The revenge of Pete Maravich: it looks like my home state may be getting an NBA team again. Louisiana’s had a bit of a self-esteem problem since 1979, when the New Orleans Jazz up and moved to…Utah? The Utah Jazz, the most ludicrous moniker in all of sports?
Unfortunately, if the Hornets do move to Nawlins, we’d get stuck with George Shinn, who shows up in anybody’s top five of worst team owners (worst both in sports terms and as a human being). But at least we’d also get my favorite basketball player of all time, (the currently injured) George Lynch.
