Michael Jordan Reportedly in 'Serious Talks' to Sell Majority Stake in Hornets

Michael Jordan is in "serious talks" to sell a portion of his stake in the Charlotte Hornets, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

Jordan would retain a minority stake in the franchise, but Gabe Plotkin and Rick Schnall would become the co-governors.

Plotkin is a minority owner of the Hornets, while Schnall is a minority owner of the Atlanta Hawks.

This would be a great time for Jordan to sell up.

In December, Mat Ishbia agreed to purchase a controlling stake in the Phoenix Suns as well as the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury from Robert Sarver for $4 billion.
