But he did lose to the NOLA Hornets in his last game in the Hive.

Was there. It was like his farewell tour. Had a bit of a standing ovation at the end of the game (I remember he didn't shoot real well). It was odd because he didn't play a bunch of games in NOLA (I know about the Final Four when he was at UNC)...but, I guess it was just all around respect coming out there.

I was there too. Couple of rows from the Wizards bench after sneaking down to those seats from the $120 nose bleed seats I had. They showed a highlight/tribute video during some timeout late in the game. MJ was going at it with the coach about something and everyone else in the arena outside of those 2 people were watching the tribute video.
I remember Ewing and Oakley watching, as they appeared in the famous Knick dunk, Byron Russell watching as he made his appearance in the video. everyone was watching in awe, even though we saw all those dunks and plays hundreds of times. All the Wizards and Hornets players and coaches were watching it.
MJ had 20 points on 8 of 23 shooting.
