Charlotte Hornets coach Charles Lee attended the Carolina Panthers' recent win versus the Dallas Cowboys and couldn't help but gush about the "energy" the hometown supporters brought for the Charlotte-based NFL franchise. He also added that it is "hope" to experience a similar atmosphere "once the basketball season starts."
The thing is, supporting sports teams comes naturally for the people of Charlotte. There would be no need to challenge them to go to the Spectrum Center as long as the Hornets are winning. Obviously, that isn't the case. And Lee is at the forefront of it.
