I think you're giving Jordan too much credit. The GOAT on the court for sure. I'm not sure that translates into business and team ops smarts. Refer to Wayne Gretzky's coaching and team ownership tenure for comparison.

Anyone here know "Kirby Jackson" over at Two Bills Drive? He is someone who works in sports marketing at the major league level. He also happens to know Pete Guelli. Here's his take. "(Pete) oversaw sponsorships when Russ (Brandon) was in charge. He was probably the 2nd most powerful guy in the room. He left and took the (Chief Revenue Officer) job in Charlotte with the Bobcats. The NBA has ALWAYS had the best sports business minds. There’s a reason that so much innovation starts there. That’s where I last knew him. From what I remember the Bills sponsorship numbers were like middle of the league. That is crazy impressive, considering the old stadium and crappy teams. He’s quiet, assertive and smart. I never worked directly with him but knew his reputation. His resume is strong."

People keep bringing this up. I don't think he was involved directly with the basketball operations. He's in charge of the business end of the teams.

Wow, that's some fancy detective work, Sherlock.

First SEA goal caught the Sabres napping. Buffalo roared back. SEA gets a stupid fluky pinball goal that bounced off three players and a post on the power play. Then all Sabres the rest of the night. And don't read too much into getting outshot in the third. The Sabres let the Kraken shoot from outside.
