Michael Jordan Press Conference Today Regarding Name Change

Recommended Posts

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- A person familiar with the situation says Charlotte Bobcats owner Michael Jordan is changing his team's name to the Hornets.

The person says Jordan will detail the timetable for the change to be completed at a press conference the Bobcats have scheduled for Tuesday. The person spoke to The Associated Press Monday on condition of anonymity because the name change has not been publicly announced.

NBA deputy commissioner and COO Adam Silver previously has said it would take "about 18 months" for the Bobcats to change their name. That means Charlotte could once again become the Hornets by the 2014-15 season.

The Hornets resided in Charlotte from 1988-2002 before then-owner George Shinn moved the franchise to New Orleans. The New Orleans Hornets recently changed their name to the Pelicans.

 

 

 

If I am MJ, I announce how much it will cost to change the team name.  And that in order to complete the change, the bobcats needed to sell 80% of their tickets this season.  Lets see how badly people want the name changed.  Its put up or shut up time for charlotte.

I'd encourage anyone who's even REMOTELY interested in this topic to make it out to "The Hive" tonight at 6.  They're going to be streaming the press conference live via the arena JumboTron...we're trying to pack the joint with teal and purple.

 

Ahem...

 

BEE THERE!!!

Tickets start at $8 for entrance into the arena from 6pm-8pm for the draft party and announcement. It might be wise to RSVP as well. 

 

 

here's the link for the RSVP.

I'm still thinking about going. Did any of you guys get a call from the Bobcats asking if yall were going to attend? They called me twice in the last two 3 weeks.

It's actually free tonight, CarPanFan.  The $8 you saw is in reference to the price per game of certain season tickets.

 

Not trying to nit pick, just didn't want to scare anybody off ;)

    • His play style isn’t what’s needed and he’s slow to get off the time. Watching some of these all 22 clips and there’s once again a massive lack of speed on the field. 3rd year in a row I’ve said from day 1 Bryce needs route runners. He’s had one pure route runner and he turned Thielen into a 1000 yard receiver. At age 35. The Panthers drafted Young to be a “point guard” and proceeded to give him the exact opposite of what he’s needed. It would sure be nice to have a deep threat as well. Something Bryce had at Bama  
    • I'm the same and I just gave up on it years ago.  I expect the new sale to make it a worse fall into making bigger revenue streams and that's not going to be offline franchise. 
    • Renfrow for being a role player has been 100% fine.  Heck he should have at least 4 TDs.  Bryce Young just can’t throw the ball.  When he does look Renfrows way and he is open it’s almost always just a bad throw.  Renfrow also has been out there setting great picks like the big play to TMac, getting Bryce Young horrible turnovers wiped on away from the play routes etc.  You could literally already make a highlight real of bad throws to him by Bryce and none of that is pimping Renfrow.   It just highlights Bryce fails at basics over and over every week without fail
