Few names have the same profound resonance in the world of basketball as Michael Jordan’s. Being regarded as one of the best athletes in NBA history, Jordan is esteemed for his unequaled expertise on the playing field. Jordan’s coping skill—or lack thereof—is a lesser-known facet of his professional life, though, as shown by the latest remarks made by Toni Kukoc, a former teammate.

Thoughts on the difficulties of making the switch from athlete to “manager” are prompted by Kukoc’s frank analysis, which provides a new angle on Jordan’s post-playing pursuits. The prominent basketball player for the Chicago Bulls underlined the need to impart insights to individuals and the basketball industry as a whole—something that many other sports stars have failed to accomplish. But what does he exactly mean about MJ?

The direct evaluation of Michael Jordan’s managerial start by Toni Kukoc

Toni Kukoc, an established personality in European and international basketball, directly critiqued Jordan’s managerial debut on Sports Club. During the conversation on Željko Obradović’s possible coaching role in the NBA, Kukoc was blunt about Jordan’s managerial skills. Although Kukoc acknowledged Jordan’s unique position as a player, he raised doubts about his ability to succeed as a manager.

Kukoc stated, “To be a coach today, you have to be a parent, a coach, and a psychologist. It’s one thing to have a basketball in your little finger, and another to pass that knowledge on.” He continued, “Michael Jordan will always be the greatest for me, but he was not very successful as a general manager. When he and Phil Jackson, who was a phenomenal coach, came into their new roles, they didn’t do very well. That’s the difference.”

Kukoc mentioned, “Every time I come to Belgrade, I receive a warm welcome. All players have the desire to play well in this kind of atmosphere, but a few are hit a little harder. I had the feeling that Partizan controlled the game since they were 13 points up. I was a bit surprised by the nonchalant passes and turnovers. With an aggressive defense, Olympiakos turned the match in their favor.”
