Point guard Brevin Knight was with the Bobcats in the early days of the franchise and he was one of the few reasons to come out and watch the team.  He played in 180 games (153 starts) in his first three years with the Bobcats and he averaged 30.9 minutes, 10.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, 8.3 assists and 2.0 steals per game.  Despite only playing three years for the Bobcats, Knight’s name is all over the team’s record books.  Knight is #9 in games played (180) in Bobcats’ history.  He is also #10 in rebounds (508), #2 in assists (1,497), #3 in steals (355) and #10 in points (1,945) in Bobcats’  history.  As time goes by, Knight’s name might fall out of the team’s record books, but he made his mark in team history.

Although the team moved to New Orleans, Bobby Phills never played there. He died in a car accidend on January 12th, 2000 at the age of 30. His #13 was the first number retired in Hornets’ history and it’s just a shame that it wasn’t for what he did on the court. Phills had to work for everything he got as he was the 12th man for the Cleveland Cavaliers for quite a while before getting a chance to really show what he could do. He played in 133 games (113 starts) in his three years in Charlotte and he averaged 32.2 minutes, 12.3 points, 3.5 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.4 steals per game. This was a sad day in Charlotte Sports History when Bobby Phills died and hopefully NBA players have learned a lesson from it.
