It wasn't just Michael Jordan's struggles as owner of the Charlotte Hornets that led him to turn away from basketball. Now a co-owner of NASCAR's Cup Series leader Tyler Reddick's team, Jordan said the rigors of stock car racing aren't nearly as taxing as NBA ownership. Asked if there is a 'teeny tiny part' of him that misses basketball, Jordan admitted it's actually something he thinks about often. Thankfully for Jordan, he's scratching that competitive itch in NASCAR — something that has helped to reconnect him with the memory of his late father. The six-time NBA champion's interview with King is expected to air in full on CBS Sunday.
