The Charlotte Hornets season has probably made for a lot crying Jordan this year, but team chairman Michael Jordan has something to be happy about. The NBA has redesigned its end of season awards and named them after legends of the game. Michael Jordan gets the highest honor of them all—the Michael Jordan Most Valuable Player award.
