on last season. I really believe he will be just fine. It will come.
