The Bobcats is one of the newest basketball teams in the professional league; the NBA allowed the creation of the franchise early in 1987 and from that point on the team became then the 24th active member of the Association and began to play as of 1988.
One of the notable Bobcats pioneers has been forward Gerald Wallace who won the NBA Eastern Conference Player of the Week (November 28, 2005) and also the team's leading scorer; recently Wallace renewed his contract with the Bobcats for a $57 million six-year contract.
Some other accomplished players are: Emeka Okafor who eventually won the 2005 NBA Rookie of the Year Award and the 5 foot 5 point-guard Earl Boykins who was acquired early this year (2008). |
During the latest 2007-2008 season the Bobcats finished in 4th position with 32 wins, 50 loses and a winnings percentage of .390 in the Southeast division and are ranked number twelve in the Eastern Conference. Not much difference from the previous season in 2006-2007.
The team’s current Head Coach is Sam Vincent who just began leading the team in 2007 but the Bobcats were not able to enter this season’s playoffs.
