My Thoughts on Kwame,Mj,and Washington Kwame will be a good player,but the guy came from High School,where he was a Big Fish in a small pond,he's 18,he's still a kid at heart,the kid is from Nowheretown in Georgia,he lives in an apartment with someone Jordan put in charge to basically babysit him for the wizards,the kid didn't even know how to grocery shop,but thats off topic,oh yea,and he didn't know that Jerry West is the guy pictured in the NBA LOGO,truly sad.But Kwame was another classic example of an athlete who's was not ready,being thrusted into the Limelight before he was ready. Jordan and that Idiot Doug Collins killed his confidence from day 1, they expected him to help basically carry a sup par team to the 1 seed in the playoffs.Washington is not a patient place to be,people are pissed off by the local sports teams and their losing ways and are by all means STARVED FOR A WINNER.Michael Jordan and Doug Collins took many shots at him during practices,games,and any other occasion,prolly even in on the jet plane,or bathroom too,resulting in extreme stress on Kwame,a breakout of stress related acne,and basically everything just short of a Mental Breakdown altogether.Michael Jordan is a great person/player but he is not that concerned with others feelings AKA Visit Steve Kerr and Horace Grant in the early 90s.Michael Jordan will ride you if you let him,and thats exactly what he did to Kwame.When Mj left,1,000 lbs of pressure were lifted from Kwame's shoulders, and when Doug Collins was fired the other 1,000 lbs were lifted from his shoulders. Remember at times Kwame has shown flashes of brilliance,and he has a bright future,remember if he had went to college he'd just now be junior goin into this season.Now that the pressure is gone or in someways it has atleast been minimized he will play much better.He no longer has to live with the Burden of taking MJ to the playoffs for the final time.Remember early in the season last year,he was playing very well,with 10 point games and a couple blocks a game,making it appear that he had finally hit his stride.So now that the front office has been cleared out or is headed in that direction,and the Wizards clean up their mess,we can expect Kwame to play a little more consistent.The same thing would've happened to Amare or anybody else forced to play along side the Greatest Player Of All time for 2 straight sell out seasons,if MJ wants to play for the CAVS next season,u can expect Lebron to delay his potential success.
jordan is 40 years old doin more than those young guys who think they're good...never once have i seen Kwame, Juan, or Lue dive for a ball like Jordan has...Jordan didn't ruin anything...he was a motivator
Good Point pchotsauce about Jordan atleast Your exactly right about Jordan, but Kwame is still learning,and thanks to Jordan he has set a good example for him in other ways.Jordan was way too hard on him but atleast he has taught Kwame Love and Respect for the game of Basketball,and has taught him to appreciate what he has,and has taught him how to conduct himself on and off court appropriately.And that's all if Kwame never learns how to execute a single play,so MJ has helped out alot. Jordan is the epitome of what a bball player should be though.It was great to see him play with a group of guys who obviously didn't give a damn about the game of basketball it reflected on how great Jordan truly is no matter what the circumstances,even though Tyronn Lue and Juan Dixon both dived after loose balls and things,they were the only ones who showed desire according to Jordan.And it was great seeing MJ show them what love,passion,and desire were all about, a 40 year old man diving for a ball,and cracking his mouth in arguably the greatest venue of all-time in MSG,clinging to the hope of winning a ball game,to try to take his sub-par team to the playoffs for the very last time in his career, ALL FOR THE LOVE OF THE GAME.
Maybe Jordan expected a little too much from Brown at this young age... he's still a project that has to be developed... I hope he can show that coming season... and prove everybody (including me) wrong...
well when a kid comes out of hs straight to the NBA...somebody has to be hard on them to teach them discipline...Kwame's not ready for it i guess
