The Charlotte Hornets, once a respected upstart Franchise starting in the 1989 NBA Season was at one point a team who had alot going for it in only existing for 14 seasons. From the duo of Larry Johnson and Alonzo Mourning that ended prematurely, trading for Glen Rice and Anthony Mason who had their time in the sun. And playing soon to be cult hero Mugsy Bouges and one of the best shooters of the 90s, Dell Curry. But as the Hornets became riddled with controversy, which we’ll get into later, the Hornets moved to New Orleans, and rebranded as the New Orleans Hornets. However, after a 2 year hiatus of no Charlotte Basketball, the Hornets came back as the final expansion team becoming the Bobcats in the 04-05 season. And as Charlotte sports fans reveled in reliving the good ole days, what they didn’t know is, the Bobcats and soon to be Hornets, would become the most disappointing Franchise in the NBA spanning 20 whole years. Whether that is making horrible draft selections that aged like milk, owners making moves that hinder the team, and or signings that push the team back rather than forward. These are the many types of blunders we will talk about that creates the Charlotte Hornets only making the playoffs 3 times in 20 seasons, going through 8 coaches, drafting only 3 All Stars, and of course, owning the worst record in NBA History at one point. This is The Eternal Rebuild of the Charlotte Hornets, a 20 year NBA Timeline! But hey, atleast they have Lamelo Ball and Brandon Miller to look forward too.
