by It appears the worst named franchise in professional sports will be getting one of the worst business minds to be majority owner of their team.
Michael Jordan will be majority owner of the Charlotte Bobcats. The team who is actually sort of respectable this year with Larry Brown as their coach have given their ownership to a man with a awful history of drafting, horrible gambling problems and a man who had a divorce settlement that would make Paul McCartney blush.
Sure Michael Jordan is one of the best players ever, and his deals with Gatorade and Nike are no brainers. But they are riding his playing days coattails, those are not so called good business decisions. Right place at the the right time with the help of amazing athletic ability.
But get Michael Jordan in a executive type situation, its a train wreck, the man isn’t Magic Johnson, who is brilliant at the post basketball business deals.
At the end of the day, it shouldn’t come to anyone’s surprise that Charlotte Bobcats are making this decision. Because when will they ever be deemed respectable?
