According to reports, Jordan went after Brown repeatedly in practice and challenged him to be more like Mike. Unfortunately, Brown lacked the thing that MJ had the most of; the drive to be the best. Brown managed 12 years in the NBA but lacked the motivation to take himself further than his natural talent would take him.
