The bad man is gone
Oh. Hi, Woj. How’s your summer been?
Does Jordan still have a minority stake or is he out completely?
These guys can’t be worse than Jordan, right?
“…not with a bang but with a whimper”
I want go to a game just to start a “Gamestop” chant. Maybe bring a sign as well.
People making fun of MJ’s ineptitude as a GM in terms of team success need to understand one thing: he made a shit ton of profit from his years of ownership of the Hornets team, especially after this sale.
Finally we are free
I just fell to my knees in a GameStop
A sigh of fresh air for hornets fans.
r/NBA is not going to want to hear this but farewell to the best owner the Charlotte Hornets have ever had.
no joke. it’s really been that bleak.
It’s over for the league now
For how much??
Hornets might start winning
smokin a blunt for jerry krause!
I wish we could do the same to Dolan
He might have been bad at actual draft/roster construction, but at the very least, I knew he cared and wanted to win. My friends and I talked about what might have been if Jordan didn’t take over during the Bobcats Era. I honestly don’t think Charlotte keeps a team. And now you got the guy who tried to short Gamestop coming in lol. So we’ll see what happens.
Cut to 30 years from now and people will be talking about how Michael Jordan was by far the greatest owner ever in NBA history
Gabe Plotkin…the greatest investor of our generation?…who lost billions on GameStop? Who still hasn’t closed his short on GME?
He got finessed
Gave Plotkin?? How does this man still have money I thought we bankrupted him during the GameStop Saga 😡
Good player. Shitty owner.
Meh.
Seeing MJ leave is kinda strange. He is basketball.
When all the white men ~~own~~ govern teams made up of black men
Was Jordan drafting Brandon Miller his last fuck you to Hornet fans?
The thick Plotkins…
Jordan lost the ownership because of gambling on credit
Stg the first course of action better be to clear out every neoptistic hire Jordan made. So our whole front office
Mashallah
Only 13 years? Hmm, felt like longer than that
Best thing he did for the franchise was give the cartoon hornet jordans
The plotkin thickens
It really sucks to short Gamestop
Isn’t Schnall minority owner of hawks? How’s he allowed to also own Hornets ?
If he’s “such a basketball genius” then why did he fail to make the playoffs eleven out of thirteen years in an anemic Eastern conference? The jordan stans are awful quiet… Hmm
Congratulations Hornets fans
