Do All MJ's Make Mistakes?


As many of us know, Michael Jordan is going to be inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, MA on September 11th. However, Michael Jordan has surprised everyone and chose David Thompson to open the hall's doors for his display. David Thompson was a NBA player who came from the college North Carolina State and was said to be one of the most inspirational players for Michael Jordan according to his autobiography.

Michael, Michael, Michael...

Let me guess, Dean Smith? Phil Jackson? One of your teamates? Rival, Charles Barkley? Nope, David Thompson. Wow, I can't believe that Michael Jordan has chosen David Thompson to induct him, what is he thinking? I mean sure you claimed him to be your idol when you were growing up, but I didn't think he was that important.

I can only imagine what Phil Jackson is thinking. I mean the guy lead him to the 6 NBA championship rings he has. You would figure that Phil Jackson maybe had SOMETHING to do with that. I tell you what, if I was Phil Jackson I would send him a text saying "Way to make me look bad". Like I said, I would understand if Dean Smith was chosen and so wouldn't Phil Jackson.

All in all though, who am I to say is important to Michael Jordan? I'm sure Jordan thought about this decision thoroughly and decided without David Thompson he wouldn't be the legend he is now. Actually, what if he didn't think this through? What if he knew within a few minutes who he was going to choose?! Okay, i'm back to being pissed off again...
