I know who he is.

If he is on the bench and is talking about how performance is desperately needed, yes. Michael Jordan is old. He can't play as well anymore. Marc Andreessen is in the best position to be a builder in his life.

> So a player moves to becoming a coach or some support character after decades in the game and that’s your great comment?

Players generally stop playing once they for some reason can't (injury, age, etc) or begin to have other priorities and don't view the effort of playing as worth it.

I don't see a reason that he can't, so this is of lesser significance to him than the essay alone would indicate.
