About Hornets Sports & Entertainment

No one ever worked harder or had a better work ethic than Kurt Rambis. He showed those young guys the stuff that he had learned from seven years with the Lakers. He made the Hornets a credible team.

MJ is from Carolina, even though he played on a different team. Incredible enough that MJ wanted the Hornets to return and he busted his behind I'm sure to get them back in the NBA. Soon, Charlotte ended up hosting the ASG and of course, MJ was in town!

[RyanGames]

Charlotte welcomed them with open arms.

For me, Charlotte Hornets were No.2 team in 90s. 🐝

Dell curry Mugusy Bogues! Dell Curry the father of Step Curry, both sharp shooters. Like them both. My favorite Charlotte Hornet is Muggusy Bogues. 5’3 the smallest guard in NBA history. Dell Curry the 1st draft pick in Charlotte Hornets history. Mugusy Bogues was selected in the expansion draft. Personally, I am 5’5. When I was 18, I read an article about Mugusy Bogues. Mugusy Bogues in my book, is always one ☝️ in my heart!❤️
