It is now very common for athletes to be on social media to connect easily with their fans. Even though it was something new to the older generation of stars, many have caught up with the trend. But the same cannot be said about Michael Jordan who does not use social media. However, the six-time NBA champion understandably uses technology extensively given his ownership responsibilities. But Jordan’s latest use of technology did not sit well with a lot of fans.

NBA legends like Magic Johnson, Shaquille O’Neal, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and so forth are very active on social media platforms. While Shaq is a very casual user, Abdul-Jabbar uses it to speak about social issues.

A rare Michael Jordan appearance on social media

Michael Jordan has tasted very little success as the owner of the Charlotte Hornets. During last year’s offseason, the team faced major controversy when Miles Bridges was arrested for multiple offenses including domestic violence. The shocking incident took place when the Hornets were in discussions with the star for a contract extension.

Amidst the court hearings, Bridges made a courtside appearance when the Hornets played against the Los Angeles Lakers in December. After LaMelo Ball clinched the win, Ball and Bridges were seen having a victory dance which made the fans furious. However, Bridges missed the whole of last season because of the issue as the Hornets succumbed to another disappointing season. But the future of the forward was still unknown until recently.

On April 14, 2023, NBA released a statement about Bridges. As per the release, “The NBA announced that Miles Bridges has been suspended for 30 games without pay as a result of domestic violence involving the mother of his children”?The statement also noted that the player will serve a 10-game suspension because he already missed the whole of last season.

This was met with the wrath of the fans. Amidst this, the 6’7″ star reportedly shared a video clip of Jordan on Snapchat recently with the caption, “Chopping it up with my guy”.
