Everyone knows that in the NBA, you can question everything about Michael Jordan, but even his critics wouldn't challenge his fondness for the "Bird's successor."
In 2006, even before Adam Morrison entered the draft, the Bobcats were aware that due to congenital diabetes, Morrison needs regular insulin injections to stay healthy.
Moreover, Morrison's college teammates had already disclosed to the public that this guy never showers and wears only three identical T-shirts for the whole year, truly a "strong flavor, no extra salt needed" kind of player.
Jordan still relentlessly recommended the Bobcats use their draft pick to choose Morrison, whose template was Larry Bird.
That's Michael Jordan's obsession with the "Bird's successor".
No matter how many flaws you have.
As long as you carry the "Bird's successor" label...
And after Jordan personally and subjectively verified you as the "Bird's successor"...
Your flaws will all turn into strengths in his eyes.
