Barkley states the truth!

We all knew it. Obviously Higgins has been a sizable piece of this problem. I think the hiring of Cho is a positive step in the right direction but Jordan needs a better supporting cast and Higgins needs to be away from it.

The one thing Jordan needs to work and prove is that he can market and make someone else besides him the "star of the show". I think he really struggles with that. He's always been the guy on every team he played on, he's always been the guy post-career, he's just always been the guy. So as an exec for him to pool all his resources into another player and make him the "face" of his business is foreign to him. I think thats part of why he struggles. Its a lot easier when you're always the "face". Even in Washington there was no superstar, he eventually came back and started playing. It should also be noted none of the Team Jordan employees like Ray Allen, Cp3, Melo, etc show any interest in working for him as players. Jordan gets in his own way as an exec because of his assholish demeanor (that fans might not care about but players and agents do) and his inability/resistance to put the spotlight on someone else.

Barkley couldn't have said this at a better time, as right now many people are trying to get their voices heard from MJ and get the Hornets name back. All the fans want is someone that will listen and strive to be competitive.

I'm sure MJ wants to be competitive and win but he must realize it'll only happen through the draft. The draft, however, is a complete crapshoot. Not very often does a Durant, LeBron, Melo, CP3, etc...come along and when they do sometimes boneheaded the still miss. Only LeBron was a #1 pick. Durant went 2nd and everyone thought Down wad the next great center. Melo I think went 3rd behind Darko. CP3 went 4th. Really how many can't miss draft picks at #1 were there? LeBron, Duncan, ???

CP3 should be ours! f'in hornets traded up. The only major dumbass move was Adam Morrison.

No he would have been ours if Bickerstaff agreed to trade 5 and 13. He wanted 2 players in the draft...so he got Felton and May. Horrible move.
