“[I’m] very excited about this season,” Hornets legend told Y’all Weekly. “Our core players — Melo, Brandon [Miller], and Miles [Bridges] — are healthy. Also, with the addition of Collin Sexton, Tre Mann being back, and the talented rookie class — oh, we can’t forget about Grant [Williams] coming back some time during the season — so I’m very optimistic. Possibly a carry over from this summer!”
Though you can see him at every Charlotte FC match during the summer, Charlotte superfan Hector Cortes has been going to Hornets games for almost two decades, after moving to Charlotte in 2006.
“I’m super proud and excited about Charlotte FC finishing in 4th place and making the playoffs, and cannot wait to bring the same energy and excitement to the Hive and watch our Hornets on Wednesday,” told Y’all.
“I do plan to get to a few Hornets game, or at least the Crown Club Tealgates,” - better known around Charlotte stadiums as the Carolina Reaper - told Y’all. “I am excited to see where this team ends up, as it looks like from this off-season we’ve definitely made strides in a weak Eastern Conference.”
