The Charlotte Hornets has officially approved the sale of a majority stake in the team from basketball legend Michael Jordan to “The Buyer Group,” an organization that includes J. Cole. The deal now moves to NBA for final approval.




The Buyer Group was co-founded by Gabe Plotkin, founder of Tallwoods Capital LLC, and Rick Schnall, co-president of Clayton, Dubilier & Rice LLC. Both men are alternate governors on the NBA Board of Governors. Other members of the group include singer-songwriter Eric Church. Michael Jordan will remain with the team as a minority owner.

A handful of music stars have attempted to buy sports teams recently, though Cole is the only one who’s been successful. Both Snoop Dogg and The Weeknd signed on to separate, competing bids to purchase the Ottawa Senators; both were rejected.

Just like when Nelly was a minority owner of the Bobcats

How do majority owners dictate to minority owners? Or does it not work that way

Man fukk that hating ass shyt y’all talking about. If I own .0000000001% of an NBA team, then I’m going around telling everyone I know I’m part owner. Matter of fact, I’m referring to that bytch as my team and acting like I am important part of the decision making process

I guess that’s cool. Maybe he can join the team cause they were struggling all of last year.

Was randomly listening to some G Unit and caught this line:
"These days you can't believe what you hear on the street/nikka said he owned the team and only owned a seat"
