Since taking over the Hornets in 2010, Michael Jordan has been unable to match his success as the greatest player in NBA history. The Bobcats have only two playoff appearances since 2011. And only two winning NBA betting records in that span. As a result, Jordan has faced plenty of criticism during his tenure. TNT analyst and former NBA great Charles Barkley weighed in. Sir Charles implied that Jordan runs his team on the cheap. And that the Hornets are one of the worst run franchises in the Association. Charlotte faces Indiana Tuesday night.
