New Orleans Hornets

The Hornets make their nest in 'The Big Easy' – New Orleans, Louisiana. But landing wasn't easy for a team that spent its first years in Charlotte, NC. In 2005, Hurricane Katrina forced the team to temporarily play in Oklahoma City for two seasons. Back in New Orleans, playing this team has been anything but easy for visiting teams. Today's competitive and diverse Hornets roster reflects the city's rich culture and perseverance.
