  • The 2001–02 NBA season was the Wizards' 41st season in the National Basketball Association. This season is most memorable for the return of All-Star guard and six-time champion Michael Jordan, who came out of his second retirement to play for the Wizards. After finishing 19–63 the previous season, the Wizards won the draft lottery, and selected high school basketball star Kwame Brown with the first overall pick in the 2001 NBA draft. The team also signed free agent Tyronn Lue, who previously won two championships with the Los Angeles Lakers, and acquired rookie center Brendan Haywood from the Orlando Magic, and acquired rookie guard Bobby Simmons from the Seattle SuperSonics. The Wizards hired head coach Doug Collins, who coached Jordan and the Chicago Bulls from 1986 to 1989. Jordan would also reunite with former Dream Team member Christian Laettner from the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona. Under Collins, the Wizards struggled with a 2–9 start to the season posting an 8-game losing streak in November, but then posted a nine-game winning streak in December holding a 26–21 record before the All-Star break. However, they lost 14 of their next 17 games, as Jordan suffered a knee injury and was out for the remainder of the season after 60 games. The Wizards finished the season fifth in the Atlantic Division with a 37–45 record, which was an 18-game improvement. However, they still missed the playoffs even with the help of Jordan, who averaged 22.9 points, 5.7 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 1.4 steals per game, and was selected for the 2002 NBA All-Star Game. In addition, Richard Hamilton finished second on the team in scoring, averaging 20.0 points per game, but only played 63 games due to a groin injury, while three-point specialist Chris Whitney provided the team with 10.2 points and 3.8 assists per game, second-year guard Courtney Alexander contributed 9.8 points per game, and Popeye Jones led the team with 7.3 rebounds per game. Brown failed to live up to expectations, only averaging just 4.5 points and 3.5 rebounds per game off the bench. Following the season, Hamilton was traded along with Hubert Davis to the Detroit Pistons, while Whitney was traded to the Denver Nuggets, Alexander was dealt to the New Orleans Hornets, Jones re-signed as a free agent with his former team, the Dallas Mavericks, and Tyrone Nesby was released to free agency.
