Michael Jordan may not have been a good NBA owner, but he's a good representative of the "brand"

In the Daily Checkdwon, Dennis Cox & Pat Welter discuss the latest from the Big Rock Blue Marlin Fishing Tournament, the U.S. Open at Los Angeles Country Club, Ja Morant's 25-game suspension to begin the 2023-2024 NBA season, and the issues regarding Wake Forest's Bob Klintmant and what happened with his NBA agent?

Also, Michael Jordan is selling a majority stake in the Charlotte Hornets after 13 years of ownership. The sale leaves Jordan with a 20% stake in the team, but he will remain as chairman of the board. The deal is reportedly worth $3 billion, and it is expected to close later this year. How good has Jordan been at building a brand based on his name alone?
