I was a Hornets fan back in the 90s, but I also lived in Charlotte, so it was a gimmie. I was pissed when Shinn not only moved them to New Orleans, but took the name with them. Hornet’s Nests are a symbol of Mecklenburg county history and we just let part of that heritage walk away with Shinn. I’m glad we finally got it back.

Los Angeles still needs to give back our basketball team name. Fuckers.
