have you guys seen that new Bobcats commercial with Dunlap peptalking the team+ training camp highlights? I thought it was pretty neat, I believe it was on the history channel of all places while I was watching Pawn Stars. cant remember exactly what Dunlap said, something about there being a formula to winning which is attacking the basket, blah blah people will fear the Charlotte Bobcats.
