He was one of the best known Basketball stars in American History, and made huge millions from the game.
Michael Jordan, one of the few richest black sportsmen who invested wisely, becoming a billionaire on his 53rd birthday in February this year is anti-discrimination and would defend his belief no matter what as he joined issues with those promulgating anti-gay laws.

Recently, North Carolina passed the HB2 law, also known as the Charlotte bathroom bill, which reversed a change that protected the LGBT community who use the bathroom based on what gender they identify with. Along with that change, the law also made it illegal for cities in North Carolina to expand upon the state law and create new protections for the LGBT community.
Since the law was passed, many artists, entertainers, and personalities who were scheduled to make appearances in North Carolina have cancelled. Many have cited the law, making the comment that the new law is discriminatory. Now, Michael Jordan, who is the owner of the Charlotte Hornets and an UNC alum, has issued a statement on the law.
In a report by VLAD TV, Jordan was quoted as saying: “As my organization has stated previously, the Charlotte Hornets and Hornets Sports & Entertainment are opposed to discrimination in any form, and we have always sought to provide an inclusive environment.”
He went on: "As has been the case since the building opened, we will continue to ensure that all fans, players and employees feel welcome while at work or attending NBA games and events at Time Warner Cable Arena.”
"As of now, Charlotte is currently set to host the NBA All-Star festivities. However, North Carolina may truly feel the effect of their new law if the NBA decides to withdraw the 2017 NBA All-Star Weekend festivities from the state." VLAD TV reported.
