He admits it is a wish, but Larry Brown seriously wants Michael Jordan to join the 76ers, so much so that he is willing to hand Jordan his title as vice president of player personnel.

Jordan could not be reached for comment yesterday. But Brown had plenty to say about his fellow North Carolina Tar Heel, who was dismissed from the Washington Wizards last week after a two-year playing career.

In Brown's estimation, Jordan could have a huge impact on Allen Iverson and the rest of the players, and would help him become a better coach.
