Background - New Orleans Hornets
The Charlotte Hornets joined the NBA in time for the1988-89 season, as the league added four new teams in a two-year stretch. The club suffered through the usual expansion-team doldrums for a few years but then built a solid roster thanks to productive draft picks. Within a relatively short period the Hornets assembled a star-quality nucleus of forward Larry Johnson and center Alonzo Mourning, who led the team to the playoffs in only its fifth year. By the 1996-97 season both Johnson and Mourning had been traded, but Charlotte still looked to be a team on the way up, and the Hornets responded by winning 54 games in 1996-97 and 51 this past season. Many doubted the Charlotte community's ability and willingness to support a professional basketball team. For one thing, it was a small city (although the area did have a sizable market within a few hours' drive). And North Carolina was college basketball country, where the fans' ardor for the amateur game had never translated into a similar affection for the NBA.

New Orleans Hornets
|
Nevertheless, Charlotte was admitted to the league on April 22, 1987, along with Minnesota, Miami, and Orlando. Charlotte and Miami began play in 1988-89, while Minnesota and Orlando first saw action a year later. The Charlotte team adopted the name Hornets, which had historic importance in Charlotte sports history-for many years the city's minor league baseball team was known as the Hornets, and its World Football League team had carried the same name.
Owner George Shinn hired Carl Scheer as the team's first general manager. As commissioner of the American Basketball Association, Scheer had successfully run the ABA's Carolina Cougars from 1970 to 1974 before moving on to revitalize the Denver Nuggets in the mid-1970s. On the other hand, he had also been associated with the dismal Los Angeles Clippers teams of the mid-1980s.
Update The New Orleans Hornets this year are clearly one of the most improved teams in the league. In this past off-season they have acquired free agents Peja Stojakovich, and Bobby Jackson, and through trades, they have acquired Tyson Chandler. Rookie of the year, Chris Paul will also be back for a full season as one of the elite point guards in the league.
Can the New Orleans Hornets improve enough in the western conference to make a run at the playoffs this year? Only one way to find out, come out to the Ford Center and watch the New Orleans Hornets LIVE! Get your New Orleans Hornets tickets from Onlineseats.com!
