2 million people literally on my block for the weekend. this is what it looked like at the end of my street, for example:

it was a great time, though! just a bit overwhelming for the people who actually reside here.

http://www.sporcle.com/games/bwweinrib/bobcats_leaders

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 figured I would be the only one that watched it on here. I caught the very end but have it on DVR, I will have to catch up later.

While we're on this topic, is there any NBA player that majored in engineering?

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.

I went into this thing thinking it was just Bobcats, and after I got the first 15 (thats the only Bobcats that were on there) no other players starting popping up. I started getting kinda pissed. I finally hit I give up with 25 seconds left rather confused.
