SAD NEWS: Charlotte Hornets announced that LaMelo Ball is Leaving immediately after Facing…..
The New York Knicks will travel to North Carolina to face the Charlotte Hornets at the Spectrum Center in an NBA preseason matchup on Sunday.
This will be the first preseason game for both sides and with the NBA regular season less than three weeks away, both coaches are expected to put out strong lineups.
No. 23’s disappointing reign in Charlotte was in stark contrast to his legendary run as a player, when he won six NBA championships as a member of the Chicago Bulls.
But in a parallel universe, Air Jordan’s parting gift with the Hornets was a $500million valued asset.
The San Antonio Spurs won the lottery — literally and figuratively — in 2023 after landing the No. 1 pick in that year’s draft.
The basketball gods were clearly looking down on the Spurs as the franchise — which has already had its fair share of success in the modern era — was given first dibs on generational talent and super-prospect Victor Wembanyama — arguably the most hyped teenager since LeBron James.
It was a franchise-altering twist of fate that could have been — and perhaps should have been — the perennially impoverished Hornets.
Charlotte received the No. 2 pick in the draft, putting them within touching distance of a 7ft 4in French phenom who would have rejuvenated their entire organization.
