    Default Really interesting Jordan article

    I enjoyed reading this and thought I would share.

    It's a long article and and touches on a lot of different topics but, really gives you an idea of who Michael Jordan is today...

    Wow...riveting stuff. Thanks for sharing, Jason!

    I saw this earlier; it's pretty cool, too. Sort of puts the $3 Million rebrand cost in a little perspective

    I didn't realize his stake in the Bobcats was 80%.

    Also really liked this part of the article..

    LeBron James is the top seller among current NBA players with signature shoe deals, but Jordan outsold James by a 6 to 1 margin in 2012 in the U.S. ( Also Jordan holds a 6 to 1 margin in rings)

    I don't care what anybody says. MJ is my damn hero.


    50 years to not only the greatest to ever play basketball, but the best sportsman the world has seen. I know he doesn't read any of this, but MJ I hope you have a fantastic birthday!

    Still has this incredible draw. Its unexplainable. GOAT.


    I don't know what to think about this article as far as the Bobcats are concerned. The majority of me reads things like this:
    He feels pulled inward, toward his own most valuable and destructive traits. Slights roll through his mind, eating at him: worst record ever, can't build a team, absentee landlord. Jordan reads the things written about him, the fuel arriving in a packet of clips his staff prepares. He knows what people say. He needs to know, a needle for a hungry vein. There's a palpable simmering whenever you're around Jordan, as if Air Jordan is still in there, churning, trying to escape.
    And gets a basketball boner thinking about Jordan applying his legendary drive to this franchise. I love to know that the criticism around his ownership eats at him because that can only be a good thing for us.

    A small part of me sees his fiance and hopes her hot ass doesn't turn him into a retired Floridian on his rascal. We all know the power of woman.

    I agree, and for the greater good of the franchise- I will seduce her and steal her away from MJ so that all of his time can be spent into building this team into a winner...

    and remember guys, I'm doing this for the greater good. I'm taking one for the team.

    Wish me luck.
