But phuck Michael Jordan. Good job your airness. Your the greatest hoops mind to ever live.

It kind of makes sence. Being the best athlete ever got balanced out by being the worst executive. Kind of like the yin/yang

Symbolic that the Cats end the season on a 23 game losing streak.

I never recall anyone citing MJ's basketball sense. He was all athleticism and an innate, deranged will to never lose at anything. He ran rookies and bums out of practice and out of the league.

I don't ever remember someone saying, "...wow, that MJ's got a great BB mind..."

A great BB mind would not have made the come back with the Wiz.

A great BB mind would not show up at Hornet's practice in his late-40's.

It's sad, really; dude is from Brooklyn after all. <----that does have some additional irony, given the Nyets move.

The sad thing is he JUST bought the team. He's going to be there for awhile. Poor Charlotte... and I mean that. It's a great place with good people and I may move down there in the near or far future.

They were talking about it on ESPN. Jordan surrounded himself with yes men instead of trying to find the sharpest bball minds out there. He needs good executives just like he needed good teammates back in the day.

lol.. At one point, a couple of years ago, that team was starting to show some promise.

As soon as MJ bought the Bobcats, they went downhill FAST.

After all that winnin MJ did as a player, karma came knocking on his door...

Clyde made a good point during the game last night that MJ is the first player to be an owner in this league- I don't love MJ but I think it's cool that he took that step- he'll either figure out what is failing or not but it's a bigger deal to me that he's an owner. I think that part of it is cool and a good precedent.

Let's see if he dumps Silas as the scapegoat.

you mean MJ

The greatest hoops mind should never NEVER EVER run a basketball team nor run its operations

MJ would even have problems running wrestling organizations much less basketball!

Nothing wrong with strategic losing. Top three pick to build around good start.

You're joking, right? Charlotte could have stopped the so called strategic losing a long time ago and finished with the worst record.

And there's no guarantee he gets the top pick. How great would that be?

That's about the closest we'll ever get revenge on MJ. He was a great athlete in NBA and a Knicks stopper for years. The only revenge we got on him was Spree guarding his arse for his farewell game so he couldn't score and go out with a bang (you should remember how pissed he was on the court. Spree spared him no respect), but now, we also made his newly acquired team to have another record under his belt... worst record of all time. Revenge is sweet

I just hope they lose the lotto and miss out on Anthony Davis. Would hate to see Jordan rewarded for being awful

I will definitely have to look this game up. Thanks for the Spree moment.
