NBA legend Michael Jordan was the first former player to become a majority owner of a franchise when he bought major stakes in the Charlotte Hornets in 2010. But he has not been able to turn them into a winning team. Ever since he took over, the Hornets have had very little success in the league. It is no secret MJ was one of the most competitive athletes ever and hates losing. So the lack of success as an owner has been a hard pill to swallow for the six-time NBA champion. However, he had the chance to build a championship team according to LaVar Ball.
