When the team owner is also a basketball icon, things can be a bit more hands-on for the Charlotte Hornets.
Owner Michael Jordan met with the players before Saturday’s game with the Los Angeles Lakers, looking for answers to what’s ailing this roster. The Hornets lost six of seven heading into this game, and they looked dreadful in the second of two losses this season to the 4-20 Chicago Bulls.
By the description of veteran forward Marvin Williams, Jordan didn’t berate. It was more a fact-finding mission: With the coaches out of the room, he asked for concerns.
