There’s an irony to Michael Jordan making the Bulls so valuable he couldn’t buy them. When the Hornets deal is done, he should return where he belongs — Chicago.
in Orlando, not Chicago. There is almost nothing named after him, except a generation of kids and dogs.The statue is how he is celebrated these days, and it’s a shame that the Bulls moved it inside their atrium when it opened in 2017. The United Center atrium is generally open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., but I’ve been disappointed before taking out-of-towners down there only to find it closed.
But maybe it’s time to welcome back Jordan, time to bring him back into the fold. He’d have to divest from the minority stake in the Hornets that he’s said to be keeping in the wake of a reported $3 billion sale to Gabe Plotkin and Rick Schnall, but he could use his profits to pay a handsome price for a piece of his old team.
Now, let’s be clear. Should Jordan be running basketball operations for the Bulls? No. Would he want some kind of public-facing role, shaking hands and schmoozing fans? Oh god no. He could show up when he wanted to and bask in the adoration of a city that still loves him.In terms of money, he’s a rich, old guy now, so he should be looking for investments to placate his ego. Getting a share of the Bulls would be a nice vanity addition to his portfolio.
