Bucks co-owner Lasry: we’re going to focus on beating MJ’s Bulls record and winning a championship

Milwaukee Bucks co-owner Marc Lasry wants to beat Michael Jordan’s Bulls record and win the NBA title.

Lasry shared a conversation he had in Paris with Charlotte Hornets owner Michael Jordan.

Per ESPN, “Everybody wants to be recognized for being unique and different. I mean, all these players,” said Lasry, whose Bucks defeated Jordan’s Charlotte Hornets 116-103. “When I was in Paris, I was talking to Michael about this, and I said, ‘Well, what do you think? I think we’ve got a real shot at doing what you guys have done [win 70 games]. This is a really unique team.’

“And he goes, ‘Look, my advice to you is don’t focus on beating our record, focus on winning a championship.’ And I said, ‘Wow, that’s great. Thank you for that. Just so you know, we’re going to focus on beating your record and winning a championship.’ I think we should do everything, but that’s me.”

“I was hoping we’d get to 80. … I know everybody’s happy at 70, but I was going for 80,” Lasry said, laughing. “When we ended up losing a couple more games, I was like, ‘Damn.’ But we’ll see. I’m the wrong person to talk to because I actually think we’re really good, we have all these capabilities, and what’s actually unique about our team is how much it’s a team.
