Whatever Michael Jordan touched turned into gold in his life except for his ownership role with the Charlotte Hornets. The Chicago Bulls legend is yet to taste success with Charlotte’s team ever since he acquired it in 2010. The team has been consistently performing poorly over the last decade. Additionally, as an insult to the injury, a 21-year-old Hornets player almost left Air Jordan hanging in the side court during the Friday night game against the Orlando Magic. Moreover, the fans spotted the incident and flooded the social media comments section with hilarious reactions.

As usual, the Hornets’ performance in the current season has also been underwhelming. The team is currently in the 14th seed of the Eastern Conference with a poor 20-45 record. Notably, the fans spotted Jordan burying his face in his lap, witnessing his team’s disappointing performance on Friday.

Michael Jordan survives an embarrassing moment

After completing 28 minutes of play, the Hornets center Mark Williams reached out to his teammates in the side court for handshakes. Meanwhile, Williams unknowingly ignored Michael Jordan, who reached his hand out for a shake. However, he immediately turned around to save his boss from embarrassment.
