CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - Michael Jordan vows to help Charlotte experience what winning is about, telling reporters and season ticket holders it's a "dream come true" to own the Bobcats.
Thursday's whirlwind of media interviews comes a day after the rest of the NBA's owners approved his $275 million purchase from Bob Johnson. Jordan is the first former player to own an NBA team, and the second black majority owner. Johnson was the first.
Jordan had been a part owner of the Bobcats with the final say on all basketball decisions since 2006. But he hired a general manager and was rarely heard from or seen in Charlotte.
That's changed since he agreed just before midnight on February 26th to buy the team outright. Jordan says he'll spend more time in Charlotte to build the franchise.
