by Tim PovtakFiled under: Bobcats, NBA Fans, Playoffs, NBA RumorsMichael Jordan still hasn't created the buzz that the Charlotte Bobcats need to be relevant again. Allen Iverson could. And Larry Brown knows it.The Bobcats could spend the next three years treading water in Charlotte, mired in mediocrity or worse, while support for the franchise continues to erode and Jordan shirks more front office duties. Or they can take the bold step, light the fuse and sign Iverson as a free agent next week, enjoying the fireworks that surely will follow when he and Brown renew their love/hate relationship.Bobcats Need to Sign Iverson originally appeared on Fanhouse NBA Blog on Wed, 01 Jul 2009 11:21:00 EDT .
