Ben Folds is awesome, obviously. It turns out he also wants to support his local NBA team.

If this ends up happening, it would be the first good thing to ever happen to the Bobcats. Even better than that one win that one time!

Ben Swanson at Rufus On Fire provides his own take on the situation, so be sure to check that out.

UPDATE: It gets better!
