Michael Jordan becomes part owner of the Bobcats

Michael Jordan is back in the NBA, resuming his basketball career in the state where it started.

Jordan became part-owner of the Charlotte Bobcats on Thursday in a deal that gives him a stake in most of majority partner Robert Johnson's ventures.

Jordan's investment makes him second only to Johnson as the largest individual owner of the Bobcats.

Johnson, who spent $300 million on the expansion Bobcats in 2002, said Jordan will be the managing member of basketball operations.
"Ever since I acquired the Bobcats franchise, one of my goals has been to get Michael Jordan to become my partner in operating the team," Johnson said. "I don't think I have to make the case for Michael's basketball expertise, his knowledge or his competitiveness as a player.

"I am very excited to have a native North Carolinian be a part of the Bobcats and excited to have a friend of mine -- who I have absolute confidence in -- oversee our basketball personnel decision making process."

Is that a good or bad thing? He made a mess out of the Wizards.
 
If he wants to own a team go ahead...just as long as he surrounds himself with good people and doesnt try to get by on his name
 
As a GM he was as bad as can be.

He swore KWAME BROWN was the next dominant Big man in the game...set back the Wizards at least a few years and about 20 million dollars.

to be fair, Eddy Curry and Tyson Chandler never panned out, and Shane Battier would've been criticized as well.

Jordan made some mistakes, but he did make some ok moves as well. Had he not tried to play again, he wouldn't have been looked at as a failure.

And unlike Washington, he's not going to have a bunch of his chronies surrounding him.
