Lebron is GOAT 🐐
We want one in canada too! ❤
Your defending the worst owner in sports history,but it’s sad to see him leave 💯
Reality check:
Michael Jordan is a terrible NBA team owner who never knew what in the fuck he was doing at the CEO organizational management level and his dismal record of non achievements as the owner of the Charlotte Hornets proves that since he bought the team in 2010.
The media needs to stop making up excuses after excuses for MJ as they continue to avoid telling the real truth about his obvious inability to be an effective leader and manager of a big corporate business organization.
MJ.
Poor decision maker when it comes to accessing player talent, player selection, head coaching selection, during NBA free agency and the NBA draft, very cheap and lazy financially and passed on SO MANY NBA superstar/all pro players over the years that would have put the Hornets in position every season to be serious playoff contenders and NBA Finals teams seeking to win a NBA championship.
Trying to always cover for MJ by talking about his past greatness; his playing days and other business interests doesn't eliminate the fact that he really sucks as a team owner who IMO, never wanted to try and win a NBA championship in the first place with the huge 50/50 possibility of his team not winning a championship for him in the NBA Finals as a team owner that would officially put a permanent negative blemish on his stellar NBA career and possibly cause a decline in his Nike sneakers and sports apparel sales that's been #1 in the world for over 3 decades…a huge and important part of his overall legacy.
Nike is way more important (reason why he's a billionaire) to MJ than creating a really good NBA team and and winning a NBA championship.
Won everything as a NBA player, couldn't win anything as a business leader NBA team owner.
MJ would rather just walk away under these conditions instead of trying as hard as he possibly could and risk taking the L.
🤔 I'm guessing the next owner may send the team to another city. Like it did the first time to new Orleans
Michael Smith should've done his HOMEWORK but I guess that would be too much to ask……Charlotte Hornets have been the 4th WORST team in the NBA from 2006 through 2022 as far as WIN TOTALS……I love MJ the basketball player and the person BUT HE STINKS as an NBA owner and President of basketball operations…..period.
Look let's keep it all the way 💯 MJ was a Great Basketball player and businessman in ref to NIKE. He is a Terrible NBA owner in terms of picking talent.
This would be a good time for Mike to sell to Lebron,to keep a black majority owner in the NBA 🇨🇦💡💯😎👍🏾
Certainly not the greatest owner he's been terrible as owner of the hornets
He should sell…his team has been mediocre since his partial to majority ownership. He's been a terrible GM and owner.

WELL LIKE BARKLEY SAID MJ IS NOT A GOOD OWNER IN THE NBA
I’m sorry fellas. But this whole obsession with black ownership is silly and juvenile to me. First, of all I don’t know what that does in the global scheme of things. Makes no dent in anything important. Second: If there are enough black billionaires to make a dent in what you keep calling “a problem”, then why don’t they pool together and start their own league instead of continuously whining to the white owners about it when you can’t apply for the position of owner. These teams are the property of someone already and until they sell, the owner stays the owner. You want them to artificially create vacancies? The whole argument seems stupid to me and nobody has ever, since this been a topic, explained it in a logical way. Sort of like the reparations argument. Nonlogic to it. I get the emotional energy behind but not the logic because there isn’t any. Plus of all the things that black billionaires could do (and do because there are some) THIS is the pinnacle of concern you prescribe for them? Black billionaires should wait around for an NBA or NFL or MLB or NHL team to be sold and then make that a life’s endeavor? Because that’s what it is. So, your concern AND your argument fall on deaf ears around here, partners. Enjoy tour futile plight.
you guys gotta figure out your sound, i can hear a not-so-faint echo
How is he going to quit. Give up. Its to hard. That's crazy. Its just about cashing out for more then you put in. Thanks for nothing.
I don't agree with Mike on this one. Some owners don't know wth they're doing, but the ones that care like Mike? They put ppl in place to run the basketball side of things to succeed. Micheal Jordan got to the level of greatest, by always betting on himsel. you think Michael thinks there's anyone that knows basketball more than him?
I'm sorry bro, Michael did not have a average ownership tenure. It was consistently bad. He was losing all the time because I think he, like most Legends, can't transition to management. they can't understand why they don't just do what came so easy to them. Michael should've stepped back and let others run the ball side of things… From a long time ago
Dude took Adam Morrison, with the 2nd pick. He took Kidd-Gilchrist #1.
Opted to settle for Okafor instead up trying to trade up for 1 and Dwight Howard…
Washington should've told you all you needed to know about his front office awareness skills…
I think the only thing Charlotte really did right under his watch, was Draft LaMelo & bring back the Hornets to the city… outside of that I don't think he could ever truly get out of his own way.
Like Magic coaching & front office, Like Phil Jackson in NY, Bill Russell coaching bad teams… most star players never become the coach. It's usually the Bench warmer who barely sees action, but sit next to the coach, and soaks it all in.
I'm surprised Mike held on this long TBH… you know he can't stand being so close to it, and can't do a damn thing about it smh
4 “good owners”: Mark Cuban, the Celtics owner, the Heat owner, the Warriors owner. Everyone else is exactly what Mike described. But those 4 stand above the rest and it’s not close. I’d actually give Dan Gilbert an honorable mention. While he was an ass at the beginning/middle of LeBron’s career he seems to really have turned it around.
LeBron James might buy it…
Honestly, Jordan's ineptitude as an owner is a bigger hit against minority owners to me. The only two we've had are MJ & Robert Johnson, and neither of them produced competent teams regularly.
The question to me is why is Jordan selling his majority shares? He certainly doesn't need the money and just for the generational/legacy reasons he should think twice about it. Just because you're not a good owner has never stopped any of the other owners (white) from continuing their ownership.
