Jordan's Bobcats Poised to Be Worst NBA Team Ever Michael Jordan's No. 23 has long been synonymous with greatness. By Thursday night that number could have a completely different meaning for him. His Charlotte Bobcats face their 23rd consecutive loss and would finish the season with the worst winning percentage in NBA history (.106) if they don't beat the New York Knicks on the final night of the shrunken season. And that would mean the man recognized globally as the greatest basketball player ever would be the not-so-proud owner of the worst NBA team ever. A spectacular resume that includes six NBA championships and five league MVP awards would also include one very forgettable season for the record book. It's been 39 years since an NBA team finished with a worse winning percentage than the Bobcats. In a full season, the 1972-73 Philadelphia 76ers finished 9-73 (.110) in a full regular season. In this lockout-shortened regular season, the Bobcats are a woeful 7-58 - and they are every bit as bad as the numbers indicate. They're last in league scoring and shooting percentage. They've lost 21 games by 20 points or more. It's hard to decide what's worse, their offense or their defense. That may be tough since the Bobcats are everything Jordan wasn't as a player - unproductive, uncompetitive and unwatchable. While Jordan is sticking to his plan, the Bobcats have been painful to watch. No one on the roster comes close to having Jordan's charisma - not to mention his ability to dominate. They lack a face for the franchise, at least on the court. And all that's on Jordan. His reputation as an executive continues to take hit after hit, just the way he used to make game-winning shot after shot. Jordan's questionable decision-making has landed the Hall of Famer at the center of a debate about which former star turned NBA executive has done the worst job. Jordan spent a season-and-a-half in Washington as team president and later as a part-time player. And while the Wizards were attractive at the box office, they were horrible as a team and owner Abe Pollin ultimately fired Jordan. Jordan was criticized for trading Juwan Howard and Richard Hamilton, drafting Kwame Brown with the No. 1 overall pick and signing Larry Hughes to a big contract. He resurfaced as a minority owner with the Bobcats in 2006 and assumed control of basketball decisions under the watch of former team owner Bob Johnson. Yet poor personnel decisions continued to plague him. The Bobcats swung and missed on draft picks Adam Morrison and Alexis Ajinca. They traded away a first-round pick to get Tyrus Thomas, who's been a flop and is still owed $26 million over the next three seasons.
