Charlotte's PR apparently realizing they have nothing to put in the news dug back through their past...we're talking about a player who retired before September 11th and thought now is a good time to honor a former player.

To be fair though, the team has been overwhelmed with their regular and post-season success in recent decades, so the delayed recognition does make sense. Like the DQ you worked at in high school sending you an employee of the month certificate when your 2nd kid graduates from high school.

Sure, but they guy was last playing when Y2K was the major global concern! Taking nothing away from Bogues, it's not his fault, but's an admission of how hard up for a feel good story they are as an org.

He’s a really good feel good story, to be fair.

His name sounds like he’s a 30s gangster, he’s over six inches shorter than I am (I’m a moderately tall but still well within average height woman), and was one of the most capable people in the world at point guarding, somehow.

Oh I'm familiar with him--i watched him andLJ and 'Zo yam JT up. A sibling had the Hornets "Starter Jacket" in the early 90s. They were fun as hell to watch.

It's simply just weird they're just getting around to recognizing him now.Ybe they finally hired someone who understands the importance of legacy with a club and fans.
