I sold all of my stuff a couple of yrs back.  None of the stuff fit anyway since it was all bought when I was in elementary and middle school.  I probably made more money from that stuff than I originally bought it for.

Let me preface this by saying that I was ten when I got a lot of this stuff... Now, I don't really have any clothes, but I have a a stuffed Hugo (cute, I know), a Hornets blanket, a stuffed hornets basketball, a vintage Hornets tool box (that in particular is worth quite a bit of money lol), and a few Hornets hats...

 

I also own a new pair of Jordan Retro 5 "Grapes", they match all my Hornets stuff lol.

 

I'm going to have to stock up next year.

I've got a hat signed by Anthony Mason. I waited in line at the old foot locker on Albermarle Rd. just before Independence and when my mother and I got to up to the front The guy who worked at foot locker said that they didn't have any hats and since I didn't bring anything for him to sign then we would have to buy a jersey or something. Before my mom could say ok Anthony reached down and pulled a hat out from under the table he was sitting at and signed it for me. I always remembered that and that hat has been sitting in a box in the attic at my parents house since. He got a bad guy reputation (mainly in NY) but that little gesture had me hooked as a Hornets fan. I was probably like 11 or something then.

Got my old Anthony Mason jersey, and the old the old warmup pants boxed up somewhere at my parents crib.  My uncle was a season ticket holder, and would always carry me to the games.  I remember being a skinny, short 8 or 9 year old kid rocking that Mason jersey to every game.  Might go home and try to find that jersey.  Can't fit it now though lol

    • I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.  
    • Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.  
    • The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
