Bobcats owner Michael Jordan suited up for Thursday's workout, participating in a full-court scrimmage with the team.

"He's Mike. He's been kicking our [butts]. He still has it," forward Gerald Wallace said. "He doesn't have this quickness, but he can score, he's a shooter. The last thing to ever go is your jump shot and he has that."

Jordan, who turns 48 next week, has been spending more time at practices and shootarounds, getting on the floor and doing some teaching.

"He's holding these guys accountable and it's great. I love him out here," coach Paul Silas said. "He's teaching them how to protect the basketball, how to play hard on defense, how to talk. It's a good thing.

"The guys work a little bit harder when he's out here and rightly so because he's working hard. You're not going to let him do a job on you if you've got any pride."
