Michael Jordan notches first win tonight as brand new owner of Bobcats !
Here’s a man every single black and or white athlete out there can mold their lives after if they wish to set themselves apart from the other thugs and wannabe “gangsta’s” in shorts both on the court and off.
In fact Jordan’s life can serve as a template to success for just about anyone in any field anywhere as he’s now not only the greatest basketball player to ever live he’s now the first former NBA player to become principle owner of an NBA team taking it over from friend and former boss when Jordan was co-owner, Bob Johnson of publishing fame.
Now here’s 2 black men I’d vote for president and VP in a second, who have everything it takes to succeed in whatever they do, have done and accomplished in their lives. That’s the attitude we need at the top in this world today. And furthermore, both men are tremendous patriots running circles around Obama in that arena as well.
How about Johnson and Jordan in 2016!!! You can bet they’re both republicans now if they weren’t before, with all the money they’ve made and all the taxes they’ll now be paying under Obama’s generational theft agenda.
Bobcats beat Thunder to give Jordan first win.
CHARLOTTE, N.C.(AP) Michael Jordan was known to play his best against the best. The team he now owns seems to fit that description, too.
Hours after Jordan was approved as the first former player to be a majority owner of an NBA team, his Charlotte Bobcats continued a remarkable string of success against the better teams in the NBA, rallying from 19 points down to beat the Oklahoma City Thunder 100-92 on Wednesday night.
Stephen Jackson scored 18 of his 20 points in the second half, Stephen Graham matched a career high with 19 points filling in for the injured Gerald Wallace, and the Bobcats sent poor-shooting Kevin Durant and the Thunder to only their fourth loss in 21 games.
Jordan may have won six NBA titles and five league MVPs as a player – but now he's also 1-0 as an owner.
“Happy owner, happy team, happy organization,'' Jackson said.
Charlottes seventh win in eight games came a night after an ugly loss at struggling Indiana. It's been a trend: Charlotte is 1-2 against the seven-win New Jersey Nets, yet have won three straight against Cleveland, beat Orlando on Sunday and have taken seven of the last nine meetings against the Los Angeles Lakers.
This game, though, had a different feel.
Jordan, who was a part-owner with the final say on basketball decisions, sat in his customary seat at the end of the Charlotte bench. But this was the first time he did it as the big boss. The league’s Board of Governors on Wednesday unanimously approved his $275 million purchase from Bob Johnson.
