MONDAY, JAN. 11: The Bulls' second draft pick, Corey Carr, takes his first practice in the Berto Center with 15 other NBA players, including ex-Bull, now Charlotte Hornet, B.J. Armstrong. Luc Longley practices, but sits out the scrimmages. "I'm a free agent," he shrugs. "I don't want to get hurt...
THURSDAY, JAN. 7: The NBA will not allow owners to call agents until Friday. In his office on the second floor of the Berto Center in Chicago, general manager Krause looks down at an empty practice floor.

And it wasn't just Chicago that was devoted to Michael. When the news of the return of Qiao Dan (pronounced tshoo dun) was announced over loudspeakers at an army basketball game in Beijing...
...days after the ad began airing last Sunday, and five days after he told Poe he was going to stop trying, Jordan sneaked into the Berto Center to restart his basketball career. "It's a reality, but it's still not a reality," said the Bulls' sometimes mystifying coach Phil Jackson. Jordan may be rusty, but within a week or two, Air will be a reality once again...
