Shocking News!! Charlotte Hornets Head Coach announce the Death of 3 Top Players in….
Hornets haven’t made the playoffs in nine seasons.
They’ve won three postseason games in the last 11 years.
They haven’t made it out of the first round since the 2001-02 campaign when playoff series went only five games, not seven.
They’ve never made it to the conference finals.
Suffice it to say that the Hornets franchise isn’t one of the most successful in the NBA .
There have been brief highlights; Kemba Walker and Larry Johnson come to mind, but not much more.
As the team heads into the 2024-25 campaign, though, there may be some hope.
The Hornets have a young, multi-talented point guard who, when healthy, has been an All-Star.
(It doesn’t hurt that he’s a national draw, either. The franchise hasn’t had a player who can put butts in seats in years.)
Then there’s the other member of Charlotte’s backcourt, a long, versatile player who showed in his rookie season that he could be a legitimate three-level scorer in the NBA.
It’s just a matter of getting them on the court at the same time.
If and when that happens, the two will quickly gel and give Hornets fans the kind of hope they may have never experienced before.
He became an All-Star the following year after starting 75 games and posting averages of 20.1 points, 6.7 rebounds, 7.6 assists and 1.6 steals, again with an assist-to-turnover ratio of more than 2:1.
