“I remember one time, we were playing in practice, right? And, Prof might’ve hit a shot on MJ, and he was like, running down court: ‘Yeah, you can’t guard me with them old-ass knees!’” recalls Hamilton. Boom, not long after, Profit was traded to the Orlando Magic by a heated MJ.
Profit was traded in August of 2001, and Jordan announced his return from retirement as a player for the Wizards the next month.
