He may well be the GOAT, but Michael Jordan was a goat in literal terms as an executive and owner. The Bobcats/Hornets had been the running joke of the NBA for quite some time and they hit rock bottom in 11/12. Trading away Tyson Chandler and Stephen Jackson ended up being big mistakes and Corey Maggette who they got in return for Jackson would be injured for a chunk of the season.

They started off 2-4, but the losses piled up soon enough. Charlotte stumbled to a 7-36 record, which while pathetic, certainly was not an indicator of what was to come next. The Bobcats lost their next game to the Sixers by 25 points and began their journey towards immortality. They lost all their remaining games and thankfully for the team, it was the lockout-shortened 66 game season, so the misery ended sooner than usual. At 7-59, they set the record for the worst single-season winning % in NBA history.

Thankfully for Bobcats fans, they won their 1st game the following season against the Pacers 90-89 and avoided the dubious distinction of having the worst single-season record and longest losing run.
