Michael Jordan Opens Up About Why He Didn’t Want To Coach

Michael Jordan is recognized as the greatest NBA player of all-time, by most. On top of being a naturally gifted athlete with an elite skillset, MJ had a unique feel for the game that allowed him to consistently be one step ahead of the competition.

Like LeBron James, Magic Johnson, and many other NBA legends, Michael Jordan has a keen basketball IQ. The trait every winning NBA coach needs. So why did he pass up on coaching opportunities?

MJ decided to take ownership route after his playing career, which hasn’t been a success. If anything, quite the opposite. His playing career is tied with countless accolades, but his ownership career lacks any achievements.
