Michael Jordan is Bobcats' last-best hope

Posted Mar 14, 2010
This Bobcats ownership transfer is nearly complete, and David Stern has shepherded it along. He's relieved Michael Jordan stepped up to buy the team because - my words, not Stern's - Jordan is the last-best hope to make Charlotte thrive again as an NBA market. Stern understands the disconnect between Charlotte and the NBA (yes, this town really did once lead the league in attendance) wasn't particularly the town's fault. (Charlotte Observer)
