‘It would be unfair’ – Michael Jordan opened up on coaching ambitions and whether he can handle emotions of the job
Michael Jordan was brutally honest about his prospects of coaching. With six NBA championships, six finals MVPs, and 10 scoring titles, MJ is rated by many as the greatest of all time in the NBA. Michael Jordan and his long-time head coach Phil Jackson After being drafted by the Chicago Bulls in 1984, he won three consecutive finals from 1991 to 1993 before retiring to play in MLB. Returning in 1995, he won another three-peat in Chicago, retired again and became a part-owner and president of basketball operations for the Washington Wizards, where he made another comeback from 2001 to 2003. Jordan enjoyed a successful career spanning three decades as a player, taking the court alongside fellow greats Dennis Rodman and Scottie Pippen. His fierce competitive nature cannot be doubted, which begs the question as to why he didn’t take his knowledge and try to keep winning titles as a coach. His Airness laid it all out in brutally honest interview with Marvin R. Shanken for Cigar Aficionado. “I have no patience for coaching,” Jordan said “My biggest problem from a competitive standpoint is the focus of today’s athlete and the focus where I saw the game, how I pursued the game — it changes and it’s totally different. “For me to ask an individual to focus on the game the way I played the game, in some ways would be unfair for that kid that would have to endure that.” Jordan’s toughness can be vouched for by his teammates. Kwame Brown played alongside the 14-time All-Star with the Wizards. Michael Jordan won six NBA championships as a player “I just saw the work and the dedication. He was getting up at 39 years old. He never cheated the game,” Brown said on the Swish Cultures podcast. Jordan didn’t think he could empathize with a young kid just starting his journey – a crucial skill. “I don’t think I would have the patience for it. So in essence, coaching is something that I’ve never really felt I could do from an emotional standpoint,” the 61-year-old added “I’m much different and I have a different perception about things than what the kids do today.” While Jordan will never experience a championship as a head coach, the Bulls legend’s legacy is cemented. But there will always be a question of what could have been. Jordan’s own coach, Phil Jackson, won two championships as a player for the New York Knicks before leading the Chicago Bulls to their two three-peats and Los Angeles Lakers to five titles. The five-time MVP’s ex-teammate, Steve Kerr, is another notable example. Kerr has led the Golden State Warriors to four NBA championships, presiding over an extremely successful dynasty in San Francisco It is a team that is often compared to the Bulls he featured for from 1996-98. Kerr is just the seventh individual to win nine-plus combined championships as a player and coach.
