The Charlotte Hornets have a relatively modest amount of accomplishments in their thirty-year history. One of those is a bit surprising and came about in a fairly odd manner.
When you think about some of the NBA All-Star Game’s greatest players, you obviously think of players like Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Kobe Bryant, and more recently, LeBron James.
