Michael Jordan will be Charlotte’s ambassador to the NBA this weekend. As owner, that doesn’t mean his attention is off a restless Hornets fan base.
During a half-hour media session Tuesday, Jordan acknowledged, “We still have a lot of work to do” in improving the Hornets to a point they could make a deep playoff run.
Jordan rarely does such general media sessions, and reporters were asked to limit questions to the All-Star Weekend, which is Friday through Sunday in Charlotte..
Jordan’s team is 27-29, in seventh place in the Eastern Conference standings. If that holds up through the end of the regular season, the Hornets would qualify for the playoffs for the first time in three years.
