About time
The City of Charlotte needs to throw a parade
Gave up
Fnally!
Dude is over it lol
Wow W for the Hornets
MJ couldn’t take it anymore lmao
Saw the state of the team and said fuck them kids
I’ll never understand how Jordan could be so physco competitive in everything … But when he owned a team he didn’t really care
MJ can’t win with these cats.
He saw the script that they missed out on Wemby and said I’m out
MJ said: “Fuck em players. I’m all about NASCAR now.”
No one make fun of MJ, he’ll pull out just to piss us off lol
About time, been a garbage owner his entire tenure
So that’s why he randomly decided to sit courtside for the first time in years
I choose to view this as Paolo broke Michael Jordan
Noooo I loved having MJ own a team, even if they were always shit
Bill Simmons called it a few months back lmao. Dude got those billionaire sources.
Best news all season, as a franchise we are so sad that we don’t even get the meme treatment, just forgotten.
Mj now needs to use that money and buy the commanders! Then flip it to bezos for 8b and then buy the bulls!
Bill Simmons right again
gabe plotkin the manager of melvin capital who lost billions of dollars shorting gamestop stock when reddit was pump and dumping it
better audit his finances before you sign anything over
He’s coming back
As much fun as MJ made fun of Jerry Krause, Krause did a way better job than MJ could ever dream of
Bahaha Gabe Plotkin, “greatest trader of his generation”, formerly head of the now closed Melvin capital (a hedge fund destroyed predominantly by the GameStop short positions it held).
Obligatory fuck Gabe plotkin
LMAO GABE PLOTKIN? THE MAN WHO RAN MELVIN CAPITAL INTO THE GROUND AND MADE MJ LOSE OVER 500M ON A BAD SHORT BET? LMFAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAOOOOO
Fuck Gabe Plotkin
Best news of the year. Man never invested enough into the team and stacked the exec board with yes men. His tenure has been a failure on nearly every front.
Sad part is he’s the best owner in team history.
MJ is still goated for saving us from Bob Johnson and getting the hornets name back…… but pretty much everything else has been an abject disaster. Once kings make playoffs I’d say the hornets have officially been the worst franchise of the last 15-20 years.
Gabe fucking plotkin?! Hasn’t that loser had enough over the last couple years??
Eli5 how can a minority owner of one team buy a stake in another team? Surely that’s a huge conflict of interest
Yo what if LeBron buys it and turns around the franchise. How mad do you think Jordan would be?
Of course this would happen right when I was about to make a serious offer for a majority stake
