Come get your tickets to see one of the brightest young teams on the NBA circuit, a team that has already bruised a number of NBA heavies and look set to take championship victory in the near future- come get your tickets to see the Charlotte Bobcats live in action! For a new team the Bobcats have entered the scene with a loud roar, stunning NBA favorites like the Orlando Magic and the Detroit Pistons with their line up of talent.

The Charlotte Bobcats is the youngest team on the NBA circuit, officially formed in 2004. The team was created when the Hornets re-located to New Orleans, thus leaving a new opening for a brand new Charlotte team. There was enthusiastic bidding for the company, which ultimately went to BET founder Robert Johnson who shares ownership with Michael Jordan and rap superstar Nelly.

The name of the team was chosen over monikers like the Charlotte Dragons and Charlotte Flight, mainly because of the cat motif that runs through the city of Charlotte. The bobcat is a native of the Charlotte area and the city's NFL team is called the Panthers. The city's transport system is also called CATS for short- no doubt, Bobcats is a more than apt name for the team! The logo for the team is actually a stylized graphic of the state of North Carolina.

The Bobcats play in the Southeast Division along with the Washington Wizards, the Orlando Magic, Atlanta Hawks and Miami Heat. Despite being the youngest team in the division, the Bobcats have managed to give all of these teams a real run for their money, even beating out established favorites like the Magic. They have a number of talented young players on their present roster, which includes names like Gerald Wallace and Emeka Okafor- Okafor would go on to snag the Rookie of the Year award in 2005.

To get a taste of the fire that burns in the Bobcat team, one simply needs to look back at their record- their very first game was very close loss against the Wizards, raking up a score of 96 against 103. The team would go on to beat such favorites at the Pistons and the Hornets, both victories being close scores. Their first ever victory would come against no less a team than the heavyweights Orlando Magic. With such an impressive starting season, the Bobcats finished with one of the NBA summer league's best records.

Needless to say, the Charlotte Bobcats are certainly poised to take a big and bright future with the NBA. They are the third pick in the NBA draft which gives them access to some good players at trading time. The team also has a very good salary cap situation. But more importantly, the Bobcats know good basketball- don't miss your chance to see them play live. Contact your online ticket vendor and book for Charlotte Bobcats tickets today!
