 * Michael Jordan, a minority owner of the Charlotte Bobcats, buys the team from majority owner Robert Johnson for $175 million.

* Mikhail Prokhorov agrees to pay $260 million to current owner Bruce Ratner for an 80 percent stake in the New Jersey Nets and 45 percent stake in the long-delayed arena the Nets expect to build and move to in Brooklyn. He also has an option to purchase 20 percent of the surrounding real estate development Ratner plans to build.
