Jordan may buy part of Hornets
The Associated Press
Charlotte Hornets officials and those with the NBA say Jordan spoke with team owner George Shinn earlier this month about buying a 50 percent share of the NBA franchise.
Jordan also told the Charlotte Observer he had met with John Fennebresque, who is in charge of developing a new arena for the Hornets.
CHICAGO — It's easy to picture Michael Jordan as an executive. Dressed in the finest suit money can buy, chomping on a cigar in his office and simply taking charge, as he did so often on the court.
player to part-time owner.
According to the Chicago Sun-Times, which cited unidentified sources in an article Sunday, Jordan and agent David Falk were in the Bahamas, discussing the move from retired
ever he wants to do,
Bulls chairman Jerry
Reinsdorf told the newspaper
Saturday. "I also believe he would make a good owner. He is good at everything he does.
Michael is very bright and has very good insight into things that he focuses on."
Less than three months removed from his second retirement as a player, Jordan is considering a move to the other side of the business.
"If this is something Michael wants to do, I'm all for it, because he's earned the right to do."
Reinsdorf said several years ago he had briefly talked to Jordan about buying into the Bulls.
"That wasn't an offer,
Reinsdorf said. "I asked
him if he'd like to be. He said no. He said he didn't think he would enjoy being an owner

because he thought he would not be tolerant of the players."
Reinsdorf, speaking to the Chicago Tribune from Arizona, speculated that Jordan would want to hire Phil Jackson as his coach. He said he would like to see Falk become general manager because "then he (Jordan) will save all the rest of the teams a lot of money."
Shinn was granted an expansion franchise for $32.5 million and was revered in Charlotte when the Hornets made their debut in 1988. Now, he's gotten the reputation for refusing to pay the big money to keep top players — the Hornets lost stars Alonzo Mourning, Larry Johnson and Glen Rice from a team that once appeared on its way to the top.
Hornets officials said that no firm dates had been set for the two sides to meet again but that both parties had agreed to stay in touch.
Coach Dave Cowens resigned in frustration this month, and fans have been staying away.
Magic-Bird matchup was memorable game
The Associated Press
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Magic vs. The Birdman.
This was the showdown everyone in America wanted, and when Indiana State defeated DePaul and Michigan State beat Penn in the NCAA semifinals 20 years ago, it arrived.
Larry Bird and Magic Johnson, the two most compelling players in the country, would at last go at one another with the national title at stake.
All but ignored was DePaul coach Ray Meyer's first trip to the Final Four since 1943 and the unlikely journey to the semifinals by Ivy League representative Penn.
They were nothing more than minor obstacles in the way of the Magic-Bird show.
There had been other fascinating Final Fours — the UCLA dynasty with 10 championships in 12 years, Indiana's undefeated 1976 champions, Texas Western's all-black team beating Kentucky's all-white team in 1966.
But rarely had there been a superstar standoff like this one.
This was not just the Sycamore vs. the Spartans. This was Bird, a 6-foot-9 shaggy-haired forward with a shot scout dream about, vs. Johnson, a 6-foot-8 point guard whose ball-handling and shooting

One was laconic, the other effusive. Bird was all business, loathe to talk about himself. Johnson was all smiles, enthusiastic all the time. Maybe it was that contrast in personalities that made this matchup so intriguing.
skills seemed nothing less than mystical.
Johnson has said it was like two guys wanting to be the best, a couple of gunslingers facing each other down, knowing only one could survive. To this day, he loves to talk about the game, but Bird is tightlipped.
"Magic has been promoting that because he won the game," Bird said. "If I won the game, you would have never heard of it."
A year later, they would move together to the NBA and transform the league. Bird with the Boston Celtics, Johnson with the Los Angeles Lakers.
But on March 26, 1979, in the Special Events Center at the University of Utah, they had one last college game, the first duel in what would become a long-standing rivalry.
"There was such an aura there that the two of them brought to the game," said Duke's Mike Krzyzewski, who was coaching Army then. "They showcased it in the same way they went on to showcase the NBA."

Although Gentry had talked about playing Stackhouse on Gary Payton, Hunter lobbied to keep the assignment and outscored the Seattle All-Star 20-10.
