His one achievement: Drafting Michael Jordan when Portland thought they needed a center with leg problems.

but made one of the most asinine statements in Bulls history

We wish Jordan were 7-feet, but he isn't. There just wasn't a center available. What can you do? Jordan isn't going to turn this franchise around. I wouldn't ask him to. He's a very good offensive player, but not an overpowering offensive player.

No one really knew how good Jordan was though...they knew he was good, but not GOAT good. Plus, center driven league at the time. Comment made sense back then, but yeah, seems really dumb now.

yeah but at the same time you don't talk about your #3 pick like that

i guess times were different back then and it was okay to sale your pick short instead praising him as 2nd coming
