NBA professional basketball team season
The 2009–10 Charlotte Bobcats season was the 20th season of NBA basketball in Charlotte , and their 6th as the Charlotte Bobcats. Michael Jordan bought controlling interest in the team from founding owner Bob Johnson in March.
The season saw the franchise finish with its first winning record and playoff appearance in its current incarnation. However, their playoff stay was short-lived, as they were swept by the Orlando Magic in four games.
