The Bobcats have only been around for 4 and a half years so I know you guys must of had a different favorite team and if youve been watching the game for 20 years like me you must have a good list.

I don't know that I have an entire team, but I liked a lot of the old players from the Hornets. I was more of a Mourning fan (than an LJ fan), but I think that was because I just started watching the NBA right around the time LJ got injured, and since I was new to the game, I didn't realize how much of a dick Mourning was. I stopped liking him once he essentially demanded to be traded away. I liked Rice, Curry, Mason, B.Miller, Hawkins, Burrell, (for some strange reason, I think he was one of the first rookies we got after I started watching or something), Phills, Wesley, etc.

Rice was amazing that one season, where he was on fire for three months. I liked that Rice/Mason team probably most of all the Charlotte teams. What was our bench called towards the end of the 90's? High Voltage? That was a pretty incredible bench we had for awhile there (B.Davis, R.Davis, B.Miller, etc).

Pg. Price
Sg. Hornacek
Sf. Chris Mullin
Pf. Brad Lohaus
C. Shawn Bradley

Bench: Stockton, Tom Chambers, Craig Ehlo

I used to make this team on NBA live 98, we named it the Computer Technician team, as they seemed like a team of nerdy white guys. Had a simple game plan Bradley to block everything and go for rebounds, EVERYONE else shot 3's.

I was not a Hornets fan as I am new to the area. I was a Knicks fan as a child being from NY and only watching games on msg then they traded Ewing and I followed the Nets and then they blew that team up and I was so upset I became a fan of players and Kobe was my guy. I hated Shaq so much I couldn't quite call myself a Laker fan until he left which is not front running imo because when I become a official Laker fan they sucked.
Now it's Lakers and The Bobcats.

If you noticed you can see the old knicks in Ewing, Harper then the Nets in Kmart,RJ,Kidd and now the Lakers and Cats.
