While Jordan had a public opinion on some moves(like most players would), he was mostly hands off. There are a few that he stuck his neck out for. Nothing that comes ANYWHERE near close to being confused as a demanding player GM. LeBron is truly unique in that regard, as he does a lot more than ask for help, he tries to dictate the entire organization like no person the league has ever seen. And the thing here is, because the league is pretty watered down as far as complete physical two-way players go, guys like LeBron have more pull and the FO has to take them seriously to a much further extent. Dwight tried to play GM, but he was laughed out of Orlando. Chris Paul had lesser demands than a lot of players. A lot of guys didn't want to play with Oscar Robinson, so he basically only got some of what he wanted and the rest went down as having a lot of tantrums with the front office.
Jordan trusted the experts around him with all things considered and spent his free-time playing golf, being pampered by businessmen, and battling gambling addiction. Very different types of personality and personality issues from Bran. For most of his career, Michael wanted to do as much of it by himself. He wasn't about forming NBA superteams and people confuse him making his teammates better with him having a superteam. Jackson was a nobody coach beforehand, Pippen was like dozens of other swingmen of the time, Grant was a generic PF, and Rodman was on the verge of being kicked out of the NBA. BJ Armstrong was a bench microwave guy that took a few steps. It's amazing how things look in hindsight compared to how they looked in real-time. Jordan had a lot to do with why these guys were regarded as great players. When you develop your team, you don't need to play GM.
Just ask yourself this. Delonte West, good player. Very good come off the bench and get you 9pts and maybe force a TO type of player. Why did he get blacklisted from the NBA? Did Jordan ever get anyone blacklisted like that? IMO that is one example of abusing power far more than just being demanding to the top positions of your organization about trades, drafts, and signings.
