Michael Jordan believes his former coach, Phil Jackson, can succeed in the front office with the New York Knicks.
Despite Jackson having never been an executive before, Jordan says his old Chicago Bulls coach's methods and strengths can work even from a front office position.
"Phil can do some good things with them because he's gifted," Michael Jordan told ESPN's Stephen A. Smith on Monday. "Phil is fantastic at managing egos and personalities, getting everyone on the same page and maxing out whatever potential is there for what should be the common and ultimate goal.
"Just because he's never been an executive before doesn't mean he can't do that," Jordan continued. "He's wanted to do it for a while now and I know he can do it... so long as he has the necessary pieces in place."
The Knicks are holding a news conference Tuesday to announce the hiring of Jackson, who will handle basketball decisions for the Knicks.
