Your Wizards Coaches Have All the Game

By Jamie Mottram | December 18, 2007

Buried beneath Ivan Carter’s story about Nick Young’s new starting role is a tasty morsel from yesterday’s Wizards practice. The team was down to six players after Caron, Antawn and Andray went home for various reasons, so the old guys stepped in for some run:

“Jordan chose five players and had them defend assistant coaches Mike O’Koren, Phil Hubbard, Randy Ayers, Dave Hopla and Wes Unseld Jr. for two possessions.

On the second possession, O’Koren, who last played in the NBA in 1987, drove and passed out to an open Hubbard, who last played in 1989, and Hubbard made a long jump shot over the outstretched arm of Brendan Haywood.

O’Koren and Hubbard celebrated with a high-five as a laughing Jordan whistled an end to practice. When he heard about what happened, injured guard Gilbert Arenas poked his head into the gym and let his teammates have it.

“How do ya’ll lose to the coaches?” Arenas yelled. “They can’t move!”

That’s the good stuff right there, and this is the team that keeps on teeming.

(Tip of the pen to Scott Van Pelt Style for the story.)
