Why is Michael Jordan not good at judging talent?

[Lebron23]

He's the greatest player of all time. He played with some of the best players of all time.

[HomieWeMajor]

Same reason Magic Johnson sounds like a 8 year old with learning difficulty when discussing basketball.

[Beastmode88]

GOAT basketball player. Worst basketball GM.

[oarabbus]

He's just... bad.


IT's why Larry Bird is the "Individual Basketball GOAT". Top 7 GOAT player, then a Coach of the Year and Executive of the Year.

No one will ever be as successful at the sport as Bird.

[Done_And_Done]

The greatest often can't explain how they do or did it. It's the same reason why some of the best coaches were generally high IQ role players with a rigid work ethic.

Agreed. It's his body that "betrayed" him. Based on talent, mentality and pure basketball skills he is the GOAT.

I do have to give Lebron credit for being a better judge of talent than MJ. He knows which teams to join to collude.

Same reason Isiah Thomas signed Jerome James to a 5/30 mil and Marbury to a 4/76 mil deal. Sometimes great basketball players can't put together a team.
