Favorite Hornet of All-Time?

[RelaxImaPro]

Michael Jordan

[Brooklyn Bully]

Anthony Mason

[carolina-chuck1]

Baron Davis.

The list goes on.

What happened to this franchise now?

[cbarrier90]

Kobe Bryant.

Come on. You can do better than that. If you really wanted to make us mad the "sting" of Anthony Davis is much more fresh right now.

Mash

Muggsy

Tractor Traylor

LJ

Zo

Dell

Mase

remember that half season Frank Brickowski played? dude would do anything for the W

EJ

Rice

Baron Davis

and I'm surprised no one mentioned Scott Burrell

[teeray]

Man... No joke I have called at least 8 players my favorite all time at some point.

If I narrowed it to my top 3 it would be LJ, Bogues, and Curry probably in that order

No one has mentioned Bryce Drew either. and what of Ricky Davis? You can still find him on playgrounds intentionally missing to get rebounds.

Muggsy and Dell

I don't know if people forget because of Eddie Jones or what, but I know I just forgot too... Eddie Johnson.

 

I think it was 1993/1994, one of our injury ravaged years. Eddie Johnson was just a third shooting guard / small forward not expected to do much. Then the injuries started. He put up 30 a few times early on. Then sometime in January he caught fire. He had a month long stretch were he averaged 24 points a game. IIRC, he had the Hornets' first ever 4 point play.

And Ricky Pierce....dont forget the backcourt of Mugsey5'3 and Michael Adams 5'8 lol...when Allen Bristow plays small ball it is SMALL Ball.. Also having Dell, Eddie Johnson and Ricky Pierce on the floor was some interesting offense...but definitely no D.

Brickkowski was also unstoppable in the post.

How about the second stint with Kendall Gill where he would again play the point but post up and do a baseline spin for an amazing dunk every game.

For the Kids: Kendall Gill was the first Charlotte athlete to force his way out of charlotte bc Zo took 30 shots a game and made Gill the third wheel on offense(which he should be)

I loved it when we had the Supersonics castoffs...Sidney Green even making 12 foot jumpers on occasion.

Mugsy. He was short and had the sweetest handles. He made all us average height normal humans believe we could someday be in the NBA

I honestly do not Remember Ricky Pierce playing in Charlotte. Yes Bristow went small. Didn't 6'3 Hersey Hawkins start at power forward for a bit when LJ was out?

All I remember about Sidney Green is that he would grab every single rebound when he was on the court.

Remember Kendall Gill's first game in Charlotte after being traded? Every time he touched the ball the Coliseum would erupt in boos.

I wish BOA had even a tenth of the energy the Hive had from 1991-1995
