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

    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
