From Charlotte to . . . Charlotte

How 'bout them Charlotte Hornets I mean Bobcats. If only that were actually the case. George Shinn's reputation slowly eroded before the move to New Orleans for the Hornets and subsequently caused decline in attendance despite the hoopla of a basketball frenzy city. At the same time, the lack of luxury suites at the Coliseum was in dis-accord with Shinn. The result was Charlottes move to NOLA following the 2001-02 season.

In the mean time, the NBA promised Charlotte a new team in time for the 2004-05 season. Among bids for ownership included Larry Brid surfaced, but Robert L.Johnson of BET and his ownership group including the rapper Nelly became the first African-American owned franchise in the professional American sports leagues.

The Michael Jordan era only began in the summer of 2010 and so far he isn't doing very hot. In fact, his team finished with the NBA's worst record this past season . . . But that's impossible when we only associate greatness with Michael Jordan, right? No Matter, maybe the new look they unveiled will put the past behind them. This was done to kind of help them out, but they already put the new equip out.
