Description
Since their entry into the NBA, the Charlotte Hornets have been a first-class organization off the court. Until recently, however, the team's performance on the court has been a step behind. But despite the frequent losses, Charlotte's ever-patient fans have continued to support their team. Rick Bonnell tells the story of the building of the franchise and how the Hornets have developed into one of the premier teams in the NBA. Bonnell has covered the Hornets for the Charlotte Observer since the team's first season in 1988-89.
