In the US, Charlotte pro teams have gone the second-most years without a championship

[Henne Given Sunday]

We are....now.

fuging ouch.

These stats are misleading. You can't count the Bobcats years without a championship and the SAME years the Panthers went without one as two separate years. For example...last year the Panthers and Bobcats both didn't win. That should count as one calendar year Charlotte didn't win a championship, not two.

But it's two teams so it's two years.

I am extremely confident that the Carolina Panthers will win a SB within my lifetime!

If you don't believe, you shouldn't be a Panthers Fan!

[Seal (SmittyIsOurSavior)]

I would technically count the Hurricanes even though they're not Charlotte based.

And by the way, practically all Nascar teams are based in Charlotte, producing many championships.

That's silly. 33 years ago is what we stand at, right?

1977

How much were Hornets tickets in 77? The whole process should be how long a CITY has gone without a championship, and for Charlotte it has been since the Hornets started playing ball.

I agree. Cause some places are missing sports, like Charlotte without an MLB and NHL team, while other places have as many as 8 pro teams (New York ) It just isn't fair like that.

It's like saying the Supreme Court has 500 years of experience. We know none of them are 500 years old, but you count them individually and add them together. Yes it's silly but it happens all the time.

We are....now.

Not yet. At least not according to the article SMF posted.

[necroplasm]

Panthers: 15 seasons

Hornets: 13 seasons

Bobcats: 5 seasons (not counting this year)

Can't complain too much.

[King Taharqa]

Bobcats will bring the NBA title to Charlotte. There will be a massive parade down Tryon St.

[Nicbsbll2]

The Carolina Panthers and the Carolina Hurricanes are both representative of both Carolina's, therefore it's only fair to count the Hurricanes too.

So, it's only been 4 years since we've had a championship!

.

ummmm no.

its a city based statistic. you cant count a team from Raleigh. hundreds of miles away.......just because the florida marlins won a world series in 2003, doesnt mean jacksonville should get credit. doesnt work like that.

When there's one team for the entire state for each of the major professional sports, and when 2/3 of the teams take the name of the region (not city) they represent, then yes it does.
