Michael Jordan First Ex-Player to Own NBA Team
Michael Jordan has been given approval from the other NBA team owners and is now officially the owner of the Charlotte Bobcats. He becomes the first ex-player to own a NBA team and just the second black majority owner.
Jordan said it was a “dream come true” to own the team. Jordan in the past has been criticized for not being involved enough with the team said that will change as he is now the majority owner.
Michael Jordan first made his name in North Carolina and helped North Carolina to the 1982 national championship hitting the winning shot. He then of course became a NBA legend through his time at the Chicago Bulls.
He then spent time in management roles at the Washington Wizards but things did not go to plan. Several years ago Bob Johnson asked Jordan to get involved with the Bobcats. Despite some reluctance he did take on a role with the team and now is the owner.
Jordan will be doing all he can to turn the Bobcats into a championship team. He said he knows what it is like to win and he wants to bring that feeling to the city of Charlotte and the state of North Carolina.
