And Collins steals minutes of rest for Jordan whenever possible. He sat out the last quarter of a blowout loss to Milwaukee last weekend--"saving the legs," he said. On the floor, Jordan's understanding of the game is unparalleled. "I think great athletes have some special quality, where their minds function entirely differently," says Collins.
