I believe many fans have heard of the Jordan ban. This was set up specifically for Jordan by the league in 2015. The specific content of the ban is that Jordan's AJ is not allowed to use Hornets players for endorsements. So why is the league still targeting Jordan so many years after he retired?
Actually, when it comes to AJ, we should also talk about Nike. I believe everyone has heard about Nike’s rise. Nike was originally a small company, but because of its fancy for Jordan, as Jordan became famous Developed due to huge growth. Later, Nike, which gradually grew bigger, saw that the sales of the AJ series were good, so it made Jordan the president of operations of AJ, and Jordan also gained a rich fortune. After becoming rich, Jordan bought an NBA team, the Hornets.
After Jordan became the dual identity of sponsor and team owner, he used his brain and finally the league had to formulate a ban against Jordan. Jordan's secret manipulation happened in 2015. When McGeege was a popular player in the league, many teams wanted to pay a high price to get him. However, in the end, McGeege chose the Hornets, which had the smallest contract. It's beyond people's expectations.
The league realized later that although McGeege received a low-priced contract, Jordan, as the team owner, made up for him with AJ's contract. The purpose of Jordan's doing this is to save salary space. If Jordan's behavior is not prohibited, then with a "yin and yang contract" similar to McGeege, Jordan can even make all the players on the team top stars in the league. , which is very detrimental to the development of the league, so the Jordan ban came into being.
Of course many people want to ask who inspired Jordan’s Yin-Yang contract? Well, this goes back to the Jordan period. At that time, the Knicks used a yin and yang contract to attract Jordan, but was rejected in the end.
