His Failness

There's a tragedy going on in basketball and nationally it's not being talked about. The greatest player ever to play basketball is the owner of the Charlotte Bobcats and they are terrible. Michael Jordan is arguably the greatest basketball player the NBA has ever seen. Dunk contest, scoring titles, finals MVP's, one time defensive POY award, 3 times steals champion, 5 times NBA MVP, 6 time NBA champion, starting guard on NBA's best team record 72-10 team, and the most transcendent player the league has ever seen. Michael Jordan is the biggest star the NBA has ever seen in it's history that includes players with more championships and higher stats than him. Naturally you would think Jordan is Mr. Basketball but for some mysterious reason, he isn't. As an executive with the wizards Jordan claimed he was 99.9% done playing, he also managed to dump some high and toxic contracts. One epic fail was trading RIP Hamilton and Ben Wallace. Another blunder was drafting Kwame Brown who never panned out like other high school to pro players. With former Bulls coach Doug Collins coaching the, and a new softer and spoil league, the stage was set for Jordan to return again. The President of basketball operations for the wizards, who had complete control of the teams basketball direction was coming back to play basketball. Jordan played two solid but less than stellar years with the Wizards and retired a third time. Shortly after retiring Wizards owner Abe Polin fired Jordan from President of basketball operation position. Jordan felt betrayed and sold his share of the Washington Wizards. In 2006 Jordan became a minority owner of the Charlotte Bobcats and hold the same position he previously had with the Wizards. More questionable moves came such as trading Gerald Wallace and drafting Adam Morrison, but Jordan wasn't deterred. In 2010 Jordan became the first NBA player to become a majority owner of an NBA team. More controversy came when Jordan along with a group of owners wanted to implement a hard salary cap in the 2011 lockout. Jordan was also heard in an owners meeting telling his former boss, and Wizards owner Abe Polin to sell his team if he couldnt make a profit. None of Jordans teams ever took of and competed they way a Michael Jordan would compete. For some reason some of the greatest basketball players come into executive positions and tank at the job. It's not all good players, some turn out great like former Piston Joe Dumars, NBA emblem Jerry West, and Larry legend bird. Others like Steve Kerr, Magic Johnson, and Michael Jordan didn't do so well. I honestly believe players like Jordan and Magic search for something that 99 players out of 100 hundred wouldn't have. It's like Jordan searches for more than just basketball skill, I also think he over emphasize heart, skill, and the determination a player from the rough 80's would need. These players play a new style of basketball but they still play basketball. Jordan needs to find good basketball scouts, coaches, and players, by focusing on good basketball skill, decision, and talent. leave the hall of fame stuff to the hall of famers.
