It doesn’t come as a surprise that basketball legend Michael Jordan never considered a coaching gig since he ended his NBA career. Jordan not only has his own team in the NBA, but he also doesn’t need more validation in the world of sports as he is still considered the best player in the history of the game.

But, as it turns out, there is one more reason why Jordan never attempted to pass his knowledge in a coaching role. In a recent interview with Cigar Aficionado, Jordan explained that he simply doesn’t have the patience to be a coach.

“I have no patience for coaching,” said Jordan. “My biggest problem from a competitive standpoint is the focus of today’s athlete and the focus where I saw the game, how I pursued the game—it changes, and it’s totally different.”

According to Jordan, the approach to basketball drastically changed since he walked out, and younger players have a different perception of the game than he did.

“For me to ask an individual to focus on the game the way I played the game, in some ways would be unfair for that kid that would have to endure that,” he added. “If he didn’t do it, there is no telling where my emotions would be. I don’t think I would have the patience for it.”

Since retiring in 2003, Jordan has been mostly present in basketball as the owner of the Charlotte Hornets. He bought a minority stake in the franchise in 2006 before becoming a majority owner in 2010.

The debate about the greatest basketball player of all time is alive and well, with Detroit Pistons great Bill Lambier recently giving his take on the matter. According to Lambier, LeBron James should be considered the “GOAT” and not Michael Jordan.

Lambier recently made an appearance on ESPN’s First Take, where he talked about who deserves the title of the best basketball player of all time. While he recognized that

“I’m very vocal on this. I think LeBron is the best player who has ever played the game,” said Laimbeer. “He’s 6-foot-8, 285 pounds, runs like the wind, jumps out of the gym. … At the end of the day, I firmly believe he’s the best basketball player in the history of the game.”

Lambier acknowledged that Jordan is a more accomplished player, but thinks that doesn’t make him better than James.

“Now if you go by championships, obviously Michael Jordan has more championships. But I think LeBron in any generation would be doing what he’s doing right now all these years,” he added.

Bill Lambier is well familiar with Michael Jordan’s game, as he and the “Bad Boys” Pistons knocked out Jordan and Chicago Bulls three straight times in the playoffs between 1987 and 1990. In two out of those three seasons, Detroit went on to win the NBA title.
