Charlotte Hornets History

The original Charlotte Hornets franchise joined the NBA in 1988 and, thanks to players such as Larry Johnson, Alonzo Mourning and Kendall Gill (and later, Glen Rice, Anthony Mason and Jamal Mashburn), enjoyed substantial success in the 1990s, starting with the 1992–93 season. Owner George Shinn moved the franchise to New Orleans in 2002.

But the NBA returned to Charlotte for the 2004–05 season with the expansion Bobcats, led by owner Robert L. Johnson, the first African-American majority owner of a team in one of the four major sports. In 2010, Michael Jordan took over majority ownership of the franchise, and in 2014, Jordan's team re-adopted the Charlotte Hornets name after the previous New Orleans Hornets became the Pelicans.

During the 2017–18 season, four-time All-Star Kemba Walker became Charlotte's all-time leading scorer, surpassing original Hornet Dell Curry.

    Host City Not Very Friendly

    by Nancyb1167 on 10/12/09North Charleston Coliseum - North Charleston

    To have spent over $200 for tickets & have driven 3 hours to the game and had to wait outside in the rain for more than an hour to get inside the arena was not acceptable. Once inside, we stood in line for over an hour to get food from the concessions and the staff was very rude and treated us as if we were bothering them. I spent over $40 at the concessions on food and drinks & when I asked for a straw the young lady told me she didn't have one. I personally would will not ever attend another event at this arena nor will I recommend it to anyone. Sorry. Having lived in Charleston for ver 5 years before I was very ashamed to return and be treated this way.

    Bobcats in the lowcountry

    by Tiburon2674 on 10/12/09North Charleston Coliseum - North Charleston

    I have to imagine they put on this preseason game in Charleston as a means of introducing the Lowcountry area to the closest NBA team, the Charlotte Bobcats. However, the Cavaliers have such a strong national following (especially with LeBron and Shaq) that their fans far outnumbered any Bobcats fans in the house. Was glad to see Charlotte brought along their mascot and dance team, and did certainly try to get the crowd in the game. It looks like there are quite a few basketball fans in Charleston!

    AN EXCITING CHARLESTON NBA GAME!!!

    by BigPlay on 10/11/09North Charleston Coliseum - North Charleston

    All smiles for Charleston, SC. The NBA was a "slam dunk" for this area. LeBron James and the "Shack Attack" was a hit. Great exciting entertainment from the Bobcats-- Great to see Owner Bob Johnson in the Charleston area supporting his team and taking pictures with the fans. More could have been gained if the star players randomly took pics with some of the fans and kids for entertainment.

    lebron and shaq

    by shaqfan on 10/11/09North Charleston Coliseum - North Charleston

    This was an awesome event and I wish more teams would come down ehre and play. They are two things I was upset about one mroe than the other. First the whole not selling clevland stuff was upsetting since thats who most of the people that come wanted to see and buy jerseys for. The main thing was qutographs from the palyers, when i go to charlotte thats all they do while shooting around and after a game. For some reason here though its to big of an issue to allow for whatever reasons are unkown and a lot of people just want a handshake or an autograph so they can have a memory for the res of their life, because it mey never happen again.

    Cavs vs Bobcats

    by ZYDRUNASFAN on 10/11/09North Charleston Coliseum - North Charleston

    My seats were great! I was only 5 yards from the players. The first string played the whole first half. I would love to see the Cleveland Cavs play in Charleston again.

    It was amazing and I enjoyed myself.

    by MsMo24 on 10/11/09North Charleston Coliseum - North Charleston

    I enjoyed the game, it was crowded but everything and everybody handled themselves very professional. The atmosphere was outstanding and I just had the best time on 10/10/2009, and I will be at other games or events more often.

    by OvaB on 10/11/09North Charleston Coliseum - North Charleston

    My family and friends had an excellent time at the game. Prices were lower than games in Charlotte and we got to see LeBron & Shaq!! Best half-time show that I have experienced since we began attending the Bobcats games.

    OK Game--Bad Venue Service

    by sfk1 on 10/11/09North Charleston Coliseum - North Charleston

    As an exhibition game, I wasn't expecting anything great from the teams--just a chance to see a couple of great stars. That I did. Still when you spend this much on tickets, you expect it to be a total evening. Standing in concession lines for a huge part of the game isn't part of the evening fun. Don't the people in charge know that you can make a lot of money on a $4.50 hot dog or $6:00 beer if people can get to the counter to buy them and then get served in less then 5 minutes. That certainly wasn't the case. Didn't they know before hand that it was a sell out crowd?

    NBA-Bobcats vs Cavaliers

    by Buzi on 10/11/09North Charleston Coliseum - North Charleston

    The game was as expected. Thought LeBron and Shaq played enough to get our moneys worth. Was a lot of fun and something my wife enjoyed too. I was impressed by the 5 dudes from Georgia that dunked using trampolines. Wish South Carolina had an NBA team as it was a real treat to have professional basketball in Charleston. The instant replay screens at the North Charleston Coliseum were small and fuzzy. There were no programs with the teams rosters to follow. Overall, was an enjoyable evening.

    Some Charleston Need more of

    by babyboyr on 10/11/09North Charleston Coliseum - North Charleston

    I think it was something clear that Charleston Metro would love to have a local Professional Basketball Team and it show how the locals will support this kind of event.

    Best Sporting Event in Charleston

    by BiggC on 10/11/09North Charleston Coliseum - North Charleston

    We don't get a lot of big sporting events in Charleston. It was great to see an NBA game in your hometown. LeBron and Shaq didn't disappoint.

    unforgettable

    by annabelle2 on 10/11/09North Charleston Coliseum - North Charleston

    Pass standing in the rain, not allowing admittance before 6:30 pm the game was incredible and remarkable-the cost of food was highway robbery considering the economic situation. I love good sporting events, been to the super bowl this year and prayerfully am will be attending the nba all star game in dallas, tx. next year just wish you guys consider those people who has saved their hard earned money to attend these session and become people considerate.

    NBA CLASSIC, YEAH!!

    Bobcats vs Cavaliers

    by Jargo9 on 10/11/09North Charleston Coliseum - North Charleston

    Highly recommend. All time outs and the half time show was entertaining. The new additions to the Bobcats roster make them a competetive team and when Tyson Chandler becomes healthy they will be even better. Seeing Lebron James and Shaq on the same team was unbelievable. My only recommendation would be that the coliseum only had 1 location to buy memorabilia.
