For Abe Pollin, Sweet Vindication
Even those in Washington who don't pay much attention to sports remember the famous picture that appeared in this newspaper two years ago: Michael Jordan driving away from the MCI Center in his Mercedes convertible with the Illinois license plate, leaving the Washington Wizards in his rearview mirror.
