Bobcats borrow Heels' act

Posted Oct 22, 2006

The Charlotte Bobcats want what the Carolina Tar Heels have -- a devoted fan base, a sold-out arena and championships. One way to get those things, it would seem, is to do as the Tar Heels do, right down to being like Mike in the executive suite. The Bobcats drafted two stars of Carolina's 2005 national championship team, Raymond Felton and Sean May. Then owner Bob Johnson brought in Carolina legend Michael Jordan as a part owner.
