IN WITH THE NEW How Gabe Plotkin and Rick Schnall are remaking the Charlotte Hornets business model
Very unique preseason story and very well written. Only thing that could have made it better in my opinion would be to get the take of one of the team sponsors and hear why they decided to invest into the team. Overall a very well done story.
