Charlotte Bobcats owner Michael Jordan
NBA Fines Michael Jordan $100,000
The Hall-of-Famer and current Bobcats owner opened up to some reporters recently -- and the league didn't like it.
Bobcats owner Michael Jordan has been fined $100,000 by the NBA for talking publicly last month about the lockout and Andrew Bogut, ESPN’s Chris Broussard reported via Twitter.
Speaking to the Herald Sun in Australia, Jordan said of the NBA’s economic system, "The model we’ve been operating under is broken. We have 22 or 23 teams losing money, (so) I think we have gotta come to some kind of understanding in this partnership that we have to realign. I know the owners are not going to move off what we feel is very necessary for us to get a deal in place where we can coexist as partners. We need a lot of financial support throughout the league as well as revenue sharing to keep this business afloat."
