The great basketball exec Jordan passed on Jason Richardson, Pau Gasol, Tony Parker, Bobby Simmons and Gil Arenas for # 1 overall pick Kwame Brown . "We don't know what this kid is capable of doing, that's the beauty of why we drafted him," Michael Jordan said, in one of the all-time best quotes. "We don't know. In a couple of years he may be a star."
Uhh, or maybe not. Dumbass.
His next high profile pick was (not Brandon Roy or Rudy Gay) but Adam Morrison with the # 3 overall pick for the Bobcats who turned into one of the biggest busts in modern history and was traded for a handful of magic beans. What a great evaluator of talent.
