The Hornets were founded in 1988 in the city of Charlotte. The team struggled in its first few seasons until 1992 when it put together a team consisting of Alonzo Mourning, Kendall Gill, and Larry Johnson. Although the team had several good seasons, they were unable to make it past the conference semifinals.Move to New Orleans
With Hornets fans becoming discontent and attendance numbers dropping, the Hornets moved to New Orleans before the start of the 2002-03 season. The team would continue to struggle for the first few years in its new home. When Hurricane Katrina hit, The Hornets were forced to relocate to Oklahoma City for the 2005-06 season, as well as the 06-07 season. The Hornets returned to New Orleans in 2007 and captured a #2 seed in the Western Conference Playoffs.
