The Bobcats are Charlotte’s professional basketball team and they have made quite an impact on the NBA since their establishment as a expansion team. They belong in the Southeast Division of the Eastern Conference and were first established in 2004, which makes them one of the NBA’s youngest teams. They were established two seasons after Charlotte’s previous team, the Hornets, were relocated to New Orleans. Tourists and basketball fans can be found at Charlotte luxury hotels and at the Time Warner Cable Arena where they play their home games. The arena is located in Charlotte’s uptown area.
A few of the major players on the Bobcat’s current team roster include Gerald Wallace, who has also served as the team captain, Boris Diaw, Tyson Chandler and Raymond Felton. However, the most famous person associated with the Bobcats is former player Michael Jordan. Jordan is a minority owner and also the head of basketball operations and has been reported as having shown interest in collecting a group to purchase the majority control of the team, which is currently for sale.
Jordan is considered to be one of the all time greatest players of professional basketball.

His professional playing career lasted from 1984 to 2003. He played with the Washington Wizards from 2001 to 2003. Jordan scored over 32,000 points during his amazing career.
