Michael Jordan made his best post-basketball decision by bringing back the Charlotte Hornets

Michael Jordan is making his best decision yet as owner of the Charlotte Bobcats, but unfortunately for the franchise, it has nothing to do with players or personnel.

The team is probably still going to stink, but at least they will have a cool, nostalgic nickname. 

Yes, Michael Jordan has started the process of rightfully renaming his team the Hornets, which has been pretty much every NBA fan’s wish since the New Orleans announced it would be renaming its team the Pelicans. 
"They're bringing us back?!"


David Stern’s heir, Adam Silver previously said it could take "about 18 months" for the Bobcats to change their name, meaning Charlotte could once again become the Hornets by the 2014-15 season.

For an entire generation, the Hornets were a classic NBA franchise, boasting a bunch of exciting NBA players, and having one of the coolest color schemes in sports history. 

Again, until some serious changes are made to the team itself, the Bobcats/Hornets are going to continue to stink, but at least they will stink in classically cool uniforms, and maybe the change will probably inspire some pride out of a faltering fan base. 

Now they just need to bring back the Hornets Starter jacket
