Skip Bayless claims, “Michael Jordan is ‘horrible’ at picking players despite being the ‘greatest’ to have played the game” after the reports came to light, Charlotte Hornets owner Michael Jordan is in “serious talks” to sell his full ownership.
On Monday’s “Undisputed,” Shannon Sharpe laid out exactly what this news means for MJ and the company. “It’s hard to be arguably the best at one thing and horrible at something else, and that’s the way you can sum up his tenure as the owner of the Hornets, It has been a disaster. He has hit the ball out of the park basically one time with Kemba Walker. LaMelo Ball] has been very good, but he has been injured an awful lot,” Sharpe said.
“Every other draft pick has been an epic failure from, Adam Morrison to Frank Kaminsky to Bismack Biyombo. In 2015, Michael Jordan rejected four first-round picks from the ‘Boston Celtics’, including one that later became Jaylen Brown, in order to draft Frank Kaminsky. He did that! He said no. His batting average on first-round draft picks is worse than what he hit with the Birmingham Barons. I hate to see it.“Sharpe concluded.
In complete agreement with his cohost, Skip Bayless said, “If you go 17 seasons and make the playoffs only three times in the NBA, and you never win a playoff series in 17 seasons and your playoff record is 3-12, which is by far the worse over that span in the NBA, something was very wrong. “The greatest at playing is the worst at picking players.“
Michael Jordan is in “serious talks” to sell his full ownership of the Hornets
Retired NBA icon Michael Jordan is in talks to sell his majority ownership of the Charlotte Hornets of the NBA. However, a deal is not close at hand. According to ESPN, under the terms of the agreement, Jordan would retain a minority ownership interest in the Hornets while selling the majority of the team to Atlanta Hawks minority owner Rick Schnall and Hornets minority shareholder Gabriel Plotkin.
For $275 million, Jordan purchased the majority of the Hornets (then-Bobcats), making him the only Black majority owner of the NBA and the first ex-player to do it. Both distinctions still hold true today. Jordan was a minority owner with the last say on basketball matters for four years, prior to assuming ownership of the team in 2010. A new ESPN story claims that Jordan intends to maintain a small ownership interest in the team.
Two times since Jordan became the owner of the Hornets—the most recent being in 2016—the team has advanced to the postseason. The Hornets are currently sitting in 14th place in the Eastern Conference with a record of 22-50 and have already been eliminated from this season’s postseason.
