“LaMelo beats Ant to win Rookie of the Year,” He emphasized that point before commiserating with the one-time All-Star. “It’s not LaMelo’s fault” Before summarizing his claims, Austin stated, “He just needs help.” He summed up his beliefs by saying how Charlotte was completely wrong about trusting young people and growing up.

What went wrong with Michael Jordan?

Since buying the team in 2010, Jordan’s stardom has attracted a lot of attention. Their approaches are strategic, but unfortunately, they rarely bear fruit. As a shareholder, his heart was in the right place, but his actions while serving as majority shareholder failed to back up his promises.

Of course, Michael wasn’t just criticized for the entire situation with the young players in the organization. At the same time, as the face of the team, he must also bear all responsibilities. Therefore, the organization’s exit is imminent. The 60-year-old’s influence in decision-making has plummeted, but he remains a minority shareholder in the team.

Many consider it a successful business move, with Jordan making billions of dollars from it. True NBA fans just know that the serial winner sees this as his own failure because players like LaMelo Ball never reached their potential under his reign.
