sporcle has been publishing these types of franchise quizzes every other day as of late. how about giving this quiz a try? remember - now our history consists both of the Hornets and Bobcats days.
I got 42/50. In an embarrassing fashion I only looked up to notice that I still don't have our all-time leading scorer with not that much time left. I couldn't figure out who of our Hornets legends I had forgot about. Of course, the answer is pretty obvious. He made up 5 of the 8 left answers that I didn't have. A pathetic mistake on my part, even if it is the last hour of my 24-hour shift at work.
In the meantime, I somehow remembered to type in the most forgotten guy on this quiz (4.7%).
i got 48/50, but in reality it was 49/50, because the game has a typo for the #1 leader in blocks. i filled several slots in the last 10 seconds with two answers. i should have gotten the 1 that i didnt get. it was in the blocks category, from the 90s. i once considered him a brother.
can I put blame on the Dell Curry bobbleheads? I got Kenny Gattison, yet forgot our freaking signature player and media face of the franchise in Dell Curry.
I didn't notice any typo in Mourning's spelling though.

Re: Off Topic VI
for **** sakes, I'm definitely leading this board in times I've gone to work with a sock that has a hole in it. have done it today for the second time in a row I've gone to work. I work in a hospital thus I wear flip-flops at work and it's more of a problem in my case.

I have that problem also but usually from putting my socks on half asleep and just keeping on moving only to realize the hole later.

don't worry, they aren't the ones where there is separation with that strap between your toe and the next finger.
I actually hadn't been stumped by the English language like this in a long time. I wanted to use the word "slippers" but they seem to have the connotation off being all fluffy and more suitable for use at home.
And, TheKingOfSting is exactly right, my fingers are all bruised up and some have black toes. I really have messed up feet. Spending so much time in basketball shoes certainly isn't good for them in the long run.

Re: Off Topic VI
I call them sandals. I've kept a pair of these things since I was 15, in 93. I'm surprised they've never stopped making them.

we call them thongs (flip flops) or sandals, but here wearing socks with them has always indicated the worst fashion sense.
I know what you mean about the black toes, when I was a lot younger and faster, I always had black toes from basketball. now I'm so slow when I pull up, all you hear are bones creaking.

I have had the same pair since 11th grade (98) when I couldn't wear shoes after ingrown toenail surgery.
