Will his tenure as an assistant coach with the Orlando Magic give him what it takes to turn the Bobcats round? Will Knicks fans’ heads explode when they learn of one of their greatest stars linking up with the man who tortured their team for so many years? Stay tuned with Jordans Daily for the answers.

We mentioned that the Charlotte Bobcats are in a bit of a rebuilding period at the moment, with the franchise in obvious need of some sort of re-arranging what with having posted the worst all time winning percentage in the NBA for the 2011-2012 season. One of the first actions that’s been made is the firing of head coach Paul Silas, opening up the possibility of bringing in another high-profile coach of the likes of Nate McMillan, Mike D’Antoni, or evening Patrick Ewing (a close friend of Mike) possibly filling the slot. Let us know in the comments below if you think MJ’s move of getting rid of Silas was a step in the right direction towards making the Charlotte Bobcats a winning team, and stay tuned to Jordans Daily as we’ll keep you in the loop of Jordan’s off-season plans for the Bobcats.

After last night’s loss to the New York Knicks the Charlotte Bobcats will officially go down in the record books as the team with the single lowest winning percentage in NBA history (%10.6 on the season). How did it happen? How did Michael Jordan go from the best winning percentage of all time as a player with the Bulls to the lowest of all time as an exec with the Bobcats program? Well for one this year was marked as one of rebuilding, so it’s not as if they were anticipating a championship or even a playoffs bid. Second, the season was not without its number of distractions, including the rumors of MJ’s desire to sell the team if they couldn’t turn it around and a bit of back and forth at the season’s end between former coach Larry Brown and Michael. Will they be able to put together a more respectable performance come next year? They’re looking at a possible first overall pick in the draft so here’s to hoping. Keep your fingers crossed that MJ can extend his legacy via the Charlotte Bobcats and keep it locked with Jordans Daily as we update you on the squad. Photos: Yahoo!

Sure Charlotte is hurting a bit in terms of basketball (more on that later), but the local community is doing just fine in terms of the sneaker economy, as evidence by the recent Sneaker Friends x Charlotte Bobcats showcase event.

It’s no secret that the Charlotte Bobcats aren’t exactly a squad on par with the excellence of their owner Michael Jordan, sitting at rock bottom in the NBA right now with just seven wins over the course of the season. The franchise has continually been a loss for Jordan himself, raising rumors recently of Michael’s plans to sell them off if they couldn’t turn into a winning team. Over the weekend Michael cleared that up, shooting the rumors down by saying he is “100% committed to building the Bobcats into a contender”. Here’s to hoping that he can do just that. via NY Daily News/Yahoo!/ESPN
