In an audio clip shared by Hoopsview, LaVar Ball said, "What advice is he going to give him?"

"Do you ever have milk in your refrigerator?" LaVar Ball asked "When the damn thing expires, I hope you throw it away. When was the last time [Jordan] won a championship?"

Jordan, who has been the Hornets’ majority owner since 2010, selected LaMelo Ball with the No. 3 overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft. Jordan, a 14-time All-Star and six-time NBA Finals MVP, would be an ideal mentor for one of the game’s up-and-coming stars. But LaVar Ball suggests the Hornets’ lack of success is attributable to Jordan's playing days being long over. Jordan retired in 2003.
