Jordan like Bobcats’ majority owner?
Last Friday Jordan told The Charlotte Observer that he would be interested in taking control of the Bobcats from majority owner Bob Johnson if and when he decided to sell the team. Jordan said in a story on the newspaper’s that when Bob wants to step aside, he has no problem stepping in and saying, ‘Hey, look, I’d love to take control of this franchise! But Bob said that he’s not at that point now.
In fact, last 2006 Jordan bought a minority stake in the Bobcats and Johnson gave him total control over the team’s basketball operations. The fifth-year franchise has never made the playoffs and Johnson has acknowledged losing millions on the team, which has struggled to draw fans. Johnson, the first black majority owner of a major professional sports team, told The Associated Press last month that he was not interested in selling the team. Well, until know Johnson and Jordan have no additional info regarding this issue.
