I posted the first two, but I never went back and followed up. The full, official Charlotte Hornets* 30th Anniversary team:
- #10: Al Jefferson
- #9: Kendall Gill
- #8: Gerald Wallace
- #7: Baron Davis
- #6: Glen Rice
- #5: Muggsy Bogues
- #4: Larry Johnson
- #3: Kemba Walker
- #2: Dell Curry
- #1: Alonzo Mourning
This is an odd contention, because it seems to rest solely on the idea that Wallace never played for a team contemporarily named the Hornets. He certainly played for the franchise currently named the Hornets (i.e. the Bobcat-Hornets), which is more than can be said for Kendall Gill, Baron Davis, Glen Rice, Muggsy Bogues, Larry Johnson, Dell Curry, or Alonzo Mourning.
I mean, I get that there's some deal where the Bobcat-Hornets get to claim the history of players who played for the Hornet-Pelicans when the Hornet-Pelicans were in Charlotte (which is silly to me, but OK, stipulated), but the idea that this deal should create an orphan franchise of the ten years of the Bobcat-Hornets when they were playing in Charlotte, and were continuous with the current Hornets but just happened to be named the Bobcats doesn't make any sense at all.
That has been my contention since it was announced that the Bobcats were going to "become" the Hornets, and I stand by it; I don't really give a damn who thinks it's odd. I'm doubling down, if you will.

This post makes me feel so old. "yacked on"?

Don't worry, I'm 31 and I don't get it
I'm twelve years older than you; context clues suggest it means "dunked on." Might not be an age thing, IJS.
Although, he really more sort of blew past Doncic, and dunked on Kleber; Doncic was in the frame, sure, but he looked like he made, what the streets like to call a "business decision."

Saw the highlight just now. Good move! Though you're right, re: blew past.
I'm (none of your damn business) years older than you and I think you're right but back in the prehistoric times "yacked on" meant being on the receiving end of projectile vomiting.

I know there is another half to go but how are the Celtics down 20 at half to the Suns? and they only have 35 points too. Gordon Hayward has been abysmal so far in this early season and it may be time for the Celtics to try to make a move for Jimmy Buckets to help Irving out because that team isn't contending in the East with that roster.

Well, at least we know it wasn’t us.. Who is beating the Bucks or Raptors now?
Unbelievable that Denver had a chance to tie Golden State for first place in the western conference last night, and all they had to do was beat the Nets, at home. SMH

Bogdanovich arm around Yogi at end of game. Good news is chemistry great with team. Bad news is Bogdanovich barely looks 6'4. Dunno about small forward thing.
