Charlotte Hornets is a professional basketball team based in Charlotte, North Carolina. The team was founded in 1988 and played its first season in 1988-89 as the Charlotte Hornets. They played in the Charlotte Coliseum until 2002, when the team relocated to New Orleans and became the New Orleans Hornets.

After the New Orleans team changed its name to Pelicans in 2013, the NBA awarded Charlotte a new expansion team, returning the Hornets name and the team to the city of Charlotte. The team began playing as the Charlotte Hornets in the 2014-15 NBA season and achieved a record of 33-49 during the season.

The team’s primary colors are teal, purple, and white. The team’s logo features a teal and purple hornet with wings spread wide, holding a basketball. The team’s nickname is “Buzz City.”

The Hornets’ home court is the Spectrum Center, located in the heart of Uptown Charlotte. The arena has a seating capacity of just over 19,000 and features state-of-the-art amenities for fans.

Notable players who have played for the Hornets include Larry Johnson, Alonzo Mourning, Muggsy Bogues, Kemba Walker, and Anthony Mason. The team’s current head coach is James Borrego.

The Hornets have participated in the NBA playoffs ten times, including seven times as the Charlotte Hornets and three times as the New Orleans Hornets. However, the team has yet to win an NBA Championship.

As a member of the Southeast Division in the Eastern Conference, the Hornets compete against other notable teams such as the Miami Heat, Atlanta Hawks, and Washington Wizards.

The team continues to represent the city of Charlotte with pride, and fans eagerly anticipate the day when the team brings home a championship title to Buzz City.
