NBA Hall of Famer Michael Jordan has created an incredible legacy as a basketball superstar but the same possibly cannot be said when it comes to his role as the Charlotte Hornets owner. The Chicago Bulls legend was recently trolled by NBA fans after a former Hornet star made a surprising revelation. While ‘His Airness’ hardly gave the sports world any reason to question his skills as a player, the now-known fact caused fans to question his capability of managing the franchise.

Michael Jordan bought the majority of the stakes of the Charlotte Hornets back in 2010 gaining control over the franchise. In doing so, he became the first-ever former NBA player to own a team.

Michael Jordan used to play one-on-one with his players

NBA star Bismack Biyombo was previously a Charlotte Hornets player before he signed with the Phoenix Suns in 2022. The 30-year-old center played twice for the Hornets in a span of 10 years making a pit stop with the Toronto Raptors and the Orlando Magic in between. According to Dana Scott of AZ Central, Biyombo revealed that Michael Jordan had the habit of going one-on-one with his players and would end up defeating each one of them despite being in his early 50s.

“So this was probably I think seven, eight years ago. He would come into practice and just play one-on-one with players and just kill them, 100 percent. I (didn’t) think he could move like that,” Biyombo recalled.
