Charlotte Hornets Memory Lane

Thought I would pass this along guys some old stuff I found. Parents took me to the games then an I plan to take my kids now. I have an album of all old items I found on my facebook albums list.

Would appreciate if y'all ol' timers shared some stories of what it was like back then.

Was a kid living about 700 miles away and always wanted to see a hornets game but was never able to make the trip.

Place was rocking every night. I remember opening night tuxes an all. Parents too me to almost every game as a kid. I remember being 15 to get the free giveaways. They accused me of being too old an that hurt my feelings bad. Still have some of the shooting shirts ect they gave to us kids.

I remember going to the games as a kid, standing next to a height chart of mugsy bouges and Alonzo morning. I was an inch taller than mugsy in 5th grade for some reason that made me beam with excitement before that game.

Also I won pair of tickets that same night when they had those blimps that would fly over dripping tickets at half time.

So many good times going to those games as a kid. Now I want to dig out photos of me next to those player height charts.

Just one for the memories from a game.

I trolled the heck out of the Phoenix Sun's MVP year Charles Barkley. It was a TNT game and I was shot bombing the postgame interview with Doug Collins and they had to send a big dude with a black shirt in front of me.

He got up all tired and broken down and I screamed "we let you win old man!" he keeps walking away and Desperate for attention told him he had a nice ass in white shorts.. He turns around slowly and starts to chuckle... And walks slowly to the lockers. Made my night!

In the 25-30+ Hornet games I went to.. I did not see anyone play as hard as Barkley did other than Mugsey. This list includes Karl Malone/who had his career low gm the game i went to, Shaq, Webber, Garnett, Jordan, Pippen(prob bc both CHi games I saw were blow outs by QTR3.

Also Id have to say that The Glen Rice, Vlade Divac, Anthony Mason Trio was some beautiful basketball. They do not get enough credit to how good they were.

Glen Rice had the most effortless three point shot I have ever seen and was always explosive on that backdoor cut where Vlade would lob pass him for a dunk.
