Nepotism is a wonderful thing. Talent doesn’t always matter when you have family that can get you places. We see it all the time in sports, whether it’s concerning playing or coaching.
Michael Jordan’s brother is now benefiting from nepotism. I could be wrong, but I don’t believe we’ve ever heard of Jordan’s brother from a ‘great basketball-mind’ point of view. Regardless, MJ has promoted his brother Larry as Bobcats Director of Player Personnel, which is a pretty significant role in a team’s front office.
Good luck, Larry.
Larry Jordan, older brother of Charlotte Bobcats owner Michael Jordan, is being promoted to the team’s director of player personnel, a team spokesman confirmed Tuesday night.
The promotion of Larry Jordan, previously holding the title of director of special projects, was first reported by Yahoo Sports.
Jordan, who would report to team president of basketball operations Rod Higgins and general manager Rich Cho, is in Las Vegas this week for the Bobcats’ participation in summer league. He’ll be doing various scouting assignments in this new job.
