The timing of Michael Jordan’s decision to sell his majority ownership stake in the Charlotte Hornets has left the organization in flux, with several looming key personnel decisions.
FILE - Michael Jordan looks on during the first half of an NBA basketball game between the Charlotte Hornets and the New York Knicks in Charlotte, N.C., Friday, Nov. 12, 2021. Michael Jordan is finalizing a deal to sell the majority share of the Charlotte Hornets, a move that will end his 13-year run overseeing the organization, the team announced Friday, June 16, 2023. Jordan is selling to a group led by Gabe Plotkin and Rick Schnall, the Hornets said.
Will it be Jordan, a lame duck majority owner? Or will the new ownership have a major input? Jordan will remain on as a minority owner after the sale is approved, so he still has a vested interest in the organization. On the surface, the No. 2 pick wouldn't be a complicated one, with the Hornets likely choosing between G League star Scoot Henderson and Alabama's Brandon Miller.
As a player, Jordan was a six-time NBA Finals MVP with the Chicago Bulls, a 14-time All-Star and a two-time Olympic gold medalist. He's in the conversation as the greatest basketball player of all time. “He always looked to be a hands-on owner,” Van Gundy said. “I know he has the fishing and the auto racing that he's involved in, but I still didn't expect him to get out of the NBA. And yet he looks like he is going to make a tidy profit, so good for him.”“You win with Michael Jordan the player," Van Gundy added. “Those type of players will make you elite for a long time. You see it with Jokic. It’s hard to get those players, and when you do you are set up for a long period of time.
