Bobcats fire coach after one year.....Jordan

[ChicosBailBonds]

Has Jordan done anything exceptional as an executive or owner with the Bobcats or Wizards?  Many players don't translate well to coaches or GMs, but certainly some do (Jerry West, Kupchak, etc).

Jordan strikes me as someone that continues to struggle mightily as an executive \ owner.

Methinks you are asking a question for which you already know the answer.

No...obviously.

No ... if his name was not Michael Jordan he would be run out of town as one of the worst basketball executives in American history.  But since his name is Michael Jordan we look at the dumpster fire that are the organizations he runs and pretend we see "promise" and "improvement."

Well, he's no Isaiah Thomas, that's for sure.

I've never heard anybody, including in Chicago, every say a positive statement about Jordan as an executive.  If you could find any source describing the "promise" of a move Jordan made, I'd be very impressed.

You need to look around the league a little bit harder. There are plenty of other owners that are as bad or worse than MJ. The difference is, those guys are not household names.

You also won't find many people who have anything positive to say about Jordan as a human being.

You also won't find many people who have anything positive to say about Jordan as a human being outside of the 708, 773, 847, 630 and 312

FIFY

Not true.   Now, if you ever try to say that Oscar, Wilt, Kobe, Russell, LeBron or anyone else is a better basketball player, you would be right about the reaction in those area codes.  But people here (maybe it took the Hall of Fame acceptance speech) finally get what a jag he is as a human being.

Robert Johnson, Owner of the Bobcats

Robert Johnson sold the Bobcats to Michael Jordan over a year ago.

Rich Cho is the current GM of the team, and has done good work for the Blazers and the Thunder in the past.  How much meddling Jordan is another question.

But none of those guys are even close to Jordan.

[Sunbelt15]

Jordan needs to take notes from Larry Bird and hire some competence. He needs someone who can mold young talent.

Agreed, we're talking about a guy who used top 3 picks on Kwame Brown, and Adam Morrison.

Exceptional? He hasn't even done anything adequate. He's terrible.
