All articles about Michael Jordan should focus on this amazing fact: he’s the only person in human history to be best ever in world at something (playing basketball) and the demonstrably WORST ever in history a related something (being an NBA exec).

Can you think of any other human who can make such a claim?

great post, very informative. I’m wondering why the opposite experts of this sector don’t understand this.
