    If you thought he was going to become the face of the Charlotte Bobcats after purchasing a piece of the team, think again.

    Jordan hasn't said a word to the local media in 3? months, and he couldn't have stayed much further from the spotlight during training camp, sitting high up in the stands for a couple of practices and a scrimmage at the UNC-Wilmington gymnasium, speaking to a few players individually but never once addressing the team as a group.

    You'd expect his image to be plastered on billboards across town. You'd expect him to at least make a cameo in the witty "Get Closer to the Bobcats" television ads being shown on local television. But none of that is happening.

    For now, he's the invisible man, but still The Man -- the guy who has final say on all personnel decisions, the guy Bernie Bickerstaff now has to run things past, the guy who ultimately might become the face of this heretofore faceless franchise. But only on his terms.</div>
