The legendary Charlotte Hornets announcer Steve Martin joins me to talk about Charlotte’s off-season moves, the outlook on the team’s future and to share his favorite Hornets memories from the past:

The change of him going from television to radio next season;

The Nicolas Batum for Gerald Henderson and Noah Vonleh trade;

What a bargain Michael Kidd-Gilchrist‘s extension is and how great his and Kemba Walker‘s work ethic is;

How the new additions to the team have bought in and have showed up at the involuntary practices;

Coach Steve Clifford’s impact and him visiting all of the players during the summer;

His memories of Gerald Henderson addressing the fans on the last game of the 7-59 season;

Traveling with the team now and back in the 1980s;

His favorite Hornets team being the 1992-93 team, their first-round series against Boston;

The expansion 1988-89 Hornets and their win against the Chicago Bulls;

NBA League Pass adding the option of being able to choose radio broadcasters next season.
