Charlotte Hornets could have drafted Lillard, Lavine, Booker, Mitchell, Giannis, CJ

[Lebron23]

If only they have a competent team owner, and front office. Team Jordan loves drafting a bunch of stiffs, and under achievers. I think Kemba Walker was the only good player they drafted in the past 10 years.

Michael Jordan is one of the worst talent evaluators in the history of organized basketball.

Reverting back to the hornets name in 2014 was also a bad move

Jordan is one of the biggest failures in basketball history

His horrible executive decision making far outweighs and overshadows his career as a player

Nike really did an unbelievable job marketing him as a winner and creating Jordan brand. Hed be on a street corner without Nike

The average person has no idea he owns an NBA team.

The average person has no idea he owns an NBA team.

The average person doesn't know who Bobby Jones is

Doesn't mean he wasn't arguably the best golfer ever

Doesn't mean Jordan isn't the biggest failure ever due to his incomptence as an owner

When the bar is set at what the 'average person' knows, you've already lost

The Hornets front office wasted a lot of good first round picks. Jordan better hire a good talent scout instead of just looking at the mock drafts of espn, draftexpress, and nba draft net.

The Hornets are the only eastern conference team who never advance in the nba finals.

Being a great executive makes Jerry West top 5 then I guess?

Most great athletes are not really good at coaching/management, because their process/competitiveness doesn't translate to non-athletic endeavours.

I'm pretty sure Michael Jordan sucks at playing Fortnite too ... I couldn't care less.

The other thing is the owner should not be making your freaking draft picks either. That's the job of the scouting department and the GM.

It is funny he still doesn't give Krause credit and his doc was full of shots at the deceased Krause who couldn't fight back. MJ of all people should know the value of having a competent front office as he benefited immensely from it and then saw how bad it can get. The Hornets are basically the Knicks in a smaller market with an owner who is worshiped by the basketball media. If they were in a bigger market or had any other owner (or a combo of the two), they would be ripped for being terrible. The NBA gave Charlotte a franchise and it has been nothing but a tomato can (meanwhile Seattle has no team). The Hornets/Bobcats add zero value to the league.

The league isn't worth sh*t if Jordan didn't elevate to the level he brought it to, every player in the league today should be kissing his ass.

There's lots of losers with 1/20th of the ability making tens of millions of dollars in career earnings and lots of bozos like Donald Sterling who saw their franchise valuations sky rocket into the billions despite doing nothing to deserve it.

No player in any pro sport has taken a relatively janky junk tier league with a bad image and turned it into a billion dollar business empire.

If he wants to jerk off for the rest of his career he's more than earned it, he doesn't owe anyone in the NBA a goddamn thing.

Jordan has spent all of these years trying to prove to Jerry Krause that he could build a championship team better than Krause did.

He has been a major failure.

I'm confident that LeBron will buy the Cavs (or some other team) and win a championship as an owner before Jordan does.

Why mention an idol of yours in a thread about an incompetent team owner? 🥴

Sucks to see you having the need to include him in your narrative when it's completely unnecessary.

GOAT level basketball skill doesn't always translate to GOAT level executive.

Yeah nobody is perfect... some players are legendary at basketball skills but absolutely terribe at being a GM... coaching etc.

He wanted to draft Kenny Smith and Joe Wolf instead of Pippen, Grant too. He should be thanking Krause each day for not listening to him. :oldlol:

Pippen and Grant wouldn't have panned out anywhere else. Kenny Smith in his prime was actually extremely decent on the Kings at least. Pippen and Grant were the lucky ones, not MJ.

How are MJ's picks "panning out" in DC and Charlotte? :roll:

But all those teams would be able to point to good picks they made in response.
