Larry Brown (http://insider.espn.go.com/nba/players/coach?id=7) | Bobcats (http://insider.espn.go.com/nba/clubhouse?team=cha)
Michael Jordan (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/players/profile?playerId=1035)'s official title with the Charlotte Bobcats (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/clubhouse?team=cha) is "managing member of basketball operations," but many locals believe it should be "absentee GM." The former Bulls great rarely attends home games and spends large portions of the season away from Charlotte. But Bobcats coach Larry Brown said he is happy with his working arrangement with Jordan.
"I don't see him as much on a daily basis, he's very involved," Brown said. "I talk to him a lot, and he throws out suggestions. I wish he was around all the time, but I'm always in contact with him. ... I came here because of Michael, no other reason. I'm not disappointed in what's happened so far. I don't think he believes it's going to happen overnight." -- Chicago Sun-Times (http://www.suntimes.com/sports/basketball/bulls/1334709,CST-SPT-bullnt17.article)

"He watches every game," Brown said. "I can always call him. But I have Rod (Higgins) here, I have Buzz (Peterson) here. They're in constant contact with him." "I'm not disappointed in what's happened thus far in my relationship with him. [B]I know we'll get this thing done." -- Arlington Heights Daily Herald (http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=258709)




Just a random ESPN rumor blurb I found today. I really could care less what Michael does with his time. I mean Steve Kerr is at the arena everyday and that sure isn't helping his GM skills. I just think its possible for Jordan to be effective in his "duties" without being there everyday. I feel like his "absentee" label is more overrated. Bob hasn't shown up this year that I can remember.

but it was nice to know that Larry feels good about things, so I thought I'd share.

These comments are yelling for a Brokeback Mountain joke.

Agreeded , Im kinda like you as long as Larry is happy, I have put my full support in Brown in his desision making , player trades , rotations . what ever . I belive in time he will take us to the playoffs. And have us contending with the best teams in the NBA.

[playoffs...PLAYOFFS?]

mustachio - i agree it is possible for the team to do well without jordan being around.

however, the problem is that not enough people are going to the games...and in this case, i think someone in the organization needs to step it up and improve relations with the community. get more people to come to games..how you accomplish that, i don't know, but jordan could be a good salesman

Bob hasn't shown up this year that I can remember.

I've actually seen Bob at a lot of games this year. In fact, he's been at most of the ones I've been at and I've been to probably 3/4ths of the home games.

Now, he isn't exactly Cuban-esque in his viewing, but he is technically there.

Both MJ and BJ could attend all games going fwd and it won't change the perception. Its kinda like that "if a tree falls and no one sees it" thing. If they are there and no one is there to see them, are they really there? Winning games is the only thing that will help. ILBIT.
