However, the Hornets are currently on a five-game winning streak, defeating the Detroit Pistons in their last matchup. Despite the Hornets winning five games in a row, fans are calling out the team and its owner, Michael Jordan. Only because they are blowing their chances to get a once-in-a-generation player.

And teams around the league are tanking in the hopes of drafting the 7’2 giant. Fans are calling out Michael Jordan and the Hornets as their winning streak may end up putting a damper on their chances to get the number one pick. To the point that MJ should sell the $1.7 billion worth team.
