When we speak of the NBA, there can’t be a conversation without mentioning Michael Jordan. His legacy in the world of basketball grows deep. He solidified himself as a true winner in the sport. Winning six championships with the Bulls, he knows the sacrifice that comes with winning. However, he recently got his first win in another sport.

At the end of the NASCAR season last year, Jordan created 23XI Racing with Denny Hamlin. Now, they won their first-ever NASCAR race; their driver Bubba Wallace won the race at the Talladega Superspeedway. His efforts finally payed off after a few top-five finishes.

In an interview, Michael spoke about Bubba Wallace’s win and how it left him emotional as well.

Michael Jordan said: “To see the emotion from Bubba tells you everything about how much work he’s put into it. How much effort and how much he wanted to win, and I even dropped a tear because I know he’s passionate.”

Knowing Jordan, he will now eye for more success with 23XI going forward. However, when it comes to the NBA, MJ has the Charlotte Hornets with a lot of potential talent. But can they gain success like his NASCAR team?

Can Michael Jordan find similar success with Charlotte?

The Hornets are a young team in the NBA. However, they have exciting talent in their roster. Notably, former ROTY, LaMelo Ball headlines the rosters’ young talent. But it seems too early to have hopes from the organization. While there is talent, they do lack in experience.

The players with some playoff experience on the Hornets are Terry Rozier and Gordon Hayward. Apart from them, the whole team is young and yet to develop into their full potential. Hence, for now, they are still in the stage of figuring out what works best for the team.
