With a huge string of losses with all the Charlotte Bobcats team tired in last quarter, the Charlotte Bobcats GM, Lucas Lutkus, alongside with its president, Michael Jordan, decided to fire the fitness coach of the team, Gheorghe Muresan. In his place, the Charlotte Bobcats announced the signing of NBA Hall Of Famer David Thompson! David Thompson was known as "Skywalker," and could do things on the basketball court that most had never even considered attempting. His performance in the 1976 ABA Slam Dunk Contest is what most remember about Thompson, but he had made his name as a high-flyer long before he ever reached the pros. Thompson was so athletically superior to his contemporaries while at N.C. State that his coach needed to invent unique ways for him to score without violating the NCAA's ban on dunking the basketball. Wolfpack point guard Monte Towe would launch the ball high over the rim so that Thompson could catch it and throw it down—the precursor to what is now known as the "alley-oop." Thompson served as something of a role model to a young Michael Jordan (who grew up in Wilmington, North Carolina). Jordan patterned his game after the former N.C. State star, and when his Airness was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2009, he asked Thompson to give his induction speech. Now, David Thompson and Michael Jordan will work together for a better than ever Charlotte Bobcats team! Will it work?
