According to guard Bimbo Coles, Michael Jordan has lost more than the hops. The fear factor that accompanied Jordan is no longer there.

"When Michael got the ball before," said Coles, "guys were scared to death because of what he could do to you when he elevated.

"Now, he settles for the jumper."

Jordan, 38, looked as frustrated as he's ever looked during the Cavaliers' 94-75 victory over the Washington Wizards on Tuesday night. He missed 15 of 24 shots from the field, including one off an alley-oop pass that he would have dunked with his right elbow years ago. And he failed to get to the free-throw line for the first time in 111 games dating to March 1997.

"He's still good," said Coles, "but he is not the same player he once was."

The legs may be shot, but the appeal remains. Wesley Person, accompanied by his 6-year-old son Wesley Jr., visited Jordan afterward in the Wizards locker room. Junior was wearing a Wizards jersey, with Jordan's No. 23 on it, and exited with an autographed basketball.
