The Hornet's were initiated to the NBA in 1988 and it didn't take long for them to realize it would be a long road to have a successful team. The Hornets suffered miserably with many mediocre players such as Muggsy Bogues, Dell Curry, David Reid, and Kelly Tripuka.
However the Hornets got lucky in the lottery of the draft and within four years of its birthboasted talents such as Alonzo Mourning and Larry Johnson. The Hornets are no strangers to talent. Great players such as Kendall Gill, Hersey Hawkins, Glen Rice, and Kenny Anderson have played alongside Mourning and Johnson. However all of these players were traded away and the team now consists of stars Eddie Jones, Elden Campbell, Anthony Mason, and Derrick Coleman. The Hornets also have quickly rising stars in Ricky and Baron Davis and Eddie Robinson. This team is definitely exciting to watch.
