NBA says Michael Jordan can no longer choose who gets Jordan Brand deals

The NBA has told Charlotte Hornets owner Michael Jordan that he can't choose which players get a Jordan brand shoe deal.

The salary cap rules are very clear about the third-party endorsements not being allowed and Jordan brand shoe deals need to be decided by an executive that isn't Jordan.

Over the last seven years, we've had six Hornets/Bobcats players given Jordan shoe deals.
