The Charlotte
Hornets play in the Eastern Conference of the NBA. The Charlotte
Hornets joined the NBA in time for the 1988-89 season, as the league
added four new teams in a two-year stretch. The club suffered through
the usual expansion-team doldrums for a few years but then built a
solid roster thanks to productive draft picks. Within a relatively
short period the Hornets assembled a star-quality nucleus of forward
Larry Johnson and center Alonzo Mourning, who led the team to the
playoffs in only its fifth year. By the 1996-97 season both Johnson
and Mourning had been traded, but Charlotte still looked to be a team
on the way up, and the Hornets responded by winning 54 games in 1996-97.
