CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -Charlotte Bobcats coach Larry Brown would be “nervous” if an ownership change stripped Michael Jordan of his role running the team’s basketball operations.
Brown said Friday that he hasn’t spoken to majority owner Bob Johnson, who is looking to sell after losing millions of dollars. Jordan owns a minority stake, but Johnson has granted him the final say on basketball personnel decisions. Jordan hired Brown before last season.
Jordan has said he’d like to someday become majority owner, but has declined to address Johnson’s desire to sell. Johnson declined an interview request on Friday.
A Hall of Famer coaching his record ninth NBA team, Brown said he “came here because of Michael.”
