Jordan's two biggest mistakes....

Peach of GA said 05/11, 08:02 PM
-Playing baseball after his dad died

-taking Kwame Brown number 1 in the nba draft

Reasons for the playing baseball are this, he wasn't good at all. Yes, the Baron's probably recieved incredible amounts of revenue for sure but Jordan let Hakeem take over the nba and Jordan could have had up to 8 titles. Not that he ruined his legacy or anthing.

Jordan taking Kwame Brown hurt his managerial decisions and people made opinions. Taking Kwame hurt the franchise and showed Jordan coudn't conquer every aspect.

-His gambling problem and his downfall with his wife are just about what any normal american deals with. Maybe not the gambling but keeping families intact are hard sometimes. Jordan playing baseball was pointless and taking Kwame was TOO.

I'm going to say his two biggest mistakes were playing baseball and making a comeback with the wizards.

The comeback with the wizards was a mistake because he wasn't the same player. You could notice it in his shots and the way he ran. He was just too old. The two years he player he only averaged 22.9 and 20 ppg which were his 2 lowest totals in his career by almost 6 points a game. He came back to play for a team that wasen't good and had no shot of winning a title. Jordan has always been about winning and when he came back that didn't seem to matter anymore. I know he thought he could still play and, well he could, but not at the top player he once was. He was just average at best. Both seasons he played they failed to eve make the playoffs. He never should have comeback because everyone will always remember those two mediocre years that he didn't even make the playoffs in. His legacy was set before that, but he had to comeback and not really taint it, but people will defiantly remember that comeback...and not for a good reason.

MJ returning to basketball was GREAT. I did no go the way he wanted but i'm sure if was fun for Washington as a whole. Jordan was the oldest nba player ever to get 40 points. Jordan brought fun back to Wizards basketball. They were missing that. I'm sure the owner of the Wizard's didn't mind either. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$Brining the legendary number 23 to any city is GREAT. trust me

Back to Kwame. He is manager of operations for the Charlotte Bobcats. A couple teams dissed Jordan's decision making by getting Kwame. Kwame hasn't averaged in double digits in his tenure in the nba. Bad move Jordan. Jordan ruined their number 1 pick. bottom line
