"Game 3. Reshuffle the deck. Now, it's Jordan, his own draft choice,
Bobby Simmons out of DePaul, Shelley Clark from Illinois, recent Wiz
acquisition Courtney Alexander and Antoine Walker." 

"Chandler grabs a rebound and dunks so hard that Jordan, who is
underneath, flinches, covers his head and backs away: 9-8, dark shirts.
Michael limps       noticeably now, but he wants this. He takes a shot,
misses, rebounds, taps, misses. The old Mike would have finished it, but
today it takes Walker to tip in the third rebound and tie the game. Next
shot wins.

The ball comes to Penny. He dribbles, fakes, rises up and hits an
18-footer over Jordan. Ball game. Mike is breathing hard. Mike is beat."

Game 7

"...Behind the play comes that familiar head-down, furrowed-forehead
stare and machine-gun mouth firing nasty shots at the ref. The game
resumes. Howard misses a shot. The other guys bring the ball downcourt.
Walker, the smooth, purported point-guard-to-be, buries a long jumper
and that's all she wrote. Jordan's boys lose, 10-8. The emperor still
fumes, but it's over for today."

So in at least one game Antoine was on Jordan's team, and helped it win
with a key tip-in and played against Jordan's team later and beat them
with a long jumper.
