Man, I was digging into the 1998 Charlotte Hornets roster the other day. You know, just for fun. It’s crazy to see how much the NBA has changed since then. First thing I did was hit up that Basketball-Reference site. It’s got all sorts of cool info.
So, I started by looking up the basic roster for the 1997-98 season. I was checking out who was on the team, what positions they played, all that good stuff. It’s like a blast from the past.
The main guys I noticed were David Wesley running the point, Bobby Phills at shooting guard, and Glen Rice at small forward. Those were some big names back then. I also checked out some other resources to see what people were saying about the team at the time.
Next, I went a bit deeper. I wanted to see how these guys actually performed. I’m talking about points, rebounds, assists, steals, all that stuff. And not just the regular season, either, also the playoffs. They had a pretty good record that year – 51 wins and 31 losses. So it’s pretty fun to check. I found that they have some great data and they are easy to understand.
- Who had the highest FG%?
- What about the most threes in a game?
- How did each player do, on average?
I was just poking around, you know? Seeing what kind of cool facts I could find. It’s like being a detective, but for basketball.
Anyway, I thought it was pretty neat to look back at this old Hornets team. It made me appreciate how much the game has evolved. And it was a fun way to kill some time, too!
