File-This April 6, 2009, file photo shows former North Carolina and NBA player Michael Jordan at halftime of the championship game at the men's NCAA Final Four college basketball tournament. It’s well-known that Jordan uses failure to motivate him. The only thing seemingly that has eluded the 55-year-old Jordan is ultimate success as an executive and team owner. His Hornets have yet to win a playoff series since he took over as majority owner nine years ago and they remain marred in NBA mediocrity while struggling to compete in a small market. But Jordan wants to keep his team, and the city, relevant. It’s one reason he aggressively pursued the All-Star game with such vigor. (AP Photo/Paul Sancya, File) **FILE**
