But a billionaire now the less.
He was the best player in the NBA. Dean Smith was the only one to keep him under 20 points a game.
I have to say MJ is my favorite athlete along with Roger Staubach and Emmitt Smith.
I have never been a Carolina fan, but what Jordan did with the Bulls was unreal. He elevated the game to new levels.

Thats fair. All I know was that in the town that I grew up in most basketball fans were either Sonics or Jazz fans. So MJ was a super villain in the playground due to how many NBA titles he denied.

No he didn’t. I was a Lakers fan in the 80s but Larry Bird absolutely saved the league. He made white people want to watch the NBA again. Period

Jordan absolutely grew the league to new levels. Bird and Magic saved it but Jordan grew it to higher levels

I thought this thread was about our new coach, Wes Miller, not Michael Jordan and the Lakers. Let’s get back on subject and keep the excitement in Charlotte moving forward.

Is there a list of portal targets?
I imagine come Monday night when the portal officially opens, we will see that start moving fast. I imagine a player or 2 follows from cincy
FYI:
The 2026 transfer portal will open on Tuesday, April 7, the day after the National Championship. This is two weeks later than the opening date last year. There is only a two-week window this season (two weeks shorter). So the portal will officially close on April 21 — no players can enter the transfer portal after that date unless there is a coaching change.
“There’s a new sheriff in town” and “It’s my league now” - MJ to Magic Johnson in the lead up to the Barcelona Olympics.

Been watching the Field of 68’s pregame show and while discussing the Malone hire, Goodman et al - like Williams below - also speculated about May being retained.
