Editing Jerry Stackhouse (section)

===Washington Wizards (2002–2004)===
During the 2002 offseason, Stackhouse was traded to the [[Washington Wizards]] in a six-player deal, also involving [[Richard Hamilton (basketball)|Richard Hamilton]].

In his first season with Washington (2002–03), Stackhouse led the Wizards in points and assists per game with 21.5 and 4.5 respectively. Stackhouse became the only teammate to average more points per game than [[Michael Jordan]] for an entire season (Jordan averaged 20.0 points per game in 2002-03 which was his last season in the NBA). Stackhouse missed most of the [[2003–04 NBA season|2003–04 season]] while recovering from [[arthroscopic surgery]] on his right [[knee]], playing in only 26 games.

In 2020 Stackhouse stated that he regretted playing with Jordan, feeling that plays being designed primarily for an NBA legend past his prime was stalling Stackhouse's All-Star momentum.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nbcsports.com/chicago/bulls/jerry-stackhouse-wishes-he-never-played-michael-jordan-wizards|title=Jerry Stackhouse wishes he never played with Jordan for Wizards|date=April 10, 2020 }}</ref>
