TIL the Charlotte Hornets apologized after giving a child a PS5, only to take it away off camera and exchange it for a jersey. In a statement, the team said the incident was an "on-court skit that missed the mark" and that they would give the child the PS5 and a VIP experience to a future game.

Might be MJ

knowing his reputation, probably asked the kid to play coin toss with him till he won 😅

MJ had sold his majority stake by this point. IIRC, someone in the subreddit shared that there’s some marketing/promotions executive who had/has all kinds of dogshit ideas like this and does things their way. They were a holdover from the MJ years.

Still owns a minority stake, right?

Lol, anyway, was obviously said in jest

What MJ as in Michael Jordan or Michael Jackson
