He rivals Michael Jordan’s run as owner of the Hornets in terms of ownership futility in professional sports in Charlotte. That’s remarkable considering how consistently irrelevant the Hornets were nearly every season under MJ.
Jordan inherited one of the worst run franchises in the history of sports. Jordan fixed the communities relationship with the team and opened stuff like free health clinics and basketball courts. He was a bad owner for his on court product.
I have family and friends in charlotte who are lawyers and work in commercial real estate. All of them have had to deal with the team at some level since he bought it. I have not talked to a single person who thinks he isnt an unbelievable asshole.
Jordan was awful but at least he brought back the Hornets and I feel like its significantly harder to be good in the NBA. Tepper inherited a team that was good and typically always in the mix. He then proceeded to scorch the entire thing to the ground so bad that we’re one of the worst teams in the league with no hope of getting better.
