Agree on this. He couldn't win with Lebron he just put trash all around him for years. Made no sense. I still feel the NBA fixed the lottery and him going back to Cleveland to get him with Wiggins(but they traded it for Love). Cleveland is a strong market place still and it made sense to get them over the hump for the NBA

Tom Benson required the commissioner of the NFL to tell him not to move the Saints after Katrina... and tried to pass off his teams to his unfit granddaughter

I think he gives Dolan a run for his money. Charlotte low balled Kemba and they have some of the worst contracts in the league.

I realize Georgia Frontiere won a super bowl but during an interview she quite clearly did not know what conference the team she owned even played in

Calvin Griffith.

Just how bad was he? He wouldn't hire a general manager, and would routinely sell players. He moved a franchise. He was so bad, that when they sold the team to the Pohlads (who would later try to contract their own franchise), it was considered an improvement.

Frank McCourt. Former Dodgers owner. Purchased the team on credit and then looted it. A true piece of crap.
