Michael Jordan's Charlotte Bobcats are terrible. Despite those who think thy are tanking to try and get a high draft choice, I'm sorry to disappoint you. This basketball team is literally as bad as they say and more. When the team's goal is to "not be the worst team ever" you know you have a significant problem. At 7-56 with just 3 games to go, Charlotte is on the verge of not only a 23 game losing streak, but becoming the worst team in NBA history.
Last season the Bobcats were in the midst of a playoff race, but due to financial constraints, the team traded away some of their best players, including Gerald Wallace, the team's star. This season saw the team bring in a Major League-esque lineup, and even though there's no miracles or a new location on the horizon for this bunch, many wondered who they were. Most sports writers called them a disgrace before the season even started. People knew this team was going to be that bad. They're losing games by more than 13 points a game, an NBA record too.
Watching the team this season is both frustrating and comedic for fans. At some point last year they just stopped caring, and this year, they're only watching them out of spite or to see how badly they can lose. Earlier this season the Bobcats had a 16 game losing streak, and now, they've surpassed it with a 20-game streak. On Sunday, April 15th against the Celtics, they gave away tickets to the next night's game against the Hornets. To whom you ask? To everyone, much to the arena's dismay. They don't want to watch such a disgrace of a team, let alone be "gifted" tickets to see them play against a team that was forced to trade away their only star before the season started.
The Bobcats under the current administration have greatly failed. With only one playoff berth in their franchise's history with no wins, there is very little solace for the franchise. Their players are terrible, their coach is old, the management doesn't know what it's doing, and the fans don't want to support a product that isn't worthy for College Basketball, let alone the NBA. As a player, Michael Jordan was the greatest. As an owner, Jordan is incompetent at best. He needs to surround himself with smarter people that can help him make more money. The only way to do that is get better talent. Unfortunately, Jordan's history shows he is incapable of recognizing that such talent exists.
