Congratulations, Bobcat Fans. You can now sleep soundly with knowledge of the fact that the guy who drafted Kwame first overall, Adam Morrison third overall and DJ Augustin ninth overall is ready to step up and purchase the whole franchise if BET owner Robert Johnson ever decides to sell the team.
“When Bob wants to step aside, I have no problem stepping in and saying, ‘Hey, look, I’d love to take control of this franchise,’ ” Jordan said in a story on the newspaper’s web site. “But Bob, he’s not at that point now.”
The fifth-year franchise has never made the playoffs and Johnson has acknowledged losing millions on the team, which has struggled to draw fans. Jordan bought a minority stake in the Bobcats in 2006 and Johnson gave him total control over the team’s basketball operations.
Champ-ion-ship.
