Jordan to have majority ownership of BobcatsBasketball Betting Lines02/27/2010 - Charlotte, NC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Charlotte Bobcats owner Bob Johnson reportedly announced in the early hours Saturday morning that he has reached a definitive agreement to sell a majority interest of the club to Michael Jordan and MJ Basketball Holdings, LLC. The deal, as per the Charlotte Observer, is still subject to NBA approval. Johnson, the founder of Black Entertainment Television, became the first black American to be the principal owner of a North American major-league sports franchise when Charlotte began play in 2004. Jordan joined the Bobcats ownership group in June 2006 and served as the team's managing member of basketball operations, the same position he held with the Washington Wizards earlier in the decade. As a five-time league MVP, six-time champion and two-time gold medal winner, Jordan has few rivals in regards to his game on the court. The North Carolina native's stints in the front office, however, have come under some scrutiny. First was the tumultuous 2003 split with the Wizards after 3 1/2 unsuccessful years with the organization as president of basketball operations, a position he held while he was finishing up his playing days. Now in Charlotte, Jordan has rarely been seen at team practices or games despite calling the shots on all personnel transactions. His most notable move thus far was luring fellow Hall-of-Famer Larry Brown to coach the team at the start of the 2008-09 season. The Bobcats have never made the playoffs, though they sit a half-game behind the Miami Heat for the eighth and final spot in the Eastern Conference race with a 28-29 record this season.

MySportsbook.com: NBA Championship Odds With the playoffs about two months away, the top two teams in the Western Conference are the clear cut leaders to win the NBA Championship. The Dallas Mavericks have the best record in the NBA (44-9) and have been absolutely scorching since the second week of the season. What makes the Mavs’ record more impressive is the fact that they dropped their first four games of the season. Currently they have won 17 out of their last 18 and are MySportsbook.com’s favorite (2-1) to win it all. Right behind the Mavs are the Pacific leading Phoenix Suns (39-13). Last season, the Suns lost in the Conference Finals to non-other then the Mavericks four games to two. Of course the Suns were without center Amare Stoudemire who has is averaging 19.9 PPG and 9.5 RPG since coming back from his knee injury. Unlike the Mavs, the Suns have struggled a bit lately having lost their last three and four out of their last seven. Of course the main reason for their three straight loses is due to the absence of two time MVP Steve Nash, who is out with a shoulder injury. Heads-up, the Mavs have beaten the Suns in both of their meetings this season. In the Eastern Conference, the Pistons (32-19) are the favorites to win it all at 6-1. The addition of Chris Webber seems to have been a good move for the Pistons. Since coming over from the 76ers, Webber has averaged 13.1 PPG and 7.3 RPG and the Pistons are 11-4. Even though the defending champion Heat are currently on the playoff making cusp, they are the Eastern Conference team that is getting the most action to win it all (9-1). The fact that Shaquille O’Neal is back in the starting lineup after missing 39 games probably has something to do with this. No doubt, Shaq makes a difference when in the lineup as their winning six out of their last seven would indicate.
