Michael Jordan Reportedly Frustrated by Warriors' Success and it's Because He's a Bad Owner

Michael Jordan set the standard for all who followed after finally calling it quits on his immortal basketball career, highlighted by six championships with the Chicago Bulls. He later made history once again when he purchased the Charlotte Bobcats in 2010, becoming the first former NBA player to date to serve as majority owner of a team.

Other than changing the team's name back to the Hornets, unfortunately, Charlotte hasn't done much on the court under MJ's leadership. This week, Northwestern journalism professor and former ESPN writer JA Adande described Jordan as "frustrated" by the fact he doesn't have the financial resources that a team like the Golden State Warriors have under Joe Lacob and Peter Guber.

But honestly, that feels like a cop-out.

Jordan might not be directly in charge of basketball operations, as Mitch Kupchak is running the show in that department, but you're kidding yourself if you think that MJ isn't the loudest voice in the room when it comes to anything that effects the on-court product.

While MJ might be upset that his playing career and merchandise sales haven't allowed him to reach the same financial status as the titans of Silicon Valley and venture capital, the Hornets have been a model of how not to build a team -- and it's got almost nothing to do with money. (Jordan is a billionaire, after all.)

The Bobcats/Hornets posted just two winning seasons in the last decade, all the while alienating the best player in franchise history in Kemba Walker. Drafting busts like Michael Kidd-Gilchrist and Noah Vonleh while giving players like Nicolas Batum and Terry Rozier a combined $158 million in free agency isn't the way to get a team to the playoffs.

The notoriously competitive Jordan doesn't believe in tanking, either, which is an unfortunate thing if you're a Hornets fan.

For all the money behind them, the Warriors drafted and developed Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green while going outside of the box to hire Steve Kerr. Jordan has failed to replicate their ingenuity, which is the single biggest reason why the Hornets can't get out of first gear.
