he sat next to the Bobcats bench during every game.

Whenever he sits next to the bench, the officiating ends up being much better because he always get's after the refs.

With that, I've concluded that MJ is our most important asset in winning games.
Humble yourself.

I'm down with that. He certainly seems to get heavily invested in a game when he is bench side - which is great to see.

I've noticed he shows his frustration when Felton makes mistakes. I don't read into that for this summer though. Totally agree it helps when he's there.

Do you guys ever think that MJ could make a good assistant coach? Sitting on the bench talking to guys when they come out of the game, or before they go in, and mentioning stuff he sees to Larry Brown? You think he could do that for an 82 game season without some sort of problems arising? I think it would be interesting and might be possible and positive for a team under a well experienced coach like Larry Brown.

While that's a good thought, it'd never happen. MJ is too attached to those golf clubs! :D

The Cavs just waived a player that should join the Bobcats coaching staff, Eric Snow. Won't happen this season, but it should happen this offseason. He will be a great head coach in the NBA someday, he already has a connection with Larry Brown. MJ, make it happen.

Back on topic Michael Jordan should never, ever, jamas, jamais, Je, mai, Ooit coach in any way shape or form. (FYI- thats 5 versions of ever in different languages).

Was Jordan at the game at home vs the heat? He's a great motivator to this team, but if he expected us to make the playoffs without him buttering up the ref's a bit, then I don't see the point in bothering to go to the Detroit game.

I'm guessing he honestly went to the Pistons game because he was planning on going to the Final Four. Probably figured I'm already in the area, why not check on the Bobcats.

I think he could play 5-10 minutes a game if he wanted to. Has nobody else thought of that or is that stupid because everybody else thought of that?

As for a coach I don't see it. I mean what superstar player has actually coached? I think he would always want to suit up when there losing. The only guy who did really good who was a star was Bird but he only coached for 1 year.

We can use him to intimidate the opponents.

He can't be a coach imo. He is to much of a perfectionist. Youve heard the articles and interviews with old teammates. Some of them truley hated him. He made Kwame sweat blood and break out with pimples and something nasty.
