I don't know what Michael Jordan has to do with it. I know he played for Chicago when I was growing up. I know the Chicago Bulls. Are the Bobcats NBA too? I'm honestly at a loss here.

edit: Further, if I knew, I guess I'm supposed to know why you're upset? How would I?

I assume it's not something like silver, traded on the commodities market, and an asteroid made from Bobcats' gear crashed into the ocean, flooding the market. Whatever it is, I assume the value/worth of the gear was related to some emotional attachment you have to it, and for some reason that emotional attachment is now severed.

What will become of the Hornets that are already in New Orleans? Why did they even bother moving them to New Orleans if they were just going to get another NBA team called the "Hornets"?

I agree that is about the stupidest name I have ever heard! I didn't know tho that the Bobcats were going back to the Hornets name what is with this dumb name changing?
