Dear Charlotte Bobcats Fans:

Throughout my basketball career, I don't think there has ever been a time when I have been more excited to get a season started. This was a challenging offseason for our franchise and the NBA. There is simply no denying it. A work stoppage during the process of improving the NBA's business model was not something that anyone involved in the game enjoyed. However, the goal was to end up with a system that gives all teams in our league an opportunity to be competitive. I think everyone realizes that this is particularly important for a small market like ours.

As I stated when I purchased the Bobcats a little over a year ago, owning this franchise is my number one priority. I continue to be committed to developing a team that can legitimately compete in the Eastern Conference. My hope is that under this new system we will be able to more quickly reach the goal of providing our fans and the Carolinas with a team they can be proud of.

We have spent a great deal of time and effort over the last year trying to improve every aspect of our organization. We have been able to assemble a young and talented nucleus of players. We maneuvered to add two top ten picks to our team from this past year's draft. We also have a coaching staff in place that did an incredible job of developing our players last season. Most importantly we have achieved this while creating the type of flexibility needed to continue the process of improving our team.

There is a lot to look forward to as we get ready to take the court and we would like nothing more than for you to be a part of it. As a thank you for your support, we have a number of fan appreciation events that will be taking place. It all starts on December 17th when you can get your first look at our team during a free scrimmage at Time Warner Cable Arena. Then at our preseason game on December 19th against the Atlanta Hawks, all kids 14 and under can attend for free. Opening night is always a special game and on December 26th we would like to offer 50% off concessions for everyone in attendance. As another thank you, for our first 3 games in January, every ticket in the upper level will be only $5.

You are an important part of everything we do and I wanted to thank you again for all of your support. I hope you will come out and see your Charlotte Bobcats at Time Warner Cable Arena this season. While you are here, I think you'll see something special developing.

Sincerely,

Michael Jordan

Free scrimmage December 17th, kids get in free to the December 19th preseason game against the Hawks. On opening night (December 26th) concessions will be 50% off and for the first three games in January the upper level seats will cost 5$.

When I was 10, I mailed him a letter with one of his basketball cards in it. My letter professed that I was his biggest fan, that I had bought his jerseys, posters, and pretty much any memorablia that I could get my hands on that had Jordan on it.

I asked in my letter, if he could sign my card, and mail it back to me.

...about 2 months later, I received a response in the mail from his "organization". The letter basically said that Jordan was "too busy" to respond to every fans letter and that he could not sign my card because there was no card in the envelop that I sent him!!! This was total bullshit, whoever reads his mail stole my card. If I ever meet MJ...he will hear about this!!!

Yeah, if I lived in Charlotte I would go to a lot of games. It's hard to drive for over an hour to a basketball game on a weekday after work.

Not sure how the charlatans pass up on the experience. They constantly have deals for cheap tickets.

      Mike Kaye: “I would keep a pretty close eye on {KC Concepcion}.”

      By Basbear · Posted

      Brah, get in we are going down Cookers injury history- 2024- hamstring injury that had a effect on his combine and pro-day= UDFA gem. panthers bought him and he rehabbed during mini. During TC he missed time with quad(future incoming here). Panthers CUT him, how?? why did they?? You have to agree one of the reasons was injury. Hes on PS for couple weeks and now on the 53. Around week 10 he goes on IR with quad.... makes it back and gives hope he's ready for 2025. 2025- He shows up in Benij shape, gets another quad injury. Adam take allllll the WRs and BY to one of Minnesotas' 10,000 lakes. No Coker, team upset and lays out a workout plan.( He follows it. )Steve Smith releases a 10 min rap beef video calling out how lazy and unprofessional Cooker is. Time passes- Panthers trade Adam with the hope Coker can take some of the reps, he gets another quad injury and hurts the Panthers plan. 6 IR weeks later he comes back, he's fresh legged and others are six weeks in. Playoffs he has a all-timer game.  So if you want to get detailed about it, there they are. He missed 3 games in 2024 (bye adds another week)due to injury and 3 games being Cut for reasons that may or did include his leg being hurt. 2025 he shows up in Benj-shape and has another mini, OTAs, and TC of rehabbing mixed with live reps. Then two days after the Adam trade, he re-injuries his troubled quad and sits on IR for 6 games.  We can or you can discuss the reasons for him being cut and determine if his injury issues were part of it or not. The main point in all this to to show their are some issues if the team is counting on Coker, as shown above and they are not just quad ones.  Hammer-time..... so for the 42nd time Im telling all who want to talk panthers and what could be in the future plans, watch out for the Matt Millen special........ cause WR is on the menu and it should be given the Panthers are one repeating quad issue from starting David fing Moore or who knows I still have a little hope XL shows up and can be a legit #2....
