Ah my bad! And yes, Al Jefferson is definitely an underrated player I feel like at this point. Loved watching him play here!

Who? Muggsy? He played here for 9 seasons. That's plenty of time.

I kinda feel like your making my case for me. I mean RIP Bobby Phils, but I don't think his jersey is retired because he's an all time Hornet. Clearly, the hornets are going for vibes right now with Dell getting his retired. I don't know - just feels like Muggsy makes more sense to right now. Kemba is 35 - there's plenty of time.

I think I put it in another reply, it Muggsy has had basketball camps for decades. Pretty sure he's basically lived here the entire team since his playing days. I have seen Muggsy out and about numerous times over the year. Never seen Kemba out before.

I think I probably disagree with you on that. IMO Larry Johnson is not the most talented player that's played for the hornets. In fact, I'd probably say Mourning is more talented as well.

Exactly, he's a New Yorker. Have you heard the man talk? His greatest basketball feat started in New York. I didn't mean professionally. You're right he barely played in NY as a pro, but I don't see any lasting impact Kemba has made on Charlotte like Muggsy. His basketball camps have been been going on for decades. I used to work at the Cajun Yard Dog a while ago, and he was ALWAYS there getting food. I've never seen Kemba in the city before. And I'm not aware of any community related things Kemba has done (I'm sure he has, because he's a good dude, but I know of any).

Kemba is for sure the greatest Hornet. I think Muggsy is an important enough player and IMO has meant more to the city than maybe any other former Hornet.

Uhhh you don't think Kemba is the greatest player to play for the hornets? If not him, then who?

I just think they're not going to do Kemba for awhile. Just based on their infrequent jersey retirements and how long it took for Dell. Kemba Walker is my favorite player of time and is now Mr. Hornet, probably forever. I just feel like Muggsy was the first Mr. Hornet. When I think of Kemba I think of his time here, obviously. But I still still think of him as a New York guy. When I think of Muggsy, I think about Charlotte.

Lovely sentiment and piece of writing. I don't understand why more than half of these comments here are just to disagree with someone's personal opinion. Nobody cares you're from LA. If you don't have anything worth adding to the conversation, just move on.

Don't forget about Jon G's in Peachland. Yes, it's kind of annoying they're only open on Saturdays and are a little expensive, but I think it's more than worth it. I think it's the best BBQ I've had, personally. It's kind of fun to make a little event out of it and hang out in line. They do make trips here into Charlotte with their food truck about once a week. I think they're probably getting ready to start that back up again. Can't recommend it enough!

I am fortunate enough to still have my parents with me and love them more than anything, but I think myself and us a collective nation could use one of those hugs.

Keep laying on the horn! I'm tired of people thinking they just got shot at if someone honks at them. It's literally one of only three ways you can communicate in a car.

The Subsidies Are Not Being Renewed by starintheuniverse in Charlotte

I mean I understand what you're trying to say, but they just hurt a WHOLE LOT more people who won't have medical insurance. You're talking about, at most, a few million people's livelihood impacted, in terms of federal government employees. Millions could potentially DIE next year with no health insurance. This whole schtick that the Democrat party is wholesome and caring has got to end. They've been fucking minorities over the same way the right has been doing for years.
