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.

      Auburn literally could've had 20+ fouls in that half. Hate playing teams like this. They picked up 5-6 quick ones then like always happens the refs start to get whistle shy not wanting to call a foul every possession and they start getting away with murder. The way they call the games encourages this type of play. If they keep fouling just keep calling it.

      Bryce Young what a crazy statement

      I think last year actually set him back.  Our interior online was one of the worst I've seen.  Combine that with Frank archaic system and about 10 other things and then Canales comes in and implements his system regardless who the players were. A lot of coaches think their system can work with any player and don't do any or as much as they should with tailoring it to fit the player.  Canales admitted that pretty much in our first game but when he scaled it back and Bryce still looked horrible so he was benched.  That move right there is one of the big things that has sold me on Canales.  I judge him based on what he's done since he was renamed the starter.  I probably need to give him a little more rope because it probably seemed in his first game like it was just like last year.  Another new coach with his system and Bryce just went along.  Both the coach and the player are adapting to each other and I think that we are back, baby!!!!  It's just like Drew Brees and Sean Payton except without the mole and the butthole lips.

      This is why I hate playing hackathon teams. They get away with half of theirs because of ref whistle fatigue then they notice the foul count discrepancy and then you start picking up ticky tack bullshit to even the count on the box score.
