Midnight on Thursday came with major news for Charlotte Hornets fans. Reports started circulating that Michael Jordan could potentially sell his majority stake in the Hornets franchise. It definitely sent shockwaves through the sports world, with fans eagerly waiting to see how the deal unfolds and what it could mean for the legendary basketball player and his family. Amid this shocking news, MJ’s son Marcus shared a rare photo of father and son together, along with the caption ‘Did I lose you?’

Michael Jordan had a spectacular career as a basketball player, but he failed to emulate his on-court success in his role as an NBA team owner. The Charlotte Hornets made it to the playoffs just thrice since 2009, winning 0 rounds. Fans now speculate whether the perennial competitor, obsessed with winning at everything in life, is finally hanging up his boots to spend more time with his family. This recent Marcus Jordan photo furthered such speculations.

Marcus Jordan shares an old memory with Michael Jordan 

In 2020, Michael Jordan reportedly sold a 20% stake in the Charlotte Hornets to the founders of Melvin Capital and D1 Capital. The sale reportedly earned him over $300 million, while he retained 80% ownership of the franchise. The current valuation of the Charlotte Hornets stands at $1.77 billion, which means that ‘His Airness’ stands to make a massive profit from his initial buy-in price. While the reason behind Jordan’s decision to sell the franchise remains unclear, the deal represents a significant return on his 13-year investment.

Hours after the shocking news of Michael Jordan potentially selling the Hornets broke, MJ’s son Marcus Jordan took to social media to share a heartwarming throwback photo of their younger selves.
