Mine is Eddie Jones. He was only here for a season and a half but he was the coolest. He had a really fluid game and although he was never dominant he was good at everything but ball handling and was a saint off the court.  Great player and a great role model. Love playing with the 1997 LA Lakers in 2k14. Only wish they had 96 so I could have Van Exel too!

Man, its so tough...

Because of our history of so many great players but not ever retaining them, there were so many I loved at different points just the same.

Starting with LJ, arguably the first and biggest pro sports icon of the Carolinas. I loved Muggy so much that I cried when we traded him to GS.

I can't believe EJ was only here for a season and a half, it seems like it was so much longer. I LOVED EJ! I remember being so excited when we got him because of all those highlight dunks he was racking up in LA. I truly feel he could've been a superstar had he stayed in Charlotte. I also will never forget him wearing those Jordan XVs with the cowl around the top. It was sick!

But for some reason, the two guys that may actually be my favorites, we're BDiddy and Glenn Rice. Just so many awesome memories of those guys, and they were so dominant for their time with us.

Baron Davis had as much talent as I've ever seen in a player. Physically dominant beast. He could post up, dunk over anyone and had some of the best (or at least flashiest) ball handling skills.

 

He's definitely up there for me as well.

      What we had then, what we have now...

      By d-dave · Posted

      If only those guys grew on trees? The 2015 team was really special.  That was such an incredible year until the Super Bowl. What happened was the owner let the football people handle football decisions.  We had a front office that made some really good decisions.  Just hit on FAs and draft picks at a high level.  Those guys became GREAT players.  Our head coach held the team to a standard, but allowed them to be themselves.  That let so many of those guys grow into vocal leaders and tone setters.  Then we had Cam play lights out for the entire year.  We had a defense led by Luke, one of the best to ever play.  We had guys like Greg and TD who were so smart and tenacious. That was a special team.  The biggest question is how do we bring that back?  We don't because we can't.  Instead, we need to build up the team again.  Bryce is not Cam, duh.  Maybe he's not even the guy next season.  But there are some dudes like DB, Horn, Chubba who are all high character, effort productive players. As team, they need to lean into what they do well, and give Bryce his opportunities to prove himself.  If not, you keep building the best team and work on that QB.

      Did the Panthers get Mike McDaniel fired now?

      By CarolinaLivin · Posted

      Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross was less than thrilled after the Miami Dolphins lost against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, 27-24, dropping their record to 1-4 on the season. "He was really frustrated, just like I was," head coach Mike McDaniel told reporters Monday. "We talked about the challenge ahead to get ready for the Los Angeles Chargers, and that was really the extent of it." https://bleacherreport.com/articles/25257873-mike-mcdaniel-admits-dolphins-owner-was-really-frustrated-after-loss-panthers
