Michael Jordan is renowned for his numerous victories in the league. However, as the owner of the Charlotte Hornets, he has been less fortunate. The team has only made it to the NBA playoffs twice in the last decade. Unfortunately, the Hornets have been hit with another setback as the NBA draft lottery results were revealed.

The six-time NBA champion is one of the few billionaires in the sporting world. The recent announcement of the NBA draft lottery results hindered his potential for further financial growth.

The Charlotte Hornets face tough luck in the NBA Draft

The Charlotte Hornets were among the final two teams vying for the coveted first pick in the 2023 NBA draft. However, it was announced that the San Antonio Spurs were the lucky lottery winners.

Victor Wembanyama is expected to be the top pick in the upcoming NBA draft, thanks to his impressive skillset and potential to become a superstar in the league. Basketball analyst Adrian Wojnarowski was told that drafting Wembanyama could add up to $500M to a team’s valuation. He said, “One team president said to me drafting Wembanyama might add as much as $500M to the value of your franchise.”
