Charlotte Hornets owner Michael Jordan has told Golden State’s owner that the Warriors’ 73-win season a year ago was essentially meaningless – a message that offers a clue as to what MJ thinks about his own team these days.
Joe Lacob, who owns the Warriors, appeared on a San Francisco Bay Area radio station Tuesday and said Jordan told him during some down time during a meeting of NBA owners in New York that because Golden State didn’t win the title in 2016 that “73 don’t mean ----.”
The Warriors won 73 games in the 2015-16 regular season – breaking the regular-season record of 72 wins held by Jordan’s 1995-96 Chicago Bulls – but then lost a 3-1 lead to Cleveland in the NBA Finals.
