  NBA superhero and living legend Michael Jordan has reportedly expressed an interest in buying into the Miami Heat. I have one thing to say about this: STAY AWAY MIKE!!! You see, unless he's in his 20's or early 30's and playing for you, Michael Jordan is a curse for basketball teams. He's great for team owners, but kills basketball teams. He poisoned the Washington Wizards. As general manager of the Wiz, Jordan rode the team like a rodeo cowboy. He drafted a 17 year old High School, Kwame Brown, talent as the No. 1 draft pick and then proceeded to crush his confidence. As a player with the Wiz in Comeback II, he took too many shots, insisted on starting when he was more suited to playing off the bench and once again crushed his teammates in the locker room and on the court. After Comeback II was over and he retired for good, he was supposed to return to the head office in a management role with the Wiz, but was sacked as the owner finally recognised what this guy did to his team and then built up the cajoles to say 'no' the greatest name in basketball.
His reputation in Chicago was one of doing the same. Sam Smith's book,The Jordan Rules, tells of a bunch of times where he just rode teamates into the ground and if they didn't have any game whatsoever to answer with, they were finished. The good thing for Chicago was that Mike was at his peak and could carry just about anyone on his mighty basketball shoulders. In Washington he was well past his peak and therefore the effects of his degredation of team spirit showed on the court.
Sloppy, incoherent play and two seasons in a row where a team with Michael Jordan on it couldn't make the playoffs. urlLink Now he wants to buy into Miami . Miami had a stellar year last year. With an undersized team, Dwyane Wade - the rookie sensation point guard - managed to lead this team into the playoffs thereby exceeding all expectations. They have a chief exec in Pat Riley that knows basketball's heights and beleives in the coach he's appointed.
They have a coach with a great pedigree that stepped up to the plate in difficult circumstances last year and did a sensational job (and got rewarded too with urlLink a contract extension ). Miami have just given up a heck of a lot of talent (Lamar Odom and Caron Butler) in order to prize away urlLink Shaq from the Lakers . They're a decent forward away from being a lock for the East finals. All this potential and Mike could kill it all. Mike, come aboard if you must, but stay up in the suites and away from the locker room. Stay away from my cuz, Dwyane. Stay away from the big Diesel. He knows his game. Just bring in the money so Riles can trade for a decent power forward, OK. I love your highlight reels, I just hate your management style.
