I thought they were riding Jennings? Guess that love affair is over?

I see they have Cam Newton as well? Might be a good opportunity for some cross promotion?

MJ really dropped the ball on Cam and Kemba as far as signing them both to Jordan Brand

Certainly would benefit both the Panthers, Bobcats and even Charlotte either way. Also pretty nice to hear "star" next to Kemba's name....even if he hasn't played a game yet.

I think we all know, but are just to afraid of jinxing the kid to say it. Kemba is the real deal. He may be a top 5 pointguard one day.

I'm glad he's going with a smaller brand but agreed, I considered it a lock he would sign with Jordan.
