    Default Re: Michael Jordan wanted the Bulls to draft Joe Wolf over Scottie Pippen in 1987

    Jerry's record is very good - even choices like Stacy King & Perdue were traded for important pieces.
    I don't even mind Brad Sellers selection as showed an interest in versatile multi position player before Pippen & Kukoc

    He is another example. Malone was the 13th pick. No one was saying "Damn, if only we drafted Malone!" on draft night. In retrospect of course he is the best pick and the Bulls with Jordan, Pippen, Malone probably would never lose once they hit their primes but no one knew Malone was going to be great. The picks right in front of him were Oakley, Ed Pinckey, Keith Lee, Kenny Green. Right behind him Alfrederick Hughes, Blair Rasmussen, Bill Wennington, and Uwe Blab.

    That is what makes the Pippen "wasn't expected to be good" BS amusing and ironic. Pippen was highly coveted by teams drafting high and was the 5th pick. Guys like Malone, Miller, Drexler, Stockton to name a few were not top 10 picks.

    Jordan's 24/7 in your face attitude with Malone?

    LOL.

    Either Jordan or Malone would end up killed as there is no way Malone would take that kind of shit.
