jordan actually could have been a great baseball player. there is a documentary about it and people who were initially very skeptical eventually changed their mind. he would have gone to the majors, but there was a strike. this example is more in the camp of hire great people if you can.


That's really overstating Jordan's future as a baseball player. Jordan was never seriously considered a major league player.

He's much closer to being a pro golfer than a major league baseball player.


This is getting way OT but I can assure you the odds of him becoming even an occasional PGA Tour player are not even remotely as good as they were for him to make an MLB roster (of course, at the time he retired from basketball). If the GP is overstating, you are massively overstating his golfing abilities.


Ha ha you guys are killing me with this. I don't even know what to say, but, yeah, it's way OT at this point.
