One of the younger teams in the NBA is the Charlotte Hornets. They joined the NBA as an expansion team in 1988 before leaving Charlotte in 2002 to head to New Orleans. Two years later, Charlotte regained a franchise as the Bobcats. At the start of the 2014, Charlotte dropped the Bobcats and took back the Hornets moniker. (New Orleans became the Pelicans.)
There have been a number of great players throughout the history of Charlotte basketball teams, but there does not seem to be a cornerstone player.
Kemba Walker, Glen Rice, Alonzo Mourning, Larry Johnson, Emeka Okafor, LaMelo Ball, Dell Curry, Muggsy Bogues, Eddie Jones, Baron Davis, and Gerald Wallace all have led the team in key statistics or been members of All-Star teams.
