NBA History the best of: Charlotte Hornets

Greetings and Salutations to all to start this blog off I will be doing a series where I go through every team in the NBA and make a ‘Dream Team’ of sorts. What this encompasses is the best: 5 players, Coach, Emblem and Uniform. I will be going alphabetically hope we all enjoy this! To put it lightly the Charlotte Hornets are not the most successful franchise in NBA history, being one of three teams in history to never make it to the conference finals, and just one of two teams to never win their division.

The Nets would not taste any real success till 2001 when they traded for future Hall of Famer Jason Kidd and proceed to make the 2002 and 2003 NBA finals. After years of competitiveness the Nets moved to Brooklyn in 2012 and have proceeded to do not too much. All time

Boston Celtics The Boston Celtics are the most storied franchise in NBA history with 17 banners in the ceiling, which is 24.3% of all championships since the league formed, also having the record for most consecutive championship wins with eight (1959 – 1966). They are one of the eight original NBA franchises formed in 1946 that have survived to this day. All Time Starting 5   PG – Bob Cousy ‘The Houdini of the Hardwood’, ‘Mr. Basketball’, ‘Cooz’… a man with that many nicknames had to be really good right? Right. Bob Cousy at the time was the best point guard to ever grace the hardwood, revolutionizing the way the basketball was played by not only Point Guards, but by th
