When you hear the words "Michael Jordan," you immediately think of that familiar shaved head, the wagging tongue and the No. 23 Chicago Bulls jersey.

Well, when MJ returns to the court in 2001-02, he'll have the same chrome dome and the same overactive tongue, but he'll be wearing the unfamiliar duds of the Washington Wizards.

Just how strange will it be to see MJ in a Wizards jersey? That's for you to tell us.

In Page 2's new feature called "Drawing a Blank," we ask readers to complete a sentence about that week's hot topic in the sports world. Here's this week's sentence, followed by readers' suggestions for filling in the blank.
