NBA: All-Time Starting 5 of the Charlotte Hornets

Forward – Glen Rice

Glen Rice

One of the best scorers in NBA history, Glen Rice was an unstoppable force during his three-year tenure in Charlotte. Rice was acquired from the Miami Heat in the Alonzo Mourning deal and he quickly made an impact for the Hornets. His three All-Star game appearances all happened during his time with the Hornets, winning the All-Star game MVP in 1997.

Rice led the Hornets to two playoff appearances, reaching the second round in 1998. If only the franchise was not in chaos after his third season, Rice could have finished his career in Charlotte. He sits fifth in scoring and third in three-point shots made.

Honorable Mention: Forward – Gerald Wallace

The first All-Star of the Bobcats Era, Gerald Wallace had the best years of his career in Charlotte. Wallace arrived in Charlotte via the Expansion Draft and became an All-Star in 2010 but his best year came in 2008 when he averaged 19.4 points, 6.0 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 2.1 steals per game. He ranks third in points, third in rebounds, and fourth in minutes played in the Hornets' all-time leaderboards.
