The New Jordan Rules

Several NBA team executives are angry with what they call an unfair advantage that Charlotte Bobcats minority owner Michael Jordan has due to his exclusive access to future NBA prospects in his Jordan Brand All-American high school game and Flight School camps, and they want the commissioner's office to forbid his involvement.

Rules are rules but if you are a young player and the man himself rings you and it's against the rules do you risk it.
Across the league, executives are decrying what they consider to be the new "Jordan Rules" of the NBA.

"Danny Ainge ends up seated next to Kevin Durant's mother and gets fined $30,000, but Michael goes out and plays one on one with [top high school prospect] O.J. Mayo and it is not a problem?" one Western Conference general manager grumbled.

"It's a conflict of interest."

Danny Ainge can sit next to Kevin Durant's mum all he likes, but unless the Celtics get one of the top 2 picks there's no chance of him being recruited. I don't see what the big deal is, the draft is in place to ensure a fair distribution of talent coming into the league, Jordan playing a little one on one with a high schooler isn't going to change the order the balls come out in.

Am I missing something?
