Brandon Miller , a rookie with the Charlotte Hornets, recently made headlines with his comments about Michael Jordan , the basketball legend and minority owner of the Hornets. During a workout session, Miller witnessed Jordan airballing a free throw, which he found both shocking and amusing. He expressed his disbelief, saying that even at 61, Jordan missing a free throw seemed crazy to him.
Miller’s comments also revealed that Michael Jordan had taunted him about his inability to palm a basketball, which added to the tension. This incident has sparked debate among fans and analysts, with some seeing it as a sign of confidence and competitiveness, while others believe it shows a lack of respect for Jordan’s status and contributions to the game.
He was talking cash money, and I seen him airball that free throw, and it was just up from there. You know, Jordan missing a free throw is crazy. Even at his age, that’s crazy. Jordan missed airballing a free throw? That’s crazy. He’s supposed to start up layups, get warmed up… He kept telling me I couldn’t palm a basketball… But after the workout, I was like, let me just get this picture real quick. I had to get the flick. Brandon Miller said on the Knuckle Heads Podcast.

The Hornets’ future looks promising with Brandon Miller, LaMelo Ball, and Miles Bridges, and new head coach Charles Lee. Miller’s comments may serve as motivation for him to continue developing his game and prove himself as a worthy opponent.
Overall, the incident has added to the complex narrative which surrounded Jordan’s later years in basketball, from his successful playing career to his less successful tenure as the owner of the Hornets. Despite this, the future of the Charlotte Hornets looks bright with their young core and new leadership.
