mattmatik Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 I just heard on ESPNews that the Heat-Bobcats game was free to students who were doing good in school. The game...started in the morning local time - when kids should be in school. At least they were given workbooks to do during timeouts. :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/236211-nba-early-bobcats-game-for-students/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattmatik Posted October 27, 2004 Author Share Posted October 27, 2004 I don't get it, Charlotte Hornets leave town, only to be replaced less than 5 years later with a new expansion Charlotte team ... 584812051[/snapback] I think it had something to do with the Hornets owner (George Shinn) and the city of Charlotte. He wanted a new arena and some other things and they refused. So he up and moved to New Orleans. One thing is for sure, when the Hornets were an expansion team, they had alot more going for it. They had the draft picks (Alonzo Mourning and Larry Johnson) and the NBA was alot different then. The Bobcats are horrible and will be so for a long time.
