MJ didn't want to draft KWAME BROWN...

[outacontrol music]

NBA agent David Falk admitted in an radio interview with WJFK in DC that Michael Jordan, then with the Wizards, didn't make the decision to draft Kwame Brown with the top overall pick in 2001.

"That was not his decision," Falk said. "That was someone else's decision. Kwame Brown was the first high school player ever drafted (#1 overall) and certain people in the organization thought that would have tremendous promotional value on ticket sales."

Falk continued on the subject, saying that Jordan wanted to bring Elton Brand to Washington instead.

"Michael wanted Elton Brand. They wanted to make a trade, he wanted to bring in Elton Brand."

OC-

MJ is trying to save face via David Faulk...
it was 100% Jordan's decision to snatch up Kwame
Just like he pulled the Richard Hamilton for Stackhouse trade...

Wiz could have had Gasol man I will never get over that

 

[i nasmatic i]

MJ turned down deals for Elton Brand or Stephon Marbury for Kwame Brown...He would have selected Rodney White anyways

 

[RyGuy45]

So let me get this straight....

MJ didn't want the #1 pick in the draft and decided he wanted Elton Brand on his team instead.


Gee it's hard to believe Falk is Jordan's agent as well as Brand's.

 

[jpzx]

Lies..

 

[frenchblue23]

Yeah, just how I didn't want to eat that Chili Dog for lunch, that gave me a stomach ache.

 

[lnmymind]

What difference does it make? If it wasn't Kwame it would have been Eddy Curry or Tyson Chandler...Gasol was not a viable #1 option. Nobody was going todraft a EURO 1st overall back in 2001.

 

[roll 22]

Faulk is just covering up for MJ's huge mistake....

MJ also blew Rodney White hard back then. And look wherehe's at.

 

[nublee]

what a blatant lie

With this and the terrible quality that JB continues to bring out, MJ's image has fallen off IMO

Exctly, it would've been Tyson Chandler. I'm sure a Brand trade was offered to the Wizards but they probably rejected it.

Bald headed lie. Pun intended.

 

[kb8sandiego]

Even if MJ didn't want to draft Kwame, which is a blatant lie, he still sucks as a GM.

 

[curious24]

what makes it worse is that he affected kobes career as well bc kwame ended up on the lakers and cost hima couple of ships.
