Ex-employee reveals true extent of Michael Jordan’s influence on court: ‘He’s going to…’

Michael Jordan played many incarnations during his time in the league. Whether it’s a phenomenal rookie, a scoring machine, an unproven win, a championship, or the ultimate GOAT. However, one of his roles in the league isn’t directly on the hardwood. Instead, it was the 6-foot-6 Mike sitting courtside who decided the fate of the Charlotte Hornets. As owner/general manager, Jordan has a lot of influence over the products that are launched. But the six-time NBA champion didn’t just shape the roster, he also exuded his characteristic fire.

Appearance Paul George’s Podcast P, Current Hornets and Michael-era signee Gordon Hayward dives deep into the Chicago Bulls legend’s operations. Hayward, who described the experience as “heartbreaking”, revealed how his former club will be involved on the pitch.

During the team’s games, the five-time NBA MVP continues to show his competitiveness for the sport. ““He’ll let the referee have it, he’ll go after the referee.” The Hall of Famer’s overwhelming presence on the court, often next to the team’s bench, also made the team nervous at times.

However, that fire can set the perfect example for teammates. Nearly 20 years after retiring, the passion, firepower and competitiveness for the game remain unchanged. Perhaps, this could serve as a sign that the current Hornets team is trying to emulate.

Led by a new core such as LaMelo Ball and “Paul George is my GOAt” Brandon Miller, their future could be as bright as ever. Young guys can learn valuable lessons from veterans like Terry Rozier and the aforementioned Hayward.

This is a development story.
