With today being Michael Jordan's birthday, I have heard a lot of debates about whether his legacy has been tarnished due to his poor GM skills. Jordan has been less than spectacular as a general manager, however, to suggest that this will ruin his legacy is asinine. The man is the best to ever play the sport and his years as a player will never be forgotten. I have heard a lot of comparisons to Isaiah Thomas as well as Matt Millen. Both had great careers as players but failed on the business side of their sport. First off, these comparisons are completely invalid because as I previously stated, Michael is the best. Neither Millen nor Thomas, despite being great players, were at Jordan's level. Comparisons between two careers should have no impact on a legacy. Phenomenal player, bad general manager. That is what it should be left at. Ill leave with this: 30.1 ppg in regular season, 10 scoring titles, and most importantly, 6 rings. These accolades simply cannot be erased nor forgotten.
