Michael Jordan Intends to Be Hornets Alternate Governor If He Sells Majority Stake

Michael Jordan apparently plans on remaining involved with the Charlotte Hornets and the NBA as a whole even if he sells his majority stake in the franchise.

NBA commissioner Adam Silver said Jordan told him the plan is to remain as an alternate governor in Charlotte and be involved with the NBA moving into the future, per Tim Bontemps of ESPN.

Silver's comments come after ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported on March 16 that His Airness was in "serious talks to sell a majority stake in the franchise to a group led by Hornets minority [governor] Gabe Plotkin and Atlanta Hawks minority [governor] Rick Schnall.
