Who outside of the Carolinas believed in Buzz City? Writers as well as thousands, perhaps millions, of fans wrote off the now playoff bound Charlotte Hornets calling them everything from lottery bound to disappointing.
However, the New-Look Hornets are doing something that commands respect from the entire league and all it’s fans, the Hornets are winning. They aren’t just winning, they are putting themselves in prime position for a playoff run.
Currently at 43-31, the team is fighting for the fifth seed in the Eastern Conference. Led by All-Star snub Kemba Walker, who’s having the best season of his career, and French Army Knife Nicolas Batum, the team is swarming and stinging its opponents like the Hornets of old.
