We aren’t talking about him as a basketball player. He’s one of the worst owners ever 😂 Get him out of there and just enjoy retirement lol
Why sell? Not like he’s going to spend that money
bro they lost by 40 points just now
Lol SAS is avoiding the Charles Barkley mistake of talking bad about Mike and being frozen out for the rest of his life. He clearly has unwavering loyalty to MJ.
Stephen A knows who to not mess with, he choose his word by word. If that wasnt mike he would say the opposite word.
Jordan only owned the team for profit and not for them to actually go anywhere so now that he made a profit he wants to sell the team, smart move but he will forever go down as the worst team owner ever in the Nba. Nobody will say it but I will!
WHO IS THE ALLEGED BUYER?
Think this deals wit the money he lost from that Melvin Capital bankruptcy. Was hoping he would sell it to another minority owner Jay Z or someone of Color considering he’s the only black owner in professional sports.
"I dont know why its not working."
People be worried about the wrong things. The man is good. He has nothing to prove, and he’s pretty much done everything a man can dream of doing. If he wants to sell hot dogs on a corner that’s his right. To me he’s fighting the feeling of being retired, so he has to be doing something. So I can’t wait to see what he does next.
As a lifelong Hornets fan, this is fantastic. He has been a terrible owner/GM, the worst in the league by far.
MJ is a trash owner
Please please do more of these. I absolutely love vids like this from ya.
stephen a we doing real life. kevin knoxx god bless
baaling for real is defense coach real life. no magic im just g
Jordan failed as an owner… Sad to say about the GOAT
MJ: time more golf, More gambling and upgrade to a new younger wife.
MJ the player = Mt Rushmore
MJ the Owner= Mt Trashmore
Thank you.
I think Jordan realized how expensive it is to provide a winner and that you have to be clever with the money to do so.
Is anyone else curious to know what really happened?
As usual, Jordan stays quiet with the media and it is not clear to me why his time as owner was so sub-par.
Barkley says it is because of enablers, but honestly I think that his financial portfolio is a house of cards, at least in his eyes.
The power of investing! Bought $275 million, 13 years later the franchise worth $1.7 billion! 500+% profit
Come to work at ESPN or fox please
The best thing about this KN episode was how diverse it was. You had a Mexican chef cooking Chinese food in an Italian restaurant.
They say Lebron is the Goat now. Is that really true?
Stephen a smith just lost a friend in Jordan
He should start doing commentary
And he lost Charles Barkley as his best friend when Charles was right all along
He got the wrong one when he hired kupchak look at the Lakers under him bad decision after dad decision I hope Lamelo gets out of there and good redence to a bad experience
Jordan smart to sell that dumpster fire. Nba won’t be watched after ww3
Plotkin's Melvin Capital lost 6.8B, shuttering its doors in June 2022. Now MJ is selling his franchise to Plotkin. Is this MJ paying off his debt? It sure looks that way.
MJ's out-of-control gambling really was a thing. Bigger than we all knew. Now he's losing his NBA franchise.
There you go Shaq or Lebron, take over now, 👍❤️. Pura Vida
He's the goat as a player but stinks as a part owner.
I guess Charles Barkley wasn't lying about Michael having to many yes men. SMH
For all his money, Jordon looks bad for his age. Really bad.
Stephen curry now can buy his hometown team
😂😂😂😂 if that was LBJ!! He would be screaming he sucks!!!! MJ was a bad owner!!!
A "ranDu"m thawt 🤔… Sound like a used car deal. He bought it used in fairly decent condition, now it's his turn to do the same and let someone else have a shot at it and see what they do. Sometimes a good way to save ourselves from decisions we've tried is to let go of sump'n before have more than we want wrestle with. Like Jamie Foxx said in an old stand-up, "you gotta vote that sh*t out!" 😂
The main reason MJ sells because he cant stand his team not winning not in The Finals not a Championship team lol
