If Michael Jordan asks, "O brother, where art thou?," while at work, the reply will be, "Yon, in myn cushy office, which thou hast graciously bestowed upon unworthy I."* MJ has promoted his older sibling, Larry Jordan, to Director of Player Personnel, a position unoccupied since 2009, when it was held by MJ's former college roommate (his RA must've felt so slighted). Larry's prior title within the organization was the vague Director of Special Projects (we picture him making dioramas of DeSagana Diop). Maybe Jordan's bro has what it takes to fix the broken Bobcats. The Bobcats are broken, but can Michael Jordan's bro fix them? He'll need to be more hands-on than his famous family member, who tends to favor a Hanes-on approach.
It's all relatives with the Bobcats. Two previous head coaches, Bernie Bickerstaff and Paul Silas, hired sons as assistants, President of Basketball Operations Rod Higgins' lad played 44 games in parts of the last two seasons, and Associate Head Coach Patrick Ewing's boy is currently on the summer league squad. Two of "His Airness'" three offspring also have jobs with the team he owns. With that in mind and Larry now assuming a larger role, we await the appointment of Moe and Curly.
