There is a main NBA forum here in Hungary, there are lots of posters in the Bobcats topic, but only 3-4 of them are real Bobcats fans.

In the first years of the franchise history (as the moderator of the topic) I used to comment a lot and write some analysis on the Bobcats and founded a great Hungarian Bobcats fan base. I was a hardcore Primoz "Pillow" Brezec and Walter "Fabio" Herrmann fan. And there was some buzz by others around Matt Carroll. Of course Crash had the biggest fanbase.

After the birth of my daughter I focused my spare time to other activities and the big loosing streaks weared down the Hungarian Bobcats community (I order International Leage Pass almost every year, but watched it only few times in the past two month), so the Bobcats forum in Hungary now almost dead, there are only 3-4 main posters there (one of them are bence, whom with we purchased some Bobcats jerseys and other Bobcats stuff together).

OFF: I like to seize this opportunity to ask the native NC fans if someone would help us in purchasing some Bobcats, Hornets and UNC jerseys and merchandise. Shipping is very limited to Hungary so some help is really needed. If someone is interested we could talk the details in private. Thanks in advance.

Looking at my favorite movie list again, I realized that I went a bit too serious with truly great movies but forgot one of my all time favorites "White Men Can't Jump". I don't care how many plot holes it has, I can watch it any time of the day. Moreover, it's still as funny the 10th as it was the first time.

I didn't know that daidalos is a poster here :) As he said we know each other from the hungarian forum, and actually I got my first NBA jersey (G-Wall) from him as a present circa 3 years ago :)

The 3rd one? I'll definitly ask him if he is a realgm poster too, it would be fun. :D

The help in purchising NC memorabilias would be huge, I must admit. Ebay is okay, but the hungarian tax system is tough, any purchase above (around) 22 dollars must be inspected (2-3 days), and a hefty tax also must be paid... And the tax supervisors like to inspect items bought from ebay.

I may have to edit my "Bio" soon guys to read Intramural Champion for Level of Basketball. My team is coming into the game as the underdog, but we have won 7 games in a row and I can almost taste it haha. Doesn't sound like much, but the competition is pretty good at Unc- Charlotte and as a Senior I have never been past the final 4 before.

I am feeling a last night Gerald Henderson-Esq performance coming from myself...
