a lot of teams are owned in partnership groups too though mutt..and they add in former players or famous people to gain clout with the league, or the city they are trying to purcase the team in...
That is how Bush jr. got his sweetheart partnership deal in the texas rangers. The partners knew they city would fall all over themselves to do favors for bush.

Michael Jordan is wealthy but NBA teams these days are owned by corporations and individuals with hundreds of millions of dollars - Michael doesn't have that kind of money. And I don't think you're going to see any team want anything to do with him in management or minority ownership. The owner in Charlotte is the first black person to own a major pro sports franchise, he never entertained hiring Jordan for any job.
don't worry about Mike, nothing but craps tables, cigars and ho's in his future. we should all be so lucky.
