Greatest individual player season in Hornets history?

Looking through 'greatest peaks' or 'greatest seasons' lists, I don't usually see any Charlotte Hornets being nominated.

What do you think is the single greatest individual season in Charlotte basketball history?

Ranked:

(1) Glen Rice 1996-97 season, 2nd team All NBA, 5th in MVP voting, 26.8 ppg, 47.7% FG and 47% 3PT

(2) Larry Johnson 1992-3 season, All Star and 2nd team All NBA, 22.1 ppg, 10.5 boards, 4.3 ast

(3) Kemba Walker 2018-19 season, All Star and 3rd team All NBA, 25.6 ppg, 5.9 ast, 4.4 rbd

(4) Al Jefferson 2013-14 season, 3rd team All NBA and 8th in MVP voting

(5) Alonzo Mourning 1994-95 season, All Star and averaged 21.3 ppg, 9.9 boards, 2.9 blk

Just to be a contrarian I'll rank Kemba's 2018-19 first and Rice's 1996-97 second.

LaMelo's 2024-25 will be top-five.

2014 Al, 2019 Kemba, 1997 Rice, and pick an LJ season and a Zo season

Greatest Hornets individual game of all-time?

Has to be the Dwight Howard 30/30 game right?

I love basketball reference. Looking at season leaders for Charlotte, the top 2 leading seasons for Offensive rating is held by the 1 Hornet great.

The Amazing Mason Plumlee for 21-22 and 22-23. (also highest season for true shooting percentage.)

Put him in the hall of fame already!

Philly 60 game was great too

I recall one game where we didn't have a PG and Gerald played point forward the entire game and we beat the Lakers. He made kobe and that defense look foolish.

I didn't mention the 60 point game because I just figured that that was understood by everyone except for justbuzzin that game was at the top maybe that other 50 plus game against Utah as well from Kemba.

Yeah, I picked the Utah one because we won and because he had better all around stats (more rebounds and assists)

Yeah I think it's very legit argument to have the Utah game over the Sixers game at the top
