JORDAN SAYS HE IS COMMITTED TO WIZARDS, ENJOYING LIFE IN NBA

          Wizards President of Basketball Operations Michael
     Jordan, who is at the Desert Classic NBA Pre-Draft Camp in
     AZ scouting players, told Richard Justice of the WASHINGTON
     POST that he plans to buy a residence in DC and "would like
     to spend more time with the team" next season.  But he
     "rebutted criticism that his absences mean he's less than
     passionate about his new job."  Jordan: "I think people want
     to see me there.  I am there.  I talk every day on the
     phone, I e-mail people. ... I will be there more next year
     once things start to progress. ... You don't see too many
     team presidents around the arena all the time.  Because it's
     me, everybody expects a little bit more."  Jordan, on his
     new position: "It's so much fun" (WASHINGTON POST, 4/14).
