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.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
