Which former Bull is doing a worse job?


Michael Jordan and Steve Kerr weren’t comparable on the court. MJ is arguably the greatest player ever while Kerr was a role player. In the front office they are in a neck and neck race to see who is worse. Michael’s first pick with the Wizards was Kwame Brown. Bust. Kwame is currently a part time starter with the Pistons and is a role player at best. So what does MJ follow up that great pick with when he goes to Charlotte, Adam Morrison. Bust. Today he was traded to the Lakers with Shannon Brown for Vladimir Radmanovic. Couldn’t play defense and looked like a 70s porn star. Jordan could have drafted Rudy Gay or Brandon Roy. Very bad judge of talent. Then he brings in Larry Brown who can’t work with young guys and the whole team is young guys. Larry will gut the team, get bored, burn bridges and leave. Maybe Mike should go with him.

Steve Kerr is ruining what was the most entertaining team in the NBA. First he brings in Shaq for the Matrix. While Shaq has more let in the tank than people thought he did talk about a horrible fit for that team and style of play. Shaq is one of the most dominant players in half courts sets but getting that huge body up and down the court is not what he was meant for. Like putting a huge anchor on a speed boat. Then he runs Mike D out of town because he believes that defense wins titles not fast break offense. While that may or may not be true Phoenix was arguably a few suspended players or an injured Joe Johnson for getting to the finals. This team now resembles the current Bulls. Misfit players and no true identity. Latest rumors say they are shopping Amare Stoudemire. A few years ago Amare was a beast and now he looks confused, unmotivated and stuck trying to get out of Shaq’s way. Now if it was me I would bank my teams fortune on the young stud not someone in the twilight of their career.

While neither guy is nearly as bad as Isiah Thomas both are headed down that road.
