I hate being a Bobcats fan right now. We’re getting trashed on the court and in the media. I’m not quite sure why everyone likes to pile it on such a young franchise. Maybe people really hate MJ or really hate Bob Johnson. I love the Kitties, but I’m truly deflated at the moment.
Charlotte Bobcats Sale Embarrassing For NBA
//
If NBA owners approve, Michael Jordan is going to buy controlling interest in the Charlotte Bobcats for a price that values the franchise at about $175 million. This is a big blow to the NBA because current owner Robert L. Johnson paid an expansion fee of $300 million seven years ago and the league has several teams hunting for investors. Other than right here, I doubt you will see a price for a long, long time in the media. Usually, when a team is sold related stories include estimated prices, frequently leaked by the NBA or someone involved with the transaction. I searched Google but could not find one story that mentioned the price. The NBA is embarrassed about the $175 million valuation. And rightfully so.
