San Jose, Costa Rica (PRWEB) April 9, 2004
BoDog.com Sportsbook and Casino has released odds on Michael Jordans ownership of an NBA Franchise prior to the 2005-06 season. Although Jordan was forced to relinquish his minority stake in the Washington Wizards prior to returning to play, rumors have begun to swirl as to Jordans potential ownership in an additional franchise in the near future.
I feel its wonderful for the game to have simply the most respected player to ever play in the NBA take on an ownership role, said Rob Gillespie, President of BoDog.com Sportsbook and Casino. Jordan is 1 of the most recognizable athletes in pro sports, and that quickly adds mystique to any team that he would have ownership in.
Commissioner David Stern is already on board with Jordan taking ownership, which could undoubtedly speed up the procedure. Currently the Phoenix Suns are the only NBA Team pro-actively seeking out new ownership, and for that reason they are presently the favorite. Jordan taking ownership in the Phoenix Suns is running at four/3 odds. Charlotte could turn out to be a two time NBA Franchise city, and if the Bobcats get off the ground Jordan could have stake in the team. The present odds for Jordan to have ownership in the Charlotte Bobcats are 6/1. Milwaukee seems like a team ready to speak with Jordan as nicely, presently at 3/1 odds. With his son playing High School hoops in Chicago, and Jordans extremely decorated past with the Bulls, Chicago would be a dream come true for his airness. Regrettably it does not appear like the Bulls are up for grabs, which is why Chicago is currently at 10/1 odds.
With so several teams potentially getting interest in Jordans ownership, the Field selection is offered at 7/2 odds. Washington was Jordans first run at NBA ownership, and the odds for him to return to the Wizards helm are 20/1. The extreme long shot team for Jordan is the Utah Jazz, at present sitting at 50/1 odds. You can also wager on Jordan not taking any ownership inside the subsequent 2 years, with odds running at 2/1.
Sports icons, similar to Jordan, have the capacity to turn teams around, and naturally generate much more dollars for the team, said Gillespie. Look what Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieuxs ownership has completed for Phoenix, and Pittsburgh respectively.
