Case No. 30, Michael Jordan
From the Page 2 mailbag

Air Jordan, His Airness, MJ and "Be Like Mike" just don't capture the new Michael Jordan, so Page 2 wants to find an up-to-date moniker for the Wizards superstar.

In the latest case of The Berman Files we asked you to send us your suggestions for a new nickname for the cerebral, jump-shooting and somewhat ground-bound 38-year-old guard who has turned around Washington.

Since Thursday we've received more than 1,800 e-mails. Check out the best ideas below, and vote in the poll at right for the nickname you think fits Jordan best.
