Michael Jordan is widely considered the greatest basketball player of all time, and he is generally talked about when referencing his basketball ability. However, Jordan is also known for being the governor of the Charlotte Hornets, who have been looking like a potential playoff team this year.

Last night, Michael Jordan was in attendance for the Charlotte Hornets game against the New York Knicks. While Michael Jordan was shown to be frustrated at the end of the game at a specific play where Kelly Oubre shot the ball instead of running the clock down, he was likely happy with the end result, with the Hornets beating the Knicks 104-96.

Miles Bridges has recently revealed what it feels like to play in front of Michael Jordan, claiming that it “definitely gives you nerves”, though he added that it’s “great to have him out there”. It makes sense that players would want to impress Jordan not only due to his position as the franchise’s governor but also due to his status as the widely accepted GOAT of basketball. Roderick Boone of the Charlotte Observer relayed Bridges’ words.

“The greatest basketball player of all time on the bench supporting you, it definitely gives you nerves. I came out and missed a few layups, missed three few free throws. But as soon as we started settling in and started playing our game, I feel like that’s when it took a turn. That’s when we started going on our runs. But it’s great to have him out there.”

As Bridges mentions, he clearly got over his nerves and finished with 24 points. Miles Bridges has been an early candidate for Most Improved Player this year, and he has given the Charlotte Hornets All-Star level production thus far.

Michael Jordan is viewed as a legend among players and it is nice to see him come out and support the players on his team. We’ve seen him at a fair number of Hornets games in the past, and hopefully, Michael Jordan will continue being out there and cheering for the Hornets.
