Just saw the promo. MJ with a 1 on 1 about the current state of the NBA and bringing back the Buzz to Charlotte. Might be worth watching.

Thanks. I've been looking forward to this since I saw the first promo for it over the weekend, but forgot which network I saw it on.

Really disappointing, but that's what I get for expecting something out of ESPN and Darren Rovell of all people.

 

Instead of talking about the franchise, which is what this was billed as, it was all about MJ and the same old "he's a competitor who struggles having to be away from the game," schtick that has been used since he has retired.

 

Zero acknowledgement that he possibly turned a corner by letting go of those "bad owner" habits by releasing Rod Higgins and letting Cho build this team or that he has completely revitalized the NBA in this market where it was dead for so long by bringing back the Hornets and making them a contender.

 

Five minutes I won't get back.

Yeah it's kind of a weird situation where the owner is  bigger celebrity than the team he owns. 

 

Michael is a funny fellow, he's always been known as a self centered guy but he had no trouble going along with the premise that he was the story and not his team. But how many 51 year old legendary players own a pro sports franchise? Most owners are businessmen who have been versed in political correctness and answering questions in a stately manner. MJ is a baller. 

 

Still, I like that he comes right out and says it "I want to win". So many owners you kind of roll your eyes when they say that. MJ does want to win. I'll even go along with it being more important to him than his 6th. Because everybody bowed down to him at the end of his career. Now, as an owner he's been mocked for the past 4 years. MJ loves proving his haters wrong.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
