    One of the things I've always wanted to do for a while now has been to do a deep dive on Michael Jordan's legacy as an executive. Let's just say it hasn't gone anywhere near as well as his time as a player. In fact, it's been outright terrible. The Hornets are merely the victims of such a man's ambition.
    Come on an adventure of hubris, cronyism, and godawful move after godawful move. Only could one of the greatest players of all time be capable of such misery. Perhaps it will end soon? Okay, that's optimistic.

    Bringing in Michael Jordan has to be one of the worst things anyone can do to an NBA franchise. How do I put this... the man is *bulletproof.* Sports superstars invariably get torn down to some extent no matter how good they are. Patrick Ewing did, Charles Barkley did, Allen Iverson did, Shaquille O'Neal did, Evander Holyfield and Steve Young and Alex Rodriguez and Greg Norman and Michelle Kwan and Chiyonofuji did. That's just how sports media is. Jordan, the only times I remember him getting any heat were during his ill-thought out stint in baseball and the story about him losing a bunch of money to some dipwad (and by "a bunch" I mean "a random number that seemed to change every freaking day"). And it was _far_ from savage. Remember that time he was on the team, rested, loaded, raring to kick butt, and the Bulls lost in 6 to the Magic? *Nothing. Freaking nothing.*
    Worse, not only is basketball seemingly afraid of tearing him down, they're absolutely _ferocious_ about tearing down everyone around him. Two words: Scottie Pippen. When was the last time you heard *anything* nice about him? It's always big whiner, overpaid, nothing without Jordan, ingrate, lucky bastard, or that time he walked off the court during the playoffs of that one doomed season. (Seriously, Bulls fans' monomaniacal obsession with that one bad moment makes Cavaliers' fans obsession with The Decision look like mild nostalgia.) Everyone throws shade at him. Colin Cowherd threw shade at him. _Rick Reilly_ threw shade at him, for crying out loud. Who's willing to even have the _discussion_ of Lebron James' GOAT credentials? Or Kobe Bryant's? Or Larry Bird's? Or Wilt Chamberlain's? When does Phil Jackson get credit for one solitary thing?
    And there are no cracks in his armor. From day one he made very sure to cultivate the image of a cool, indomitable superstar among an entire generation, and now that generation is pulling the levers of power in business and the media. They love him, and he's given them no reason to stop loving him. He's never breathed a word about any of the hot-button issues of his day. Rodney King beating? Mass shootings? President Trump? Black Lives Matter? He's not _touching_ that junk! And guess what, that means that the big businessmen, and marketers, and anyone else with real money or power in this country also loves him.
    That's who you're getting when you hire Michael Jordan, and that's _what_ you're getting. A golden god who cannot be criticized, cannot be fought, cannot be swayed, cannot be deterred, and _absolutely_ cannot be removed. All you can do smile and hope for the best. And hope. And hope. And hope...

      I mean, Pippen was a shit leader in 93-94 and 94-95 lol. Also where in a sports player’s contract does it say they have to talk about politics or hot button social issues? Maybe people want to keep their beliefs private. Maybe they’re afraid of voicing their opinions because of the media frenzy and attention it’ll get. Maybe their afraid of either side taking them out of context and painting them as something they’re not. Look at what happened to Drew Brees. He said that while he supports his teammates in their protest he isn’t going to kneel for the anthem. You can say his reasoning is silly all you want but to label him a white nationalist and Nazi is taking it to far in my opinion.

    whose here after they got Lamelo
    EDIT never mind Lamelo's supposed running mate got arrested and they brought back the guy who wasted Kemba's prime (TBF that is more so for the Hornets's awful drafting)

    Isn't it good time for Hornets revisit Tree, given how the whole kemba situation turned out, and that their future looks bright?

      Kemba had his injuries but he should regain his form on the Knicks. Hornets could be interesting if they can build around LaMelo.

    The Hornets have a talented core of young players and have a bright future ahead. They have already been a lot better this year than most people thought they would be.
