For the 67-year-old Jordan, the eldest of five siblings and big brother to Hornets minority owner Michael Jordan, that laundry list of chores is all in a day’s work and he shrugs at the number of things on his plate daily. It’s simply his makeup, a foundation established thanks to a military career spanning more than three decades. He’s a veteran and wears that dedication to service proudly, often pointing to it being the blueprint to his core values. “I think some of it is the way I grew up,” said Jordan, who hails from Wilmington. “I grew up in the country and I worked in probably every little field possible. And when I was in high school, I joined ROTC. And ROTC taught me about discipline, being on time, how you dress, how you focus, how you work as a team. I graduated on the sixth of June in 1975, and on the ninth of June I joined the Army.” -via Charlotte Observer / November 11, 2024
