BOBCATS RUMORS & GOSSIP

Michael Jordan is attracting sponsors and big money to the Charlotte Bobcats. The newly minted owner of the NBA franchise is using a strategy that appeals to companies that already pay M.J. to endorse their products. Sports Business Journal reported this week that video game maker, 2K Sports has announced its first NBA sponsorship deal and it's with the Bobcats.

The Charlotte Bobcats taste of success gained by reaching the playoffs last season, may be short lived if the team doesnt address its weaknesses before the season starts

Athletes have always flirted with other forms of entertainment, especially music and it usually results in terrible attacks on our ears. The NBA has the highest percentage of wannabe artists, so I wasn’t surprised when I heard former Los Angeles Laker Kareem Rush was trying music out. What did surprise me though, was the genre he chose; R & B.I fully expected him to...

Today Gerald Wallace along with Tyreke Evans, Javale McGee and OJ Mayo were cut from Team USA. It would have been nice to see him make the team and wear the U.S.A. colors proudly, BUT as a Bobcats fan I'm not too sad about it. Because of his playing style he would have been the player most likely to ricochet off the elbow of some 320 pound Ukranian center. He also would have...

Tyreke Evans, Gerald Wallace, O.J. Mayo and JaVale McGee were cut from Team USA's roster on Wednesday...

Team USA head coach Mike Kryzyewski made his first set of cuts today and there aren't any huge surprises.  The camp moves on to New York where three more will get the axe.

July is a notoriously hectic month for college basketball head coaches as they travel thousands of miles and log countless hours evaluating prospects from coast to coast. And if you're Oklahoma head coach Jeff Capel in 2010, that comes on the heels of a 16-day stint as head coach of the gold-medal-winning USA team at the FIBA U18 Championship.

Sources close to the situation told FanHouse on Tuesday they're expected to be among the cuts when Team USA on Wednesday reveals the 15 out of 19 remaining players who will be invited to New York for the Aug. 10-16 training camp in preparation for next month's World...

by Ryne Nelson Of all the people in Charlotte…. WSOC is reporting that Stephen Jackson’s home was broken into and robbed early on Wednesday, as masked men held his wife at gunpoint and then locked her in a bathroom. According to the report, thieves took Louis Vuitton wallets, jewelry, a stun gun and a nine-millimeter handgun while Jax was in Texas for a basketball camp...

Rumors have been swirling about the home invasion and robbery of Stephen Jackson's Charlotte home.  One is that the police aren't sure that Jackson's wife (who has a lengthy record) is telling the true story.

Filed under: Bobcats , NBA Media Watch It's a story that, sadly, we've become far too familiar with. Athlete's home is invaded, often with people inside, and he or his family are held at gunpoint while their luxury goods are cleaned out. Even if the crime doesn't end with a tragedy like Sean Taylor, it's impossible to understate the level of trauma involve here...

The wife of Bobcats' Stephen Jackson was the victim of a home invasion robbery by three men but was luckily left unharmed. Jackson was not home at the time.

So what to do with Boris Diaw? I know what follows in the comments: "Trade him for anything!'' "Boot him outta town!' "Sit him now!'' Trouble is, that's not living in the real world and it's sure not making the...

According to Hoopshype Larry Hughes is deciding between the Heat, Lakers, Bobcats, and Celtics. The 31 year old Hughes is no one to write home about, but he wouldn't be a bad addition. I'd much prefer him as our 4th wing to 3rd, but Hughes gives you a slashing game and decent defense. He used to have a poor jumper, but if you check the stats he's made himself into a solid...
