All they have to do is go full Grinch and lean into being assholes to their fans.
Sure it’s a risky proposition for an NBA team.
But those Dick’s Last Resort restaurants where the waiters roasted you were smash hits back in the day.

The Hornets clearly are not good at making their fans happy and probably never will be.
Which is why it was so disappointing to see the Hornets apologized for the stunt online.
God I hate that statement and not just because it is loaded with bad basketball puns.
Saying that those moments are skits hurts more than seeing Red Panda drop a bowl.
What exactly is a VIP experience at a Hornets game?
I’m sure it involves having access to a suite and all it’s possible for you to eat/drink.
But the fact remains you are still, yanno, at a Hornets game.
But considering that face is LaMelo Ball, I’m not sure that would be a great idea.
I’m not talking about taking the opening tip or anything.
Trust me, nobody will notice what happened at the end of another Hornets blowout.
