Michael Jordan has won six rings as a player in the NBA but as an owner things haven’t gone as well. That however could be turning around. With four seasons in as the majority owner of the Charlotte Hornets, Jordan has his eyes on that seventh ring.
via ESPN:
“I’m always dreaming about that seventh ring,” Jordan told ESPN. “And to get to that would be much more gratifying” than the previous six he won with the Chicago Bulls.
Jordan said being on the sidelines as the owner “isn’t as much fun, but it’s a lot harder.”
“I played this game for a long time and I always took criticism in a way that’s going to make me better as a basketball player and I could affect the game per se,” Jordan said. “Here, I can’t do that other than talking to my other employees or coaches or players.”
The Hornets have regained their name (no longer the Bobcats), have upgraded the roster and even made it to the playoffs last year. It might take some time before they even get close to championship contention but they’re definitely heading in the right direction.
