We are less than 24 hours away from beginning the year of 2019, which brings back some great Charlotte Hornets memories from 2018.
2018 was an interesting year for the Charlotte Hornets. Despite missing the playoffs during the 2017-18 season, they are in the hunt for a playoff spot this season. Hopefully 2019 will treat them better, but there were still some really fun moments in 2018.
While the team does have some hope going into the new year, there are also many questions looming over the franchise. Will this be Kemba Walker‘s last year with the Hornets? Is it rebuild time or do you continue to compete? What is Jeremy Lamb‘s future?
We don’t know the answers to those questions right now. Sometimes thinking about the future can be scary, but there’s no harm in looking back at some of the best Charlotte Hornets memories of 2018.
