Charlotte Hornets

The Charlotte Hornets are an NBA franchise based in Charlotte, founded in 1988. The team has had a turbulent history, including a period of relocation before returning to Charlotte in 2014. The Hornets are now associated with a young and dynamic identity.

The history of the Hornets is marked by the 1990s, when the franchise became very popular thanks to players such as Larry Johnson, Alonzo Mourning, and Glen Rice. In the 2010s, Kemba Walker became the central figure and offensive leader of the franchise, embodying the Hornets’ resurgence.

The Hornets play at the Spectrum Center, a modern arena located in the heart of downtown. Today, the Hornets are in a rebuilding phase, aiming to develop a young competitive team capable of consistently returning to the playoffs.
