Michael Jordan, whose comeback tour made its first and only stop of the season in Minnesota today, knows a good team when he sees one.

"Flip's really got those guys playing extremely well," Jordan said this morning after his Washington Wizards finished a shootaround before the evening's game against the Midwest Division-leading Timberwolves.

"Garnett's playing with a lot of energy," Jordan said. "He continues to improve each year. Everyone understands their roles. When we saw them last time, they didn't even have Joe Smith or Terrell Brandon."
