CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WBTV) - After going undrafted in 2010, former Central Cabarrus star Ish Smith has turned hard work into a 12 year NBA career. Now he is coming home to play for the Charlotte Hornets.
A homecoming a long time in the making as he hopes to get the Hornets back to where they use to be when he was a little kid.
“I remember from ‘88 to ‘98, we held the attendance record for 10 years straight,” said Smith. “We had great teams and we want to get back to that level of play. So yeah, I wanted to be home.
