Michael Jordan wants to buy majority ownership of the Charlotte Bobcats
Michael Jordan, the greatest player to ever play in the NBA, wants to become the greatest owner. Jordan already has part ownership of the Charlotte Bobcats, but he wants to be a bigger part of the Bobcats franchise and as the majority owner he can do that. The current owner, Bob Johnson, wants to sell the club. Although Jordan apparently already has the final say when it comes to basketball decisions, he is not really a big member of the franchise and he is not at the forefront of the team in the offseason, practices, or even games. Jordan not only has an obvious great knowledge of the game, but he also has incredible passion and competitiveness. Jordan was the key reason that Hall-of-Fame coach Larry Brown joined the Bobcats, and I think he could do great things for the franchise. Of course he has to try and make a profit for the franchise, but you would have to think Jordan’s competitiveness and drive would come in to play and he would always try and put a successful, winning team together. The NBA Commissioner, David Stern, expects Johnson to sell the club within the next few months. Jordan is not the only one interested in becoming owner, as George Postolos also has expressed interest for months now. Postolos was recently an executive with the Houston Rockets and has worked in the NBA for years, including a stint working for Stern himself. I would love to see Jordan get the team and see if the things that made him great as a player can correlate to him becoming a great owner.
