[VIDEO] Jordan's Emotional Speech

[bLACKpANTHER]

..on winning Charlotte Business Man of the Year.

 

[Dexterity]

MJ wants to win a championship as an owner. He can't help himself, it's his borderline psychopathic obsession with winning and competitiveness. He wants to win and give a big middle finger to everyone who criticizes and doubts him- that stuff fuels him. I mean really, really fuels him. The media is constantly mocking and laughing at MJ's failures in DC. IMO, if they weren't so annoying and persistent with that garbage MJ would've rode off into the sunset. He'd probably be living on a golf resort in Florida with his wife. I don't think he would've ever gotten involved in NBA management. But their criticism has lit a fire inside him. They've poked at the most competitive person living on this planet. And he's determined to get the last laugh.

But all this should've been known by everyone already. MJ already has a billion dollar brand. He didn't buy a team to make money. He just wants to win. If anyone can bring an NBA championship to Charlotte, it's Michael Jordan.

I disagree. What I took away from it was that he is NOT the maniacal manager from his Washington days like his narrative always suggests and most likely always will suggests until Charlotte becomes a successful NBA franchise again.

He's newly married, has young children to raise, and finally matured as an NBA executive, realizing that he needed to be more hands off and hire folks with experience in running a team. It's nice to see that he finally got some recognition for turning things in the right direction. It may not be reflected in the record right now or national media, but you'd be hardpressed to find anyone around Charlotte who would say we aren't light years from the BoJo days.

No, I don't mean that he's hands on or anything like that. I just meant he's determined to build a winner and will do whatever it takes.

[RelaxImaPro]

Half expected him to take a shot at Leroy Smith or Bryon Russell during the speech

[Cary Kollins]

that's my owner, man

[MichaelNewtonII]

Hopefully he can bring a championship here within the next 10-15 years

[Kramerica]

A lot of people make MJ out to be a huge jerk, and hey, maybe he is...but that was legit.

[TheNewStandard]

MJ is no jerk. He still acts like a kid and is very self-conscious. Most competitive person on the planet and will trade barbs and shoot the poo with anyone. He wants the hornets to thrive and he will do what it takes to make it happen and keep the buzz alive in his home state.
