The Charlotte Hornets have always had one of the better media departments in the league. On the television side, we have had professionals like Steve Martin and Gil McGregor who graced the Hornets community with excellent play-by-play analysis for ten years together. They’ve been succeeded by the always enjoyable duo or Eric Collins and Dell Curry.
The radio side is where the the Hornets most iconic voice made his name. Steve Martin was a staple of Charlotte basketball broadcasts since the original inception of the Hornets in 1988. His calls of Alonzo Mourning’s game-winning shot against the Boston Celtics in 1993 and Larry Johnson’s shot against the Seattle SuperSonics the year prior will be a part of Hornets lore forever.
