Charlotte Bobcats rise all thanks to Larry Brown

Larry Brown, more than anyone, is the man to be thanked for picking up the pieces of this franchise, making smart decisions and trades (even unpopular ones) and coaching these players into playing like a team. Larry Brown is here because of Michael Jordan. Michael Jordan is here because of his North Carolina roots.

Why was Bob Johnson here?

To make money. Plain and simple. I have no problem with a man trying to make money.

But let's give credit where credit is due. Bob Johnson could very easily go down as one of the most inept NBA owners in NBA history. Michael Jordan and Larry Brown are the 2 men who deserve the credit for the Bobcats' recent success. While Bobcat Johnson was trying to sell out and get the F out of Dodge as fast as possible, MJ and LB quietly went about their business of putting together a contender.

KT?

I don't know about predictable. It states the truth. Larry Brown, who is here because Michael Jordan is here (Larry's words not mine), is the man who has made the trades and acquisitions and furthermore he is the head coach. He deserves the credit 100% for this cherry-poppin playoff trip.

But, But, But, Micheal is only here because of Saint Bob Johnson. The great hero of Charlotte who brought basketball back only because he felt so bad about the Hornets leaving. So Bob Johnson is the one to thank for Larry Brown!

Bob Johnson's not a bad guy, he just didn't understand this market.

Agreed. I don't think Bob is a bad guy by any means whatsoever. I think he expected his investment in the Bobcats to be an instant success without having to put in a lot of work or really know and understand how to be successful in the NBA marketplace.

    • 4610 total yards 27 total touchdowns 8 yards per attempt. Completion percentage was usual Cam ie mediocre or below at best at 57.7 and 86.2 passer rating. But the man scored points and moved the ball at will often. Compared to 2652 total yards 21 total touchdowns 6.3 yards per attempt completion % 60.9 82.2 passer rating. Let's just not do things like this. We can acknowledge Bryce improved (from realistically a bottom 5 QB) and hope he can work his way within the top 15 this season without dragging Cam Newton into it and unintentionally diminishing him. That's all I got to say. Carry on.
    • I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!
    • Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.
