Okay I am not one to bash Michael Jordan but I call them as I see them. Jordan owns the Bulls and they stink. Isaiah owns the Knicks and they stink. It appears to me that neither one of them cares. Seeing Jordan in the skybox during the Bull's loss to the Cavs made me wonder. Why isn't he angry? He seems so content. The same goes for Thomas. These two owners aren't interested in winning. Why should they be when their teams make money anyway and probably wouldn't if they were to invest in quality talent. Am I crazy or am I on to something here?

Talent on the court, doesn't equal talent in the board room...these guys would not be The Donald's pick for next Apprentice.

Jordan wasn't angry because-
A.- If the Bulls win without him on the court, in his mind it will somehow lessen his legacy?
B. The place was sold out , despite the fact that the team is going nowhere?
C. He had bet 2 million dollars with someone, probably one of the casino owners whom he is pals with, that the Bulls wouldn't cover that night?
D. He couldn't believe, after his Washington debacle, that he is still associated in an administrative position in the NBA?
E. All of the above.

Hint-there is no wrong answer here!

Firstly, i think you can give His Airness a bit of a break here. What Jerry Reinsdorf did to the Bulls after the Jordan Era was enough to kill them for years. Me, i still can't believe they didn't do everything they could to keep Elton Brand.

Comparing Isiah to any other front-office type (including Mitch Kupchak, The Man Who Traded Shaq) in the NBA today is utterly unfair. Isiah's moves are breathtaking in their badness, and he has decimated the Knicks in a way no team has experienced since the 1920 Chicago White Sox (or possibly the 1998 Florida Marlins).

As in his playing days, Isiah is still untouchable...

I would say i would much rather see jordan and isiah on the court than at the desk which they both cannot handle
