Why would he feel like a douche bag, and why would you want him to feel like one?  Bob brought basketball back to Carolinas, and I'm grateful that he did.  Also, people keep saying he named the team after himself.  Where are ya'll reading that at, or where are ya'll getting that information at?  I've been searching the web, and can't find nothing confirming that he did that.  I've just seen a bunch of people assuming that he did.

It didn't have to be BJ, there were other people that were going to do it if Bob didn't (Larry Bird)... Bob just had the most money.

 

It was never about basketball with Bob, it was always about money.

So, I can apply this same logic to Jerry Richardson and the Panthers.  If Richardson didn't bring the Panthers to the Carolinas, someone else was going to do it.  We got that settled, so cool.  Whenever someone brings this up about the Panthers, I can just say that.  

 

Anyways, you say that it was always about the money with Bob.  Do you know him personally to make that claim?

Not quite. There were other viable ownership groups lined up to bring a basketball team to Charlotte.

 

At the time the Panthers were awarded to Charlotte, Jerry's group was the only one pursuing a team as far as I'm aware.

I'll keep the argument going just because I have nothing to do...

 

Let's make one thing clear...

 

Richardson was the only known individual to announce that he was going to be placing a bid to have a football team in Charlotte...

 

As far as the Bobcats go, there were at least four and possibly more individuals that were placing bids to bring a basketball team back to Charlotte (Bird was one of them)... please do your research before spouting off at the ass and getting all mad at me.

 

And it was obviously about the money for Bob Johnson as he never had anything to do with the team... he was rarely at games and he never interacted with the fans...

 

It's time to grow up and realize that Bob Johnson put us in the mess and MJ (even though he is doing a shitty job) is trying to get us out of it.

I don't mind owners being motivated by money. Basically because more wins = more money.

Bob was just a terrible owner.

 

My thing is when money becomes your primary goal... and not champiosnships.

 

Richardson and Jordan at least show up to the games, I never saw BJ at a game...

 

On top of that you know your owner is genuine when he still gets out there and practices with the team...

^ This. 

 

As for the team name, the nickname Bobcats if I recall correctly got trounced in the vote that was supposed to name the team but was still picked.  

 

As for Bob having anything to do with bringing a team to Charlotte... incorrect.

 

The NBA when the Hornets left, made a stipulation in the move that Charlotte would get a new team.

      What we had then, what we have now...

      https://x.com/4thand1show/status/1975274357174784272?s=46   saw this this morning and came to post something similar. I didn’t just love the team or the wins, I loved those dudes man. They put everything they had out there every Sunday. You didn’t see a rep where anybody on that field was low effort in that era, and if you did they were quickly sent packing.

      Our 2nd Most Productive WR

      …is Brycen Tremayne with 108 yards. Not sure what that tells us but I imagine it’s some sort of gumbo consisting of the following: - Bryce can’t push the ball downfield  - contrary to what many were saying this offseason, the wr still needs a lot of work.  - we need Coker back badly.  - Brycen is pretty good! Congrats to that young man! Curious to hear other’s read on it. Was a pretty surprised to see he had more yards than anyone other than Tet and thought that was symptomatic of our issues on offense.

      I don’t think many fans would have guessed the Chiefs and Ravens would be where they are right now. Same goes for some surprise packages like the Colts, I’m not sure many would have put money on them being top of their division after five weeks. It’ll be interesting to see if this continues!   Not necessarily. The Chargers have lost both starting OL and their 1st and 2nd choice RBs. They fell apart against Washington. The Broncos have just beat the Eagles, so they’d be my favourite in that division, but they are still only one win ahead of the Chiefs. All the Chiefs need is a couple of results to go their way and they’ll be right in the fight for the AFC East. I think that division is going to be very close and probably not a 12 or 13 win division like predicted. Unless of course the Broncos kick on.
