Michael Jordan's high school all-star game is coming to Charlotte.

The 10th Jordan Brand Classic, one of the top high school showcases in the country, is moving from New York's Madison Square Garden to Charlotte's Time Warner Cable Arena, where Jordan's Charlotte Bobcats play.

The game is scheduled for April 16, 2011. In addition to a game featuring the country's top seniors, there will be an international game featuring top under-17 players from around the world and a North Carolina all-star game.

The Jordan Classic - eclipsed in national significance only by the McDonald's All-Star Game - was first played in 2002 in Washington. After two years it moved to Landover., Md., before heading to New York from 2005 through 2010.

The game's top players have played in the Jordan Classic, including LeBron James, Dwight Howard, Chris Paul, Kevin Durant and Amare Stoudemire.

Last year's game featured MVPs Kyrie Irving (who went to Duke) and Harrison Barnes (North Carolina). Kendall Marshall and Reggie Bullock, both at North Carolina this season, and N.C. State's C.J. Leslie also played.

Durant, who was an MVP in 2006, attended Tuesday's news conference at Time Warner Cable Arena and officially "broke" the news of the game's move to Charlotte on his Twitter account.

He said meeting Jordan and playing with and against the top high school players in the country was an experience he'll never forget.

"It made us feel important," said Durant, whose Oklahoma City Thunder played the Bobcats on Tuesday night. "It got us ready for the big leagues."

Tickets, which start at $10, are available at TicketMaster and the Time Warner Cable Arena box office.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      I am gonna believe it wasn’t us if the 4th round pick price is accurate. We needed 225 points to get from 19 to their pick. 875 at 19 to 1100 at 14.  Our 2026 4th was valued at 56 points I think. A future 4th has less value. So that wasn’t close to enough.    It would have taken our third and our fourth. Comes within a point of even.    Now, moving to their spot in the second round we could have done but after Miami took Rodriguez why would we?

      I mean it's expected.  This is the NBA.  And they hate the Charlotte Hornets.  Flagg was also the guy "magically" given to the Mavs who lost Luca to the wildly popular Lakers.  Was always an uphill battle.  But the award is BS since it's not voted on before play-in starts. Kon probably lost because of the play-in as many people switched votes.  It was a regular season award, so this is some nonsense.  Kon also didn't have the luxury of taking 10 games off to rest up injuries like Flagg did.  If he did, he wouldn't have been nursing his back the last month.  I mean, screw him for being on an actual playoff team that matters.  Flagg took tons of shots a game, he was wildly inefficient.  Kon was a huge reason the Hornets made the play-in and turned the season around after Jan.   I think Flagg will probably be the better player long term, or at least the most impact.  But Kon should have won ROTY.
