Revitalizing the Charlotte Hornets in 1994-95 was the return to NBA All-Star form of the team's two < marquee players, Alonzo Mourning and Larry Johnson. Both plagued by injuries in the 1993-94 season, Mourning and Johnson came back to play in the 1995 All-Star Game in Phoenix and also lead the Hornets to the 1995 NBA Playoffs. Mourning in particular, had a super season. The 6-10 center recorded an NBA career-high 1,643 points to go along with team-highs of 761 rebounds, 225 blocked shots and a .519 field goal shooting percentage.

Hornets Coffee Talk Name that player!
Newman's change of scenery from New York to Charlotte seems to have had a healthy effect on his NBA career. Newman posted career bests in virtually every category in 1990/91. Newman's athletic skills and ability to play an up-tempo game fit in perfectly with the Hornets.

Back to the Front! Hornets card back du jour...
Gordon Hayward
With LaMelo Ball, Miles Bridges, Devonte Graham and a few others, the Hornets are overflowing with young talent. Looking to match that with a reliable veteran, they picked up Hayward, who didn't disappoint. In his first season there (2020-21), the All-Star shot 47.3 percent from the field.
