Bob Johnson�s ownership of the Bobcats team was rocky from the beginning.

Can it work,sunglasses? If he s going to be an absentee owner,mens sunglasses, just like Bob was, it s not going to work,ray bans, Felix Sabates, a NASCAR team owner who also holds a minority stake in the Bobcats told the Associated Press. I think if Michael makes a commitment and shows dedication, he can be very successful. He s a big icon in this part of the country. Former Houston Rockets executive George Postolos,sunglasses shop, who had an ownership group together to buy the team before Jordan swooped in at the last minute,sunglasses for men, thinks the deal shows Jordan really wanted the team. It s a very substantial part of his net worth,ray ban glasses, Postolos said. He s very,police sunglasses, very committed. If Johnson had to let the team go,prescription sunglasses, then Charlotte resident and best selling author Omar Tyree says Michael Jordan is the ideal buyer. �The best case scenario is to continue to have a man of color own a major American sports team in the era of Obama,cheap ray bans,� reminds Tyree,ray ban sunglasses sale, in an interview with Suite101.com. �We need to have that to inspire more African American ownership, and be a part of the bigger business opportunities that typically pass us by.� Jordan�s $275 million bid for the team was formally approved by the NBA Board of Governors on March 18. With his recent acquisition of the team,ray ban clubmaster, Jordan hopes to lead the team in a new direction. �I plan to make this franchise an organization that Charlotte can be proud of, and I am committed to doing all that I can to achieve this goal,� Jordan said. NBA Commissioner David Stern is pleased to have Jordan as owner of the Bobcats team. We are pleased that Michael Jordan s purchase of majority ownership of the Bobcats was approved by the NBA s Board of Governors and closed in such a smooth and expeditious fashion. We look forward to the continued growth of the Bobcats, on and off the court, under his leadership. The first order of business will be to see if the Bobcats qualify for the NBA playoffs this season for the first time. In the NBA, success on the court can take care of other problems rather quickly.
