π Air Jordan’s Reign Ends: Hornets Fly with a $3 Billion Tag! π
TL;DR; After 13 swanky years, the basketball legend Michael Jordan steps down as the big boss of the Charlotte Hornets. The torch now passes to Gabe Plotkin and Rick Schnall’s team after a mind-blowing $3 billion transaction.π₯
In the world of sports and business, where the game never really ends, and the players just change courts, our beloved hoop legend, Michael Jordan, has finally called it a quarter. What’s got the basketball world doing the Harlem Shake today? Jordanβs epic 13-year journey as the key stakeholder of the Charlotte Hornets has wrapped up, and boy, did it wrap with style! πβ¨
Hold up… π Just how big was this deal? Weβre talking $3 billion. Yep, that’s billion with a capital ‘B’, folks. That’s enough money to buy every human in New York a pair of Jordan shoes. And probably a matching cap! π§’π
The sale got almost unanimous love with a 29-1 vote. But hang on, who’s the one person giving it the side-eye? James Dolan, the New York Knicks’ owner. Why, James? Do tell. π€¨
With Jordan handing over his throne, we’ve got new players in the game. The group leading the possession charge is helmed by Gabe Plotkin and Rick Schnall. Wonder what new plays they’ve got up their sleeves for the Hornets?π€ And speaking of sleeves, will there be new jerseys? New mascots? Maybe a new dance move? ππΊ
