Michael Jordan Explains Why He Never Got Into Coaching

Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player to live. Arguably.  He’s currently an NBA owner, but His Airness never got into coaching.  Cigar Aficionado’s Marvin R. Shanken held an extensive interview with Jordan, asking him questions about his career, his father, his hobbies and a plethora of other subjects.

MJ revealed why he never had an interest in coaching.

“I have no patience for coaching. My biggest problem from a competitive standpoint is the focus of today’s athlete and the focus where I saw the game, how I pursued the game — it changes and it’s totally different.

For me to ask an individual to focus on the game the way I played the game, in some ways would be unfair for that kid that would have to endure that. If he didn’t do it, there is no telling where my emotions would be. I don’t think I would have the patience for it. So in essence, coaching is something that I’ve never really felt I could do from an emotional standpoint because I’m much different and I have a different perception about things than what the kids do today.”

Jordan would have never lasted a week as a coach, and he knows it.

The man would have strangled every player on his team.  Some people are just not meant to be coaches, and MJ is clearly one of them.
