Franchise history
When the Charlotte Hornets moved to New Orleans for the 2002-03 season, the city and the NBA agreed to create a new team for the 2004-05 season. Several ownership groups, including one led by former Boston Celtics star Larry Bird, made bids for the team. In the end, a group led by BET millionaire Robert L. Johnson won out. Johnson is one of the first prominent African-American owners in U.S. sports. The "Bobcats" name originated with him.

The team will play in the Eastern Conference's Southeastern division, along with the Miami Heat, Orlando Magic, Atlanta Hawks, and Washington Wizards.

The Bobcats held their expansion draft on Tuesday, Jun 22, 2004, picking up such seasoned players as Peja Drobnjak and relative newcomers such as Theron Smith. They also had the second pick in the 2004 NBA Draft, which they used to select Emeka Okafor.
