Favorite Hornet of All-Time?

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.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
