His Airness Michael Jordan

[MangNyakis]

MJ the player = GREATEST OF ALL TIME

 

MJ the team executive = cant say he's the worst. that title goes to isaiah tomas when he was with the knicks. But mj sucks as a team executive.

[Guest demon nick fury]

Oh yeah, as a team executive MJ is obviously the worst. And one of the results is his languishing Bobcats. He is actually losing millions a year because he's not able to manage Bobcats well.

^^ The Bobcats may be losing money, but the value of the franchise has almost doubled since MJ bought a majority stake in the team 3 years ago. If Jordan decides to sell the team now, he would earn approx. $140 million from his original investment of $175 million. Talk about being a bad executive! As usual, MJ will have the last laugh ...

Excerpts from Phil Jackson's Book - Eleven Rings: The Soul Of Success - where he was asked to compare MJ & Kobe

 

"One of the biggest differences between the two stars from my perspective was Michael's superior skills as a leader," Jackson writes. "Though at times he could be hard on his teammates, Michael was masterful at controlling the emotional climate of the team with the power of his presence. Kobe had a long way to go before he could make that claim. He talked a good game, but he'd yet to experience the cold truth of leadership in his bones, as Michael had in his bones."

 

"No question, Michael was a tougher, more intimidating defender," Jackson writes. "He could break through virtually any screen and shut down almost any player with his intense, laser-focused style of defense."

 

"In general, Kobe tends to rely more heavily on his flexibility and craftiness, but he takes a lot of gambles on defense and sometimes pays the price." On offense, Jackson said: "Jordan was also more naturally inclined to let the game come to him and not overplay his hand, whereas Kobe tends to force the action, especially when the game isn't going his way. When his shot is off, Kobe will pound away relentlessly until his luck turns. Michael, on the other hand, would shift his attention to defense or passing or setting screens to help the team win the game."

 

"Michael was more charismatic and gregarious than Kobe," Jackson writes. "He loved hanging out with his teammates and security guards, playing cards, smoking cigars, and joking around.

 

"Kobe is different. He was reserved as a teenager, in part because he was younger than the other players and hadn't developed strong social skills in college. When Kobe first joined the Lakers, he avoided fraternizing with his teammates. But his inclination to keep to himself shifted as he grew older. Increasingly, Kobe put more energy into getting to know the other players, especially when the team was on the road."

He was the greatest during his time. But that was then. Obviously Kobe is not comparable to him. But soon someone else can become much better than Jordan. Will it be LeBron? Or someone else in the future?

[jepoyskieLOVEbianca]

IMHO, kung may makakasunod sa yapak ni MJ, sa ngayon, si LBJ lang yun...

[philcute007]

yes LBJ may be the next MJ! but there will be always ONE MICHAEL JORDAN!

[Agent Maria Hill]

Michael Jordan? for me he's my idol and he's the best player of the universe.

[Delta Frost]

He is the best. And the god of basketball.

[philcute007]

One and only MICHAEL JORDAN!!!
