Why did Michael Jordan draft Kwame Brown?

[Lakers13]

Coming out of HS, he looked like a GOAT. Kwame just doesnt possess mental skills, the skills to want to thrive or make your self better.

The right coach is the one who can motivate him to start working

WTF do you mean? Did you not READ his damn reply? Kareem said Kwame simply didnt want "it". Bynum? He wants "it" which is why you see a progression. He didnt get coddled like a baby. He was blasted by the media for his myspace page...blasted by his coach, blasted by Kobe whom he looked up too. Yet as of today the kid has improved and Kwame hasnt. Yet he needs the "right" coach? And not one of you mofos knows who that is. We can go thru 100 coaches...iuf Kwame doesnt improve then the search continues?

Are we searching for lil jon benet ramsey or Kwames balls? Geeze

I think I figured it out. Kwame must have killed your kitten, or stole you ice cream cone years ago, right? Seriously, you've made your point, several times over in fact. Yet, you continue to bluster on. We all know that you think he's the worst thing to happen to the NBA since the hand-checking rule. Now, calm down before you have an aneurysm.

Shut the f*ck up. I LOVE how you ignore a blatant LIE in this thread that Kwame looked like a GOAT coming out of H.S only to fondle my nuts. You wont expose and tell that poster "You're wrong so eliminate that from out of your head", but you'll say "Hey dont correct him because you've proven us to be dumbasses already. We dont need 1 more".

Kareem exposed Cryme Brown and your thoughts?

*crickets*

Kills ya argument which is weak like Cryme Browns game.

Because he was a horrible GM.

[ForceOfNature]

Maybe he did it so he has someone who sucks playing with him, so he doesn't have to give him the ball and so he looks better.

Kareem was interviewed after the trade and said Kwame didnt want to learn, and didnt want to listen. He's been trying to work with him for years but Kwame never accepted the help. This "right coach" crap is bull****. He doesn't want to get better. This guy has had the coaching of:

Phil Jackson
Kareen abdul jabbar
Michael Jordan
Kobe Bryant
Tex Winter
Doug Collins

And still sucks. I'd like to know who this "right coach" is, cause if its not one of the best post bigmen in NBA history, its not anyone.

Don't forget Patrick Ewing.

Man, the decision to draft Kwame will hang on MJ until he dies. @ how everyone is talking about it all the time. I swear, drafting Kwame has had a negative impact on MJ's basketball IQ rep even though it has nothing to do with him as a player. What a horrible decision.

He also traded Rip for Stackhouse and drafted Adumb Morrison. Jordan is a great player but prob one of the worst GM'S ever. I'm not even sure Isiah Thomas beats him out.

[stewen12]

it wasn't a good draft. And brown had the "potential"

Well the Clippers were smart enough to trade Chandler or Curry or whoever it was for Brand and Jordan was not. Clippers! We're talking about the Clippers here and they never make smart moves. Jordan=worst GM ever.

Where can I found this interview?

Stackhouse was just coming off his best year ever though averaging 30 ppg, and leading the Pistons to 50 wins, the 2nd round, and leading them in points and assists. It didnt seem like a bad idea at the time.

Well now we know it was a stupid trade.
