Michael Jordan, the iconic American former professional basketball legend—not football—has made headlines once again, this time off the court. In a surprising and unprecedented move, the Indiana Pacers have named Jordan their new assistant general manager. Known globally for his extraordinary career with the Chicago Bulls, where he won six NBA championships and redefined the game of basketball, Jordan now takes on a new challenge in basketball operations.
Though he previously held majority ownership and served as chairman of the Charlotte Hornets, Jordan stepped down from that role in 2023. His transition to a front office position with the Pacers signals a renewed interest in directly shaping a team’s competitive future. With his unparalleled experience, fierce competitive nature, and deep understanding of the game, Jordan is expected to bring a winning mindset and a strategic edge to the Pacers’ organization.
Pacers President Kevin Pritchard expressed excitement about the hire, stating that Jordan’s leadership and championship pedigree will be invaluable as the team builds for the future. While fans are surprised by the move, many are hopeful it signals a bold new era for Indiana basketball. Jordan’s legacy continues—this time from the front office, where his influence may be just as powerfull.
