A True Hornets Original

ESPN’s Shams Charania broke the news on Tuesday, confirming what many Charlotte fans have been hoping for. Bogues was a former point guard who didn’t just play for the Hornets, he helped define them, battling giants every night and making history as an undersized star. His impact on the court for Charlotte was undeniable. He remains their franchise leader in assists, steals, and minutes played. That’s a triple crown of statistical dominance for a guy who defied every expectation.

This jersey retirement on February 11 is going to be a huge moment for Charlotte, celebrating a player who truly earned his place in the record books and in the hearts of fans.
