I really can't take anything Michael Jordan says about basketball seriously.
He obviously doesn't know shyt about today's players or he wouldn't be constantly associated with the worst teams in the league.
Indivudual knowledge of the game and being able to put together a team doesnt mean a player can be guaranteed to succeed at either. You have plenty of great players who cant coach a team and plenty of great coaches who couldn't cut it as a player. I wouldnt question jordans knowledge of the game from a player standpoint but he's obviously not a g.m.
I'm not talking about coaching. I'm talking about thinking Kwame Brown and Adam Morrison could ball. That's about evaluating talent and he's proved to be the worst in the sport when it comes to that.

The announcers gush about LeBron, mentioning him in the same sentence with Jordan, who hears every word. Those words have an effect on him. He stares at the TV and points out a flaw in LeBron's game.
"I study him," he says.
"When LeBron goes right, he usually drives; when he goes left, he usually shoots a jumper. It has to do with his mechanics and how he loads the ball for release. "So if I have to guard him," Jordan says, "I'm gonna push him left so nine times out of 10, he's gonna shoot a jump shot. If he goes right, he's going to the hole and I can't stop him. So I ain't letting him go right."
Amazing
