Eric Church is investing some big bucks behind his home state’s NBA team. The country star is among a group of buyers finalizing a deal to buy a majority stake in the Charlotte Hornets from former star player Michael Jordan.
The news was revealed in a press release on Friday (June 16), confirming the sale to a body of investors that includes Church and rapper J. Cole.
Although an agreement has been tentatively reached between Jordan and the prospective buyers, the transfer of ownership must be approved by the NBA Board of Governors before being finalized.
This announcement really comes as no surprise, as Eric Church has been a die-hard fan of NC sports for years. Even once cancelling a concert so he could see the Tar Heels compete in the NCAA’s Final Four.
