Check out Bobcats.com for a transcript from today's interesting practice

[Michael Thompson]

It's not often that an owner gets out on the practice court to scrimmage. After running with the guys, Mr. Jordan spoke to the media about the current state and direction of the team, and Matt Rochinski from Bobcats.com got the whole transcript posted at

Michael Thompson...How does that name sound familiar...

Anyway, this could do nothing but help us. Hopefully with him being around the team, he can find some of our problems.

Jordan didn't hold back a bit.

I like it!

great read man

He should do this more often. It's obvious the guy is gonna get his point across way better than Vincent who as of right now doesn't really have any authority over the players other than the fact he is their coach. When a guy like Jordan walks in, as a current player in the NBA you shut up and listen and take any basketball knowledge he spills at you to heart. It'll be interesting to see the results in the Utah game.

Highlights I found interesting:

The Orlando game was a great example, they came out and played great as one unit. In the second half it became a bunch of individuals, which in essence shows that when you play together as a unit you can beat some good solid teams. But as soon as you become individuals, you can’t do anything right.

I hope they hear this...

we have no All-Stars

give 'em hell Mike...

We had a great dialogue between myself and every player on this team.

this is what I hoped would come out of this once I heard about the practice...

Sam (Vincent) is totally saying the same thing but coming from me is resonates a little more and a little bit fast.

this just makes sense. Hopefully hearing it from both ends will have them respecting SV more.

Nice read.

I hope that some of the players take MJ's words to heart and focus on playing as team.
