According to Mike Persinger of the Charlotte Observer:

Jordan says Bismack Biyombo reminds him of Hakeem Olajuwon.

Jordan has a bad track record with gauging talent so I won't put to much stock into what he said but I was wondering what qualities from Bismack does Jordan sees that reminds him of Hakeem?

I see a lot of parallels with Bismack and Hakeem, Hakeem came in the league with little to no offensive moves as well but worked on him, MJ should hook him up with the dream as soon as possible.

Eek. I wonder who Adam Morrison reminded him of? Bird?

Pfft, all African guys look alike to Jordan.

MJ gave an interview today

http://blogs.charlotte.com/inside_the_n ... erver.html

here are a few of the points

Q: Talk about the rookies.

A: (Bismack) Biyombo reminds me so much -- I don’t want to compare him, but -- of (Hakeem) Olajuwon. He had skills and he was all about work ethic and I think this kid is, too.

(On Kemba Walker): When he has the ball, he knows anytime he can score. He was patient. He wasn’t rushing. He attacked. He dissected. That’s an unbelievable advantage. You can’t react to something without understanding it. This kid has that. Granted, he’s 5-10 (listed as 6-1). But those are things I saw in him that are hard to give to other people.

Q: If you were still a player, what would it take for you to want to come to Charlotte to play?

A: Support of the city. Looking at the talent (already there), the commitment from the organization, the coaching staff (to winning). And me, I’m looking to turn it into something great. Not maybe to start at the bottom, but to see if I can carry that weight of the city’s desire to win.

That’s what I was all about. Maybe some of these kids have a little different perspective. Chicago put its faith in me to win. Maybe we can find a guy with that same emotion. The city is starving for a winner, and maybe I can find that player who says, “Hey, I can make a difference.’’ I hope there are still players out there with that same perspective.

Clearly not because he wanted Rudy Gay

And Kwame? No. He wanted to trade the pick for Brand - but its cool to keep believing brah!

I don't know about Jordan, but this is why Bismack reminds me of Hakeem. It is the fluidity. Both guys play demonstrate a graceful quickness that is rarely seen in big men. Most big men are mechanical in their movements sometimes even stiff looking. Even the so called quick big men like Shaq and David Robinson could n't touch the fluidity of motion of Hakeem, and Bismack looks eerily similar.

Eek. I wonder who Adam Morrison reminded him of? Bird?

Once again I don't know what Jordan though of Adam, but the great Jerry West was comparing Adam to Larry before the draft.
