New Hornets owners Rick Schnall and Gabe Plotkin speak to the media

The Charlotte Hornets officially officially came under new ownership today. That included a thank you letter from former majority owner Michael Jordan, who will be taking a step back to focus on other aspects of his life, though he’ll maintain a minority share of the team.

The new owners sat down with the media to answer questions from the media and said stuff to get everybody hyped for new owners, as we are wont to do. Here are some highlights from the press conference:

  • Rick Schnall first met Michael Jordan as a 35-year-old at Jordan’s fantasy basketball camp.
