Michael Jordan Could No Longer Channel His Prior Greatness (cs_mcgowan on how MJ seemed to regard owning the Hornets as a kind of investment or endorsement deal)
On Sunday, the NBA's owners voted to approve the transfer of the Charlotte Hornets from Michael Jordan to two finance dudes with names that sound like and are perhaps exactly Gabe Plotkin and Rick Schnall. Whether this is a notable development in the course of the franchise remains to be seen. Bold new visions will be delineated, a subtly different shade of paint will be applied to everything, and then we'll spend the next five years figuring out if it something actually happened.
In MJ's thirteen years at the helm, the Hornets were never particularly good but worse than that—very un-Jordan—they were irrelevant. They lacked starpower, were studied and admired solely by League Pass-trawling nerds. We couldn't get our hackles up about Charlotte wasting Kemba Walker's career. Kemba Walker was precisely the caliber of player who fit there.. Steve Clifford was that same sort of coach, and still is.
