Traci Blunt, a spokeswoman for owner Bob Johnson, told The Associated Press that Jordan was able to put together an ownership group late Friday to buy the team he has been a part-owner of since 2006. Jordan has been running the team’s basketball operations. 包伯貓老闆包伯強森的發言人崔西布朗特告訴媒體，老喬將買下這支他 06 年開始參與投資的球隊。 The purchase price and details of Jordan’s ownership group—called MJ Basketball Holdings LLC—weren’t immediately available. Blunt said Johnson would have no further comment. 關於交易的金額與細節尚未知，還沒能與老喬方聯繫到。而布朗特表示包伯強森不會再有進一步言論。 Former Houston Rockets executive George Postolos also bid on the Bobcats and didn’t immediately return a message seeking comment. 也有出價的前火箭隊主管喬治波斯托洛斯尚未回覆媒體詢問的訊息。 NBA commissioner David Stern announced at All-Star weekend that a deal was imminent, but the league’s owners must still approve the purchase. NBA 主席大衛屎疼明星週時表示山貓即將易主，但還要等聯盟各老闆同意。 It will end Johnson’s stint as the first black majority owner of a major professional sports team, while giving Hall of Famer Jordan a new venture. 這終止包伯強森的第一位主要職業聯盟球隊非裔（黑人）老闆的故事，也提供老喬另一項冒險。（沒關係，老喬也是黑人） Jordan won six NBA titles with the Chicago Bulls and has made millions selling sneakers, apparel and other items. Now he’ll begin a completely different role trying to make the Bobcats a winner, and the franchise and Charlotte’s downtown arena profitable. 老喬在公牛隊贏了六座冠軍，靠球鞋...等東西賺大錢。而現在他處在不同的位置，嘗試著讓山貓成為贏家，成為能賺錢的組織。 After paying $300 million for the expansion franchise that began play in 2004-05, Johnson has lost tens of millions of dollars each season as the Bobcats have struggled to draw fans and find sponsorships. 在花了三億美金成立擴張球隊後，強森每季損失千萬美金。 Johnson, the founder of Black Entertainment Television, recruited Jordan to be a minority investor and gave him the final say on all basketball decisions. 強森是黑人娛樂電視的創始人，他讓老喬成為股東並擁有籃球事務的決策權。 Jordan has had a unique role with the Bobcats. While he has run the basketball operations, he’s not officially a team employee and rarely attends practices or games, or does work on the marketing side of the operation. 老喬在山貓的角色很特別。他執行籃球方面的決策，但不正式擔任球隊雇員，也不常出席練習或比賽，同時也鮮少參與行銷方面的工作。 Jordan has had some missteps—drafting the disappointing Adam Morrison(notes) No. 3 overall in 2006—but he was also able to lure Hall of Famer Larry Brown to become coach at the beginning of last season. 老喬有些失誤，例如選了亞當摸你嬸。但是他也成功的邀請名人堂教頭拉里布朗前來。 Jordan and Brown have made seven trades involving 21 players since the start of last season. The November acquisition of Stephen Jackson(notes) from Golden State has helped Charlotte get into playoff contention in the Eastern Conference. 老喬與布朗總共完成了七筆包含二一名球員的交易。傑克船長交易案讓山貓成為季後賽競爭者。 -- 理直，氣和。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 114.45.48.106
