Eddie Jordan did not mention the matter of appealing to the league in the end. This kind of shit is really too common in the NBA. Eddie Jordan should even be thankful, because Charlotte and Washington D.C. The distance from Dayton is not very far. If the Wizards come to Charlotte one day earlier, maybe those crazy Charlotte fans will hold a special rock concert downstairs of the hotel they are staying in.

Vujacic heard that during the Finals between the Philadelphia 76ers and the Los Angeles Lakers, one of the Philadelphia 76ers came to Los Angeles to play an away game. As a result, the Lakers invited local Chinese to play a game under the hotel where the 76ers stayed. Dragon Dance Competition.

During the warm-up training, an uninvited visitor came to the sidelines. He sat on the sidelines like no one else, and watched the Wizards training with great interest.

The god of basketball, Michael Jordan!

All over the world, it is estimated that not many people will not know him.

When talking about the best NBA player in history, there are only two or three names on the stage. Chamberlain, who averaged 30 points and 23 rebounds per game in his career, has always been the favorite of some people. Kobe will also have a few supporters , Skyhook and Magician's names will also be mentioned, and the Celtics' Bird and Lord of the Rings Bill Russell are also figures worthy of discussion.

There may be others, but the vast majority will end up awarding Michael Jordan the best basketball player of all time.

Jordan's career began when he was selected with the No. 1984 overall pick in 3 until he hung up his boots in 2003. During this period, he retired three times. Air Jordan averaged more than 3 points per game in his career and won six gold medals. Championship rings, 30 MVPs, 6 scoring champions, 5 All-Star MVPs, and so on.

As a player, Jordan's achievements are naturally indisputable. The title of the god of basketball is not given away by others, but one game after another.

However, the transformation from player to team manager made Jordan fall from the altar step by step.

Facts have also proved that Jordan is not a god who turns stones into gold. In fact, since he retired, he has done more things that turn gold into shit.

As the manager of the team, Jordan's first stop is the Washington Wizards where Vujacic is now playing.

During that time, he made two important shots. First, in February 2001, he sent Juwan Howard, who was on a seven-year, $2 million contract and was continually booed by fans, to Dallas in February 7. A handsome salary, the Wizards were in deep trouble at the time, and his magic pen created a very good salary flexibility for the team. Unfortunately, in the memory of the people of Washington, D.C., he is not at all like this The wise and powerful.

The reason is that he picked Kwame Brown with the No. 2001 pick in the [-] draft, causing the team to return to pre-liberation overnight.

That year's draft conference contributed a lot of parallel imports Eddie Griffin, Garner Diop, and Rodney White. These are all top 10 players, but it is still this sentence: Kwame. Brown, Kwame Brown of the grass mud horse.

People may not know until now, why Jordan took a fancy to Kwame Brown, maybe it was just because the child's physical fitness was so strong that it was abnormal, but didn't the flying man notice that the child had a problem with his head and his eyes fluttered , When playing on the court, do you often lose your mind?
Perhaps Jordan also quickly discovered that Kwame Brown was unreliable. In order to make up for his mistakes, Jordan couldn't help but play again, and began to complain that the team didn't have enough talent. Of course, this team was in charge of him. Formed, and when he retired for the third time, the team's big boss Pauline also closed the door on him.

Not to mention how bad Jordan's ability to manage the team is, just the vision of selecting people is so poor that people are speechless. He has a lot of glory on the court, but his performance as an NBA team manager is really a mess.

Choosing Kwame Brown and missing Pau Gasol is a classic case. Vujacic also knows that Jordan will make mistakes again and again in many drafts in the future.

Jordan was fired last year by the Wizards owner Pauline, and now he can't bear the loneliness and has become the second largest shareholder of the underdog Bobcats (in fact, Jordan only took a stake in the Bobcats in 2006, so here is a change).

At the beginning, Jordan was quite honest, and it seemed that he really wanted to enjoy the fun of being the owner of the team, but when the 2006 draft was held, Jordan started to toss again, holding the third overall pick in the draft, but For the Bobcats, Morrison, who is known as the "Bird second", missed the super rookie king Roy who will make the wind and rain in Portland in the future.

Morrison was really good at mid-range and long-range shots in college. Unfortunately, he is a serious type I diabetic. When the game is suspended, he often needs to inject insulin on the sidelines. This is clearly written in the scout report. NBA The confrontation in the game was so fierce. Later, in the game, Morrison's weakness of lack of confrontation was exposed. As a result, he was nicknamed "Mo Yizhong", and he often only scored 1 goal in a game.

Later, Morrison suffered a torn ligament in his left knee and did not play a game for more than a year. Although he returned from injury, his performance was mediocre.

However, Roy, the top star of the Trail Blazers, has made rapid progress, and finally grew into an All-Star star. You must know that Roy studied at the University of Washington before landing in the NBA. Jordan was in Washington. The general manager seems to have never paid attention to Roy.

Of course, what happened to Morrison hasn't happened yet. Although there is the stain of Kwame Brown, Jordan is still full of ambitions for his future as a manager.

But in fact, the marriage between Jordan and the Bobcats almost died at first. When receiving the invitation from Johnson, the boss of the Bobcats, Jordan was very hesitant. Later, the negotiations between the two parties did not go smoothly. The main reason is that , Jordan wants to be the big boss of the team, not just a partner.

This idea has troubled Johnson for a long time. Johnson is the big boss of the Bobcats. The only way to work with Jordan is to obey Jordan, but this is impossible.

The Bobcats were created by Johnson at a cost of [-] million U.S. dollars, and even the name of the team took great pains to include his own nickname in it. The Bobcats are called "Bob the Cat" in Charlotte.

According to Johnson's original idea, Jordan could take up any position in the team, but he could not hold absolute control. However, Jordan had suffered enough from the big boss Paulin in Washington, and refused to go back to the old way.

Mutual uncompromising is good news for some people. A minority shareholder of the Bobcats said that the only benefit of Jordan's arrival is to stimulate the team's box office. Obviously, although people sympathize with Jordan's career in Washington Encounter, but in upper management circles, Jordan is a failed manager.

But just when people thought that Jordan and the Bobcats had nothing to do with each other, Jordan suddenly announced that he had become the second largest shareholder of the team and would not hold any position in the team. This is obviously what Johnson would like to see. influence without worrying about Jordan seizing power.

But as a time traveler, Vujacic is very clear that Jordan is not a law-abiding person. In the future, he did successfully seize the rights from Tapscott, the current president of the Bobcats in 2006.

But after he came back to power, Jordan's management of the team was still a mess. He made Rod Higgins, who had played with him in the Chicago Bulls, serve as the general manager, and then promoted Higgins to the team's president of basketball operations. Joe succeeds Higgins as general manager.

Then, he insisted on picking the diabetic Adam Morrison with the No. [-] lottery.

As the most successful player in NBA history, Jordan's personality is too strong. When he manages the team, he likes to dominate the team and insists on going his own way. These characteristics are fully reflected in the draft.

Jordan chose Kwame Brown with the No. 2001 pick in 2006. It turned out that Brown was just a parallel importer. He chose Morrison in [-], which was also a failure.

Vujacic knew of countless tricks of Jordan. For example, in 2007, he offered Matt Carroll a six-year, 6 million contract. Vujacic in his previous life was shocked at the time.

In 2008, Jordan picked Augustin with the 9th pick. Of course, Augustin is not a bad player, but he is not a great player either. After four seasons in Charlotte, he averaged 27 minutes per game in his career. Scoring 10.5 points and sending 4.5 assists, the results are not bad, but the problem is that Brook Lopez was picked at the next pick that year, making Jordan's choice look even more tragic.

In the draft of the same year, Jordan also picked Alexis Ajinca with the 20th overall pick. The center played in Charlotte for two seasons and averaged 3 points and 1.5 rebounds per game in his career.If outside the lottery, there is a high chance that the drafted player will become a parallel importer, then please think about Courtney Lee, Serge Ibaka, Nicolas Batum, George Hill, and Dare Al Arthur was selected between the 21st and 28th picks that year. Jordan's eyes must have turned a corner at that time.

Still in 2008, the Bobcats sent Jason Richardson and Jared Dudley to the Suns in exchange for Raja Bell and Boris Diaw. This deal was full of mistakes and omissions. First, Charlotte gave up Lost the best player in the trade and didn't get anything needed in return.Second, Dudley was a solid young player, but they threw him away as an addition, and third, Diaw was back with a five-year, $5 million contract that ended up being a job everyone shunned. Although Vujacic does not have the talent to be a manager, he at least knows the simple truth that "trading is for profit". He has never seen his best player sent away for nothing like Jordan. But in exchange for players who can't help anything, and also lock the team's future salary space deal.

In 2009, Jordan became more and more tossed and went too far. He sent away Matt Carroll and Ryan Hollins, but returned Garner Diop from the Mavericks. This deal itself was a garbage contract swap, but the problem Yes, only Charlotte can do it, that is, they actually exchanged for a more rubbish contract.Diop's contract goes up every year and Carroll's goes down every year. Both contracts end after next season, but Charlotte's going to pay the guy almost $740 million. It is more than double that of Carol.Vujacic really wanted to ask: Why, Michael?Why?Are you out of your mind?
Next, the Bobcats traded Shannon Brown and Adam Morrison for Radmanovic. When the deal was finalized, Morrison was worthless, but Brown was traded for Radmanovich. Vitch is still a bug.Brown became a very productive bench player in the Lakers, while Radmanovic disappeared in Charlotte. It is true that Brown was just a backup in Charlotte, but what purpose did they want to get Radmanovic? Manovic, until the rebirth of Vujacic is still a mystery.

By 2010, people were used to Jordan's stupidity, and this year was also the year when Jordan brought his stupidity to the extreme. The Bobcats took Philip Murray, Ice Law, and a protected first-rounder Signed and sent to the Bulls in exchange for Tyrus Thomas, this is definitely a day that will be nailed to the Bobcats' pillar of shame. This deal is so tragic, especially how sad the protected first-round pick is. .In other words, if the Bobcats get the 12th pick or above in the second year, they can keep this pick, and so on, 2014 is the top 10 protection, 2015 is the top 8 protection , when their pick falls out of protection for the first time, this pick will go to Chicago, but if Chicago still does not get its hands on this pick before 2016, this will become an unprotected first team. Round pick, which means that the Bulls will get the first round of the Charlotte Bobcats in 2016. No matter how high the pick is, maybe the Bobcats will have a 180-degree turn similar to the Seattle SuperSonics. Not as valuable, but what if they get the No. 2016 pick in [-]?
Also in 2010, Bobcats traded Tyson Chandler and Alexis Ajinka for Eric Dampier, Matt Carroll, and Eduardo Najera, Jordan This move obviously freed up cap space, and the Bobcats immediately waived Dampier's non-guaranteed contract, but the price of doing so was too high, and Charlotte did not use the free cap space to fill the gap after Chandler left. Vacant, and he went on to become the backbone of the Mavs' defense and win a championship.

Vujacic really wanted to persuade Jordan that in order to maintain his glorious image as the god of basketball, he should just be a casual boss with peace of mind, and don't play any fight for power and profit, and ruin his fame for a lifetime, but Obviously, for the overconfident Jordan, he can't listen to anyone's persuasion, and it seems that Vujacic has no such obligation.

After training, the Wizards were going back to the locker room. When Vujacic walked to the sidelines, Jordan suddenly stood up.

"Hey! Rookie! Stop!"

Vujacic was taken aback, then ignored him, and walked directly into the player tunnel. He was the only rookie on the Wizards team. The other rookies were either assigned to the Development League, or they were not included in the team's roster at all.

But even if you are the god of basketball, you are not so frightened, stop!I'm not your player, who is the tone of this order for! ?

Jordan was also a little surprised to see that Vujacic ignored him. You must know that he is the idol of countless young players. Seriously.

Losing face, Jordan also wanted to leave, but after thinking about it, he chased after Vujacic: "Don't you want to talk to me?"

There was a smile on Jordan's face, but Vujacic saw it in his eyes, and he still felt domineering, which made Vujacic very upset.

But Jordan is Vujacic's idol. He held back his anger and stopped: "Sorry, I don't know what we can talk about? The game is about to start. At this time, I don't want to talk to my opponent!"

And your sister really has character!
Vujacic originally thought that he would be very excited when he saw Jordan, but in fact he saw it. Instead, he thought it was just that, nothing special at all. Jordan was not handsome, with a fat body, and even It's hard to imagine that the black man in front of him is the basketball god who shocked everyone on the basketball court back then.

Jordan smiled. Although Vujacic's words were disrespectful, Jordan admired Vujacic's character. Back then, he was the same. When he was still a rookie, he dared to point at the accomplished smiling assassin Thomas and scold the street.

"Don't be nervous, I don't have it, I just want to ask, is it possible for us to join forces?"

Vujacic frowned: "What do you mean?"

Jordan did not shy away from the Wizards players who passed by them: "It's very simple. If you come to the Bobcats and we join forces, the Wizards are not your best choice at all. In the Wizards, no matter how ambitious you are, you can't achieve it. Lin is a good man, but he is not a generous boss. Without a group of capable teammates, it is impossible for you to get ahead in the league. So, you come to Bobcats, a rookie king, a rookie in the league, Don't you think this combination is great?"

great! ?
Really great!

It will be even better when you cheat the young master too!

At the beginning, Vujacic really didn’t want to come to the Bobcats and lead this new league army to become famous in the NBA. Jasic was terrified.

Vujacic smiled: "This proposal is very attractive, but ~~~~~ I am not interested!"
