His Airness' second reign: Jordan returns to executive role

Posted Mar 5, 2010
Michael Jordan is poised to become the first ex-player to own a majority interest in an NBA franchise. When he becomes owner of the Charlotte Bobcats, he'll have no one to fire him the way the late Washington Wizards owner Abe Pollin did in 2003. "The most competitive (former players), like Jordan, can't be satisfied with taking orders or being part of somebody else's management team, they need to call the shots and do their own hiring and firing." (USA Today)
