Michael Jordan will today play his last ever game at New York's Madison Square Garden, Marc Berman of the New York Post writes, and in his 44th trip to the Big Apple there is no one who could question what kind of show Jordan will put on, even at age 40 and with a creaky back.

"I go there not knowing what may happen," Jordan said. "That's usually how I go into the Garden. I'm not going in there with any preconceived ideas. Whatever happens, happens."

"You can't put it past him to have something special happen," Knicks captain Allan Houston said. "I think he always was well aware when he was in New York and at Madison Square Garden and he wanted to put a show on. But all we want to do is win the game and get closer to the playoffs."

It is unknown if Jordan will receive cheers or boos in his farewell, although he was booed by the Garden faithful at Patrick Ewing's farewell only nine days ago.

"He's kept the Knicks from being in The Finals," Houston said. "They hate him in a respectful way. You have to respect what he's done."

"I hope they boo him the whole game, and at the very end, they should give him a standing ovation," said ex-Knick Doc Rivers.
