Something I thought Id share while waiting for clear pics from that game.......hoopsencyclopedia did a nice bio on that game as he was in attendence. A nice personal touch as he talked about his then-girlfriend who hated basketball but he took her anyway so that he could see the legend live. You can see the full story on his youtube vid of the game here:
"This was my last game seeing MJ play live. The opening photo is from my camera. Here's the story:
I had just started to date a new girlfriend around this time who happened to hate basketball. Thankfully, MJ was in town so I decided to get some quick tickets at $400 apiece so she could say she saw MJ live to her grandkids. I heard standing room tickets at game-time were going for $800 so I felt great paying what I did - especially with my girlfriend complaining about going to a basketball game on the way there.
Now, seeing MJ live as a Wizard was bizarre but when he entered the stadium, as usual, it was as if all the air was sucked out of the room. Everyone stood up, camera lights flashed non-stop and the remembrance of what this man had done in his career as the greatest there ever will be filled the room thick. MJ standing on the court with his hands on his hips felt as if his elbows were touching one side of the stadium to the other. His presence was beyond gripping.
The game started with MJ missing some easy jumpers so he switched to attacking the basket. At age 38 with the bum knee, it was incredible. He gathered more highlight moves in this one game while scoring an efficient 26pts than most players do in an entire season. Of course, playing this way in the Garden was never a surprise.
But the amazing part of the game was what was happening to Sprewell as MJ smothered him mano-a-mano. MJ's mind-body challenge was giving him nerves of jello and Sprewell went a disastrous 0-10 until MJ sat on the bench when he finally made his first bucket. Lucky for Spree, the Knicks were playing well inside and the Wiz had to play catch up the entire time.
With NY up by 10 late in the 4th, MJ turned on his legend and willed his team with his customary, dramatic comeback. By this point, the score was tied and my girlfriend was on the edge of her seat - strictly because the drama of who was going to win overwhelmed her. I said to her, 'Jordan's going to get the last shot and he's going to hit it. That's what he does. I guarantee it.' And when the moment happened, she jumped out of her seat with the rest of the Garden in amazement. She became, enlightened. And although she returned to hating basketball, she would forever tell stories about the one time she saw MJ. This was the essence of what Michael Jordan was to the world."-Hoopsencyclopedia

don't have the pics but I still remember seeing MJ wearing the following Jordans as a Washington Wizard:

1. AJ XVI+ gingers (Pre-season 2001/2002)
2. AJ III retro true blues PE with copper instead of red (Pre-season 2001/2002 and season 2002/2003)
3. AJ XVII white/college blue-black (most games in 2001/2002 season)
4. AJ XVII Low white/university blue-chrome (a few games in 2001/2002 season)
5. AJ XVII Low white/lightning-black (ASG 2002)
6. AJ XVII Low PE white/varsity royal-copper (remaining games in 2001/2002 season)
7. AJ XVII+ white/black-copper (pre-season and early 2002/2003 season)
8. AJ IX retro cool grey (a few games in 2002/2003 season)
9. AJ XI retro cool grey (in several games in the 2002/2003 season where MJ played usually very well)
10. AJ VII retro white/frenchblue-flint grey (one game in 2002/2003 season, scored only 14 pts)
11. AJ XVIII white/sport blue-silver (most games in 2002/2003 season including final game)
12. AJ XVIII white/varsity red (a few games in 2002/2003 season
13. Jordan Team FBI white/varsity royal (a few games in 2002/2003 season)

MJ was supposed to wear the AJ XVIII black/sport royal silver in the ASG 2003 but only wore them
during photoshoot (with Yao Ming etc.)
