From One Jordan to Another

Michael Jordan is easily one of the best basketball players ever. Current Clipper center DeAndre Jordan is far from it. DeAndre was drafted in the second round a few years ago and supposedly did not prove he could be a steady NBA player until this year. However, after seeing him play last night, I believe he does not deserve to be in the NBA. He is the prime example of someone who has made the NBA because of his size and not skill. The Clippers were down 98-94 with about two minutes left in the game when DeAndre was fouled on two consecutive possessions and was clutch enough to miss all four of his free throws and help the Clippers lose the game in the end to the lowly Sacramento Kings. The guy's free throw percentage is close to 40% and it is a rarity where he makes a basket outside of the paint. Put this together and no matter how hard he works and how much better his dunks have looked, he does not deserve a spot in the NBA especially not in the starting lineup of one. Sure other guys like Shaq and Dwight Howard can not shoot free throws, but they both still have higher career percentages than Jordan and they have a lot more game then Jordan will ever have. So when Deandre's contract runs out at the end of the year and he becomes a restricted free agent, I hope he does not return to the Clippers, because they have plenty of money to spend on a big time center, and they also have a former all start already on their team in Chris Kaman. Who would not want to come to the Clippers next year when they see they have Blake Griffin, Eric Gordon, Mo Williams, and even Kaman and Eric Bledsoe? I hope for once the Clippers make a good choice and decide to let Jordan go ruin another team's chances of winning close games, by making a shot less often than a majority of amateur high school players.
