please wait till after the lottery selection.
Jordan should sell the Hornets if he doesn't want to invest in players.
he Sick Of Not winning 😂
Without Pippen, Jordan only takes Ls.
They will always make an excuse for Jordan instead of just saying he was bad
Lol, jordan just failed, i know Stephen A would have jumped on Lebron if he did this
MJ wants to leave when wembanyama is probably coming to charlotte …
He better go apologize to Barkley right after he sell the stake 😂😂😂
About time for MJ to step down ! Been holding back that organization for too many years.
As he should he has been a terrible owner
Sad how he won 6 rings but does not run the blue print that won him thoses chips the only thing change in nba is nobody plays defense or run offense sets like chest like football till the sec runs out.
This might be the only time Jordan has ever thrown in the towel
Its a sellers market right now
SAS could you be MORE cryptic? What's thus trust? Explain what you mean
It just goes to show you can win a title with Michael Jordan on your team in 2023
Michael should get out. He might be the worst owner in all of sports man and I say that as knicks fan lmao. He's definitely in the convo.
I just wonder what the heck he's gonna do with his time? Cigars, Golf, and gambling gets boring eventually. Oh well.
Sell the team to Lavar Ball and be done with it!
Has been the worst owner in the league
Stephen A in that jordan trust circle 😂
Man Jordan is smart I brought a minority share in 2010 for like 250-270 million .if I sell my majority share to a desperate group right now he can easily get close to 850-1 billion .I'm with Jordan and will still be a minority owner 😂.he did the math
He owes Charles Barkley an apology now
Good he needs to he has been an awful owner.
Charlotte have not really been a winning franchise and maybe Jordan doesn't want to put too much energy, money or time into it anymore.
We are talking about ownership SAS. We dont need to mention his on the court achievements…. hes been a horrible owner
Goes to show how different it is being a player vs an owner. Even the goat couldn’t get it done as an owner
Translation without Stephen A, riding MJ hard: MJ was always a garbage owner. Thank God he's out.
If the goal is to get more diversity in NBA ownership than how does this help? Jordan should stay majority owner even if he sucks at basketball operations.
the only good move he made is signing lamelo
Who'd want to own the Hornets
Jordan is the GOAT when it comes to playing the game, but doesn't know how to run an organization. I'll give him this, he did well drafting Lamello Ball.
Smart move. The NBA is about to renegotiate their television contracts with WarnerMedia and Disney, and neither company wants to pay what they paid in 2016 because of load management, among other things. David Zaslav at WB has already said he doesn't see the NBA as a priority, and shareholders are urging Bob Iger to sell ESPN altogether. Since the last deal was for 9 years, Jordan knows this could be his last chance to sell the team for a decade-plus, and with studios not willing to pay as much for content, and rising inflation, who knows how much the value of teams will fall in the next few years. Not to mention, Jordan only paid 175 million for the team in the first place, which means if he sells now he'll clear a 2 billion dollar profit; why wait 10 more years till your 70 to cash that in.
SAS suffers from selective outrage. Facts are, Jordan is as Awful an owner as he was Great when he played
the jordan nut hugging is elite
NBA viewership and down bad … smart move get out make billions and still be a minority owner 🥱😮💨
He’s doesn’t want to pay these soft NBA players.
