Couldn't agree with this final matchup more. No offense to Zo or Glen Rice, but these two are the two best Hornets ever. Mourning is probably the best player all-time to have ever suited up for a Charlotte basketball team, but he only played as a Hornet for 3 seasons. Fortunately, when Charlotte traded Zo to Miami, they got Glen Rice back who, imo, statistically put together the greatest 3 year stretch by a Hornet player ever. Truly an elite scorer.

However, when it comes to importance to Hornet basketball, Kemba and LJ are the clear picks. Johnson only played five seasons in Charlotte, but he was a two time all star and starred during the most successful era of the franchise. Kemba's got LJ on franchise longevity which has allowed him to pass Johnson in points among other things in the franchise ranking standings. Kemba also has an all star season and a couple of playoff appearances, but for the most part, the team has been average or worse since he has been here (supporting casts not withstanding).

I voted for Johnson since statistically he was great and he was a top performer in the league during the most successful stretch of basketball for the Hornets ever. But I have a ton of love for Kemba and I think it's fair that Kemba will eventually pass Johnson as best all time Hornet before his career here ends.

The vote should be close though and deservedly so.

No, no, you're not a dick.  Don't know where you got that from.

      Dan Morgan is an awful GM

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Fans are fed up with this organization's endless string of failures. And, while Morgan's less than a year into his current position, everything he's done is barreling down the same path shat out by his predecessor. If we're just pointing out this alarming lack of discrepancy between the performances of two GMs, it's really not hating. He's just proving to not be a good hire. And, hey, it's alright, because whoever Tepper hires next will, at best, only suck a little bit less. I don't mind people who are optimistic and hope Morgan turns out to be better than he's been thus far. That'd be great. None of us are rooting for him to fail. However, the embarrassing pattern of decisions persists. And it's not a good look.

      Diontae Johnson had “sigh of relief” when he was traded to Ravens

      By strato · Posted

      You have to view everything that was done in 2024 through the ‘eliminate excuses for Bryce Young’ lens IMO. It only makes sense that way.     If you allow for that, you will see that Diontae fulfilled his purpose.

      The Panthers' beat writer called the Johnson trade return "a warm bottle of RC Cola." If you're quick to discount every bit of news that disagrees with your view, maybe your view is the problem. Morgan deals himself a bad hand and he deserves every bit of criticism for it. Fitterer was the worst GM ever, but Morgan is a very similar brand of awful. Certainly when it comes to trades since 2021, Morgan's body of work makes him at best, only one of the worst negotiators in the history of North American professional sports. That's simply pointing out the numerous shortcomings he's put on display. If I point at a guy who shot someone and say "he murdered a guy," I'm not hating on him -- I'm pointing out what he did. If Morgan wants to not be labeled an incompetent clown who makes 31 other franchises better, simply stop being an incompetent clown who makes 31 other franchises better. Or, wait until Tepper makes him the fall guy after Evero.
