The stories of Micheal Jordan’s competitiveness during his playing days are legendary, and during last night’s game between the Hornets and Pistons, the now 55-year-old Charlotte owner turned back the clock by giving second year guard Malik Monk a vintage scolding for getting T’d up for running on the court after Jeremy Lamb hit the apparent game winner with .3 seconds still on the clock.
