Michael Jordan Set to Meet Key Warriors Member to Kickstart Expected Overhaul of Charlotte Hornets

One of the NBA?s All-Time greats Michael Jordan won 6 NBA titles during his long and illustrious playing career. Jordan was not just a basketball player, he was a great businessman as well. While he took a lot of pay cuts to form a competitive team, Jordan made a fortune off the court. Michael Jordan was the first athlete to be a billionaire.?

But Jordan is yet to win an NBA title as an owner of the Charlotte Hornets. He has once said that winning the NBA championship will be worth more than the 6 titles he?d won as a player. But he hasn?t come close to winning the title as an owner so far. It has been 6 years since the Hornets last played in the playoffs.

After losses in the play-in tournaments for two straight years, the Hornets fired Head Coach James Borrego. He had been in charge of the Hornets since 2018.
