I’m sure if you’re reading this, you’ll remember how the original Charlotte Hornets were taken from the city and its fans. People are still upset about how it all went down and many still hold ill-will towards former Hornets owner, George Shinn.
Most have moved on, however, and Charlotte regaining an NBA team was a large part of that. You could argue that the Bobcats and now Charlotte Hornets have been a pale comparison to the original team that first played its games in Charlotte back in 1988, but I think most people are just as happy to have the current product.
