Charlotte Hornets

North Carolina’s third major sports franchise is another obvious choice. I’ve been a fan of this franchise since I was a little kid when they first came into the league as the Bobcats so this would be a dream come true for me. Those Hurricanes themed jerseys would be absolutely beautiful too.

Also, as much as I hate to admit it, the Hornets need all the help they can get right now. They just lost arguably the best player in franchise history, Kemba Walker, during free agency. They’ve also struggled with attendance over the last few years. Last season they ranked 23rd in the league averaging just over 16,000 fans when the Spectrum Center holds over 19,000.

On a more positive note, it would be a sight to see if during halftime if Stormy challenged Hornets owner and greatest NBA player ever, Michael Jordan to a game of horse. As much as I love Stormy, I’d still put my money on Jordan.

But what about more baseball?
