It’s been quite a stressful 13 years for Michael Jordan as the majority owner of the Charlotte Hornets.
Imagine you’re the GOAT known for all that winning in the NBA … but your team struggles and can’t get out of the first round of the postseason in your entire tenure.
But now, MJ is no longer the top owner — he’ll retain minority status after selling to a group that includes Gabe Plotkin and Rick Schnall.
That could still mean we see Jordan at Hornets games, which is the best news, because his reactions over the years have been must-see.
Let’s look back:

How about that "tap of endearment" to Malik Monk?

That’s what he called it after smacking the then-Hornets guard.
