The most successful thing Michael Jordan ever did wasn't basketball

Michael Jordan bought a majority stake in the Charlotte Hornets for $275,000,000 in February 2010. The best player of his generation is now the man in charge

What happened next wasn't pretty:

• 2010: Buys 80% of the Hornets for $275M

• 2011-12: Finishes 7-59, worst record in NBA history at the time

• 2012: Season finale, crowd boos his face on the jumbotron

• 2014: Franchise rebrands from Bobcats to Hornets

• 2010-2023: Goes 423-600, zero playoff series wins

• 2023: Sells majority stake in a deal valuing the team at $3B, keeps a minority stake

He made ~$1,500,000,000 after the sale and kept minority share
