When Chicago Bulls legend and serial winner Michael Jordan became the majority owner of Charlotte Hornets, he probably held higher aspirations for the franchise. In contrast to their billionaire owner’s outstanding legacy, the Hornets have yet to prove themselves in the league. With zero championship titles under their belt, the previously labeled Bobcats, have mostly remained in the bottom five for their on-court performances. However, time and again, the side has managed to tempt the attention of the NBA community, often for the wrong reasons.

Much to fans’ dismay, the Charlotte Hornets have lost more than half of the games they have played this season. Currently positioned at No. 14 in the Eastern Conference rankings, the Hornets have yet again lost any chance of making it to the playoffs.

Michael Jordan’s Hornets star fires back at a fan

Sports betting has been around for quite some time now. Due to its increasing popularity, betting has turned into a multi-million dollar industry. In fact, there are several legal websites that offer you the opportunity to make things a little more interesting and thrilling. However, it is no secret that such bets carry a lot of risks as you never know if you are going to end up with a ton of winnings or nothing at all, and when the latter happens, a few fans tend to blame the players for their loss. For instance, a particular NBA fan recently called out Charlotte Hornets star Terry Rozier for costing him a lot of money.

Apparently, the fan had placed multiple bets, including one on Rozier. Following his loss, the angry fan even slipped into Roziers’s DMs and threatened him with violence during their game vs the Philadelphia 76ers that is set to take place on March 17.

According to the screenshot of the chat uploaded by @Thirst22, the fan accused Rozier for his loss. Additionally, he wrote, “I’ll beat yo *ss. I stg I’ll f**k yo small *ss up. And I live in charlotte too imma be at the 76ers game Im knocking yo *ss out soon u come thru dat tunnel.”
