“That tequila whoopin his a**”: NBA Twitter cannot hold back the sarcasm on Michael Jordan’s appearance as he looks dejected
NBA Twitter rarely disappoints when it comes to opinions. And with an NBA icon like Michael Jordan appearing courtside, they had to chime in. Starting with our personal favorite.
Is it a new meme?
Another Twitter user thinks MJ might have bet on his team but Paolo Banchero had other ideas.
And while another pointed out the fact that Michael has historically been bad at managing teams.
MJ and the Charlotte Hornets: A timeline
Well, it was no secret that a player of Michael Jordan’s caliber would eventually go on to own an NBA franchise. When he came back to the league in 2001, he wanted to take up the mantle of the owner of the Washington Wizards.
That didn’t work out like he wanted it to. But an opportunity came knocking in the form of his hometown team, Charlotte Hornets. There was a vacancy for an owner/executive and MJ took it up.
Of course, he was mildly successful, and eventually, he did end up buying the controlling share and stepping back as an executive. He is only the owner as of now, but his franchise’s struggles despite drafting great players might be a sign that he isn’t as dominant off the court as he was on it.
