Jordan told Stephanie Ready that in order for the Hornets to be successful in the Eastern Conference they have to challenge Lebron James.
With James moving back to the Cleveland Cavaliers and the completely revamped roster featuring a big three of James, Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving, the task is going to be very hard.
Jordan also spoke on Lance Stephenson and said that he overlooks the antics during the NBA Finals and looked toward finding a player would could challenge James.
Stephenson tried to get into James' head during the Eastern conference finals last season and was also caught blowing in James' ear.
The antics were the subject of heavy media and social media responses, some of which were serious but for the most part others that were comical.
He also said that drafting Kemba Walker and pairing him with Al Jefferson and Lance Stephenson will be a nice building block for the team.
Jordan says that his competitive nature is what drives him to keep a foot in the sport of basketball without having to step foot on the court.
