http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/sports/AP-BKN-Bobcats-Nelly.html for those of you who aren't registered, let me drop few lines from the original article:
It'a amazing how the Bobcats took their offer off of the table from Michael Jordan but the turn around and allow Nelly to become part owner. Is Michael Jordan's reputation as a owner getting that bad?
It doesn't matter who owns it...I find it hard to believe MJ couldn't do this, but I think the difference is he wants to be a majority owner... Good for Nelly...you think he was getting laid b/f...just watch out... Nelly: Hey baby, you know I own an NBA team, right... Ditzy Girl: I didn't, but now I do...you want to go back to my place...
