Just 1st 8 seasons for Hornets.

Attendance average:

Bobcats - 15229

Hornets - 23687

Winning %, Including Playoffs:

Bobcats - .359

Hornets - .417

Playoffs:

Bobcats - 1 appearance in 8 seasons. 0-4 sweep

Again, I dont think these numbers mean much. I was just curious to compare trajectories

Bob Johnson gave millions to local YMCAs, reached out and built relationships with NASCAR and the Panthers that are still strong to this day. He was also active with the local african american community and their business leaders. Explain how Shinn did more for the community? Keep in mind he moved a local business that took tons of jobs with it. Bob never moved his business from here, in fact the main reason he sold it to MJ was so it would remain here.

Yes Shinn did more for the community. He was way more active. Here is an article.

Bob ripped local businesses for not spending money when he himself rarely involved himself in the community. You have to put a product out there for local businesses to support. You have to spend money to make money and Johnson didn't do that. He expected everything to come his way.

He did own the NO Hornets so that's not a surprise.

But you clearly didn't read it, talks about his time in Charlotte as well.

Is Bob Johnson still working on that television network for the team that he promised??

[Porn Shop Clerk]

No, it left with Ed Tapscott.

We get the Hornets name back, and then there's something else the city of Charlotte doesn't like so they stop going to the games. I can see that coming a mile away. Hell, they already wanna turn on Michael now. A good portion of these people in here arguing on behalf of the Hornets don't like the NBA or NBA players anyway. When the Hornets still suck in 2-3 years, it'll be easy for them to jump off this fad.

A person earlier described it to a tee..."a bunch of spoiled brats". If we don't like an owner, we stop going to the games even though theres other bad owners out there, and their fans still show up. We had a chance to keep the Hornets, and the opportunity was blown...time to move on. In fact, Charlotte is probably better off without a NBA team. Charlotte fans, outside of KT and a pocket of loyal fans, pretty much suck. Been a bandwagon city for years

next thing you know one of them will say slavery happened over 400 years ago and you guys need to get over it

[Porn Shop Clerk]

the only reason the hornets even managed to stay competitive in charlotte is because of bob bass, dave cowens and paul silas

the same people begging for silas to coach for the past 6 years are now the ones ready to turn their backs on him and shove him out the door

but no, everyone talks about alan bristow and kelly tripuka and hugo

lol i remember when they had to paint over the bad ass mural downtown because shinn shipped out Zo

that was more embarrassing to me as a fan than anything associated with the bobcats, and it doesn't even begin to compare with the rape trial and holding the city hostage or over-inflating player salaries with an absurd contract for a player with chronic back issues

but tom and huckleberry finn are cool guys because they let jim look at their sisters without stringing him up

Why the hell are you guys arguing Shinn vs. Johnson? They were both $h!tty owners who failed by making bad decisions. Johnson is not a part of the Bobcats anymore and Shinn is not a part of the Hornets anymore so they are irrelevant. Once again it's a business and Jordan wants to make money so if rebranding will make him money he should do it. If it will put butts in the seats he should do it. Logos colors, arenas all that stuff gets changed to make it fresh to make more money. If 90% of fans want the change and 10% don't who are you going to listen too? If you want to make money you listen to the majority of your customers.
