Top 10 Plays from the "Classic" Charlotte Hornets

[@Midnightblew23]

To this day. LJ is still extremely underrated. Poor Gran' mama :(

[@MrAtlfan21]

needs to be in the HOF

[@wayneedward7391]

He was a superstar in Charlotte and they will never happen again lj,AM,KG if they could played together it could had been special

[@mam162]

Welcome back to the NBA, Charlotte Hornets. You have been missed.

[@justinm1319]

mam162 as a Charlotte Hornets fan I truly missed them

[@dorianwright6854]

Larry Johnson had so much natural ability. A beast.

[@justinm1319]

My Charlotte Hornets baby! Grew up going to these games as a kid. Oh the memories

[@eastsideqc]

Same here

[@Michael-ji8lu]

Although I have been a Bulls fan all my life, I really enjoyed watching the 90's Hornets living in NC. Great basketball teams and fun to watch. They never got the respect they deserved.

[@ReboundzGaming]

larry johnson one of the best PFs to ever play

[@Scamp2x]

Your right about that

[@Superdude637]

Only if he could stay healthy

[@ReboundzGaming]

yeah it was a pitty his injury held him back :/

[@_painn9837]

omg what is this amazing

[@BlessedN777]

Facts

[@ItsDiscoGuy]

I just love Muggsy Bouges :)

[@businessboykenichi]

that dunk on KG had me yell oh my god...then I realized I'm on the city bus lmao B Diddy tho

[@jiceyy_jovan9252]

Don’t use God name in vein its a sin

[@ja8ames]

That Mourning shot fascinates me, both because of what a great moment it is in Hornets history and how good a young team they were right then, and also because it was the end of the classic Celtics of the 80s.

[@yohanZ95]

Everybody thought they could be like mugsy bogues when they were young

[@GuccioneAle]

Old School of basketball ! Amazing Big Mama !

[@RonaldDorsinator]

I miss Baron Davis being In the NBA dude was a beast

[@tc.productions8511]

These highlights were Beast

[@johanyonathan6287]

awesome ....especially larry " big mama " johnson highlight ...spectacular

[@allenjames2961]

Great Plays From The Classic Charlotte Hornets Teams At Number 1 That Was A Incredible Game Winner Alonzo Mourning Made He Just Falls Backward And Raises His Arms Now That Was Legendary NBA Stuff!

[@MrLynksys1000]

Technically wasn't the end of the game. Shot clock keeper got distracted by it and forgot to stop the clock lol. Ended up with .4 on the shot clock for Celtics to inbound. Dee Brown went to slam it off the inbound pass from McHale and Kendall Gill blocked it backwards (and depending on who you ask goaltended).

[@minialwow]

The original fear the beard, Baron Davis

[@ManofGold24]

B-Diddy punked KG on that play.. you don't see that often

[@nathanmasters7952]

Great! Now bring back the Sonics

[@nathanmasters7952]

***** They should move a team there, How about the Jazz? New Orleans Jazz made sense because NOLA is known for their Jazz but Utah Jazz?

[@nathanmasters7952]

***** Utah Jazz haven't changed teams, they've been in Utah since 1979 I think

[@nathanmasters7952]

***** The first Jazz team was called NO Jazz in 1974-1979 then they moved to Utah and became Utah Jazz 1979-Present, you're thinking of the NOLA hornets who only joined the league in 2002 after moving from Charlotte, Both different teams(Jazz and Hornets/Pelicans) the NOLA Jazz finished in 1979

[@nathanmasters7952]

***** Milwaukee is not a western conference team... How about the Kings? California already has 3 teams are they going to be missed that much?

[@heikiu96z]

Nathan Masters nope, they tried to buy the kings but nba rejected the offer because of the huge Sacramento fan base

[@pennyccwai]

Ricky Davis rookie season tip jam should be on this list

[@DamnMixes]

exactly, better than half of these plays, the way he jumped so high, above the rim, a rare kind of the dunk.

[@cirkmannzirkel8229]

The no. 6 dunk is a classic I was looking for for ages on the internet... finally. But sadly without the other announcer! "Baby bring down the house!" - "He needs not to jump that high!" :)) Anyone got that to put in on youtube? I agree about the Ricky Davis tip dunk missing here though.

[@cirkmannzirkel8229]

at 1:06

[@BrandonKohout]

Muggsy Bogues and Larry Johnson are the Dynamic Duo of Charlotte Hornets.

[@CornAssy]

These plays are sick!!

[@aundreii151]

Baron Davis. WOW..

[@texstout]

Bamboozled Jon bois

[@PaulieAFantoneJays19]

He was a monster of a player when the injuries weren't holding him back

[@Wyndamn]

Larry Johnson was a BEAST!!!!!!

[@adamr7026]

Muggsy is such a great player

[@Seljaman]

NBA should make more of this kind top 10 plays. Like LA Lakers top 10 plays of all time.. that would be amazing

[@ernestbrown2687]

True hornets fan here through good & bad times! We coming back strong this year keep walker we have to learn from giving up kobe😢😢😢.

[@milazbenecka]

Grandma !!! He was a beast.

[@KobeAKABeast]

As soon as the whole hornets team was on Alonzo Mourning the commentator says "Ooooh I LOVE this game"

[@batuhanbartn4406]

Baron Davis unbelievable shot WOW

[@josipevic6280]

I always get sad when I see Zo's biggest shot was in his rookie year. Most other superstars have their later career surpass the rookie year, but Zo somehow stayed 'just' a great center, shadowed by The Dream or Ewing

[@GatCat]

Glen Rice is one of my favorite players that isn’t known today.

[@tallguy00121]

He was awesome for a few years. I remember being so excited when I heard he was coming to the Hornets from the Heat. Didn't know at the time he was traded for Alonzo Mourning though:(

[@pawelzawislak1671]

I can't believe there was only one Zo's play. Most of his shotblocks deserve to be here.

[@Brainwatch]

Grandma? Why do you dunk so nasty?

[@thefunnysportsman774]

NBA those uniforms look unique and and nice!

[@gabekarl82]

what if Baron Davies was healthy and injury-free his entire career?

[@TheKomet123]

Matt Johnson that was an acciddent

[@gabekarl82]

Matt Johnson TJ Ford tried to Box him out and you can't expect Baron say/do "I am not going to compete with the rebound because you have a surgically repaired spine" ... If only that ball went in I say it's JR Smith's fault for not making that 3

[@isawrooka4]

Gabe Karl That's fine and dandy, but he wasn't fighting for the rebound. It was a horrible cheap shot and you're delusional if you can't see that.

[@elliotchoi9239]

Gabe Karl Baron Davis had already shoved Ford before the three even hit the rim. So no, it wasnt JR smiths fault.

[@isawrooka4]

Gabe Karl LMFAO. So because JR missed a shot that even the greatest shooters in history only hit 40-45% of the time it's his fault? You're a special kind of stupid.

[@StoneCold3.16]

For me, Charlotte Hornets 🐝 are No.2 team in 1990s.

[@Aerochalklate]

1:41 Jordan entered his soul in mid-air

[@ethanmcintyre6852]

The unis are legit

[@wayneedward7391]

Baron Davis was so special but he had two damn bad knees so his career was very short I mean in the sense of greatness I actually think he played awhile

[@GetBenched2010]

the fans chanting BUZZ that year was epic.

[@tannergriffith8658]

I've been a hornet's fan since I was 15 and now

[@d-upcomix]

“Granmama! One on one! Me and you!”

[@1BALINT1]

Larry Johnson was a MONSTER!!!

[@NBAEVER4]

Vintage NBA is also amazing !

[@najeefareed8890]

baron davis was just nasty

[@ThePinoyMamba]

Would get those Classic Jerseys

[@wavepapi3338]

A lot of people loves the Hornets when they have Mourning, Johnson and Bogues.

[@eingelvf]

Young baron....Oh GOD!!

[@godfreybrudolphY3]

LJ goated bruh

[@israeldaniel2487]

Now do a top 10 plays of the "old raptors" and then compare it to this....

[@ParSekut]

The Muggsy Bogues Hornets are way better than the Muggsy Bogues Raptors.

[@nbawalker4336]

Israel Daniel its all just Vince other than that idk

[@jacobnorton21able]

Yeah my home team HORNETS!!!

[@matthutton324]

THE BUZZ IS BACK

[@briandickson3496]

I loved the BBQ vendors at the old coliseum.

[@blarae50]

Grandmama was a superstar back then

[@onunka16]

I miss Larry Johnson.

[@tellyhennessey5422]

L!!!!!!!!! J!!!!!!!!!!

[@TjSamson]

This 90s Hornets could easily be a potential championship contender if they managed to stay together.

[@fawazza]

Baron Davis was the TRUTH! Larry Johnson did the Jordan on Jordan at 1:45!

[@prlysis]

Out of curiosity, how many fans from Charlotte still cheered for the Hornets after they left for New Orleans? I was one of them.

[@zanephillips7625]

prlysis not me

[@tevinjones4759]

That last one was nasty aha

[@wizskinz9987]

Tony got excited at 2:32

[@Toyotas_n__Tools]

Old Cliffy got dunked on hard, I had his Dairy Queen Cup

[@kevinjwhite334]

Epic

[@q-wop571]

Forgot Kendall Gill

[@ABATHlNGAPE]

Man, baron could ball.

[@unappealingundesirable2826]

I was born in Seattle in 1973, where I grew up. Sonics and Blazers fan. Although, I hate the Lakers, I DO respect Tom Rambis.

[@Jmb3oh5]

Baron davis a.k.a. highlit machine=respect

[@MasenkOG]

Can't believe that the deepest in game full court shot in NBA history is only number 9

[@Sense8Kai]

Holy shit! I literally did not see Muggsy in the thumbnail

[@LucaScalvi]

I don't know the top action of the hornets but i know the worst: send Kobe to LA

[@andrewwilson8082]

Bdizzy was straight up nasty back then

[@AP-hv9wb]

The original Charlotte Hornets had great players over the years, if they could have kept them together and the hornets were not relocated, they could have built a champion contender team for years, my all time favorite original hornets 1. Alonzo Mourning (c) 2. Larry Johnson (pf) 3. Glenn Rice (sf) 4. Kendall Gill (sg) 5. Muggsy Bogues (pg) 6. Matt Geiger (c) 7. Anthony Mason + (pf) 8. Jamal Mashburn (sf) 9. Dell Curry (sg) 10. David Wesley (pg) 11. Vlade Divac (c) 12. Elden Campell (pf) 13. Bobby Phills + (sg) 14. Rex Chapman (sg) 15. Baron Davis (pg)

[@rohan_3128]

muggsy bogues short but solid type of guy

[@foreverlearning3182]

My team!!!!!

[@tiagobcb96]

R.I.P. Eddie Griffin

[@christiancage88]

Now we can pick Henderson or Miller like a franchise player.

[@k3n12ock]

Zo & Grand MaMa was a problem back in the days!

[@hoodiestimbs2783]

I'm sure there are some Zo highlights missing

[@emilianoyaboi5911]

no just Jamal air nuts retro 3

[@master-kq3nw]

number 9 is the best play, longest shot ever

[@ManSC21]

Sweet :-)

[@eddieg860]

They could've shown more of Zo tho, he has tons of highlights

[@jan279]

Why have the Hornets not retired their jerseys yet?

[@scooterwearssocks]

They retired Bobby Phil 's jersey last year because he died in 2000 remember?

[@jan279]

+DolphinLuv5641 YT I know that. What I'm talking about is why haven't they retired the jerseys of Zo, Muggsy, Grandmama, Glen Rice and Steph Curry's dad Dell? They all deserve to have their jerseys retired by the Charlotte Hornets.

[@scooterwearssocks]

+jan279 good point

[@camemerson5675]

jan279 they usually do it if a player was there for 10 years or died while playing for them

[@ch.illmatic]

Cameron Emerson muggsy was with charlotte for ten seasons

[@rafasmalidis5343]

The 8 was the best!!!!

[@bossswag3996]

baron davis is unstopabble

[@teesaifele9391]

Bruh if only they had one finals championship 😥

[@DamnMixes]

Type in "Larry Johnson the power of 90s" for more 90s hornets action

[@kieronwindless7014]

Old days

[@MarcSpectorTV]

The only "old school" Charlotte Hornets I remember is playing EA Sports 2003 as Center Center and Point Guard LOL

[@MasenkOG]

That was the bobcats on live 2004 lol I remember that

[@westsidewhiskers]

jeez some of the posters tho...

[@richardtallent787]

if they didn't play in an era with Jordan they would have won the title

[@sdbck]

I love me some Grandmama

[@roberthinson6581]

Sometimes you have to wonder why that team didn't win more? Yes LJ and Zo were young, but still

[@Aerochalklate]

2:45 Something is wrong with his axe spray. lol

[@Loris71734]

Number 8 should've been way the hell higher,.

[@stopgettingtriggered]

1:57 was that travel?

[@umutamac]

What was the imporance of #1?

[@adamwilson2002]

Umut Alptekin the hornets won their first ever playoff series with that win. Plus it was a playoff win. Very important

[@137907089]

R.I.P Eddie Griffin

[@slay-p2m]

Baron davis always will BE the best.but were is jamal mashburn??

[@bushmastersavimbi3379]

Probably wasn't flashy enough to make these highlights but a top 10 hornet of all time

[@DeTAYL.]

LJ!!!!

[@tyrellcheeseboro1326]

they should were those uniforms now
