21. Vlade Divac

Vlade Divac was one of the more popular players in the NBA, but for many in Charlotte, this is the guy who was traded for the rights to Kobe Bryant. History now shows that trade being a little lopsided (though let’s be honest, do you really see Kobe playing his entire career in Charlotte?) but history also shows that Divac was a very good player who put up good numbers in every metric.

1. Kemba Walker

The Final Four MVP and NCAA Champion with the University of Connecticut, Kemba Walker has not had the same team success with the Charlotte Hornets but this does not mean that he has not put up very good numbers in the pros.  He certainly did, as he moved up to our number one spot for this franchise.  

The Point Guard is a very good scorer whose overall game has been improving year by year and is one of the more underrated players in the NBA.  While Walker's Hornets teams only made the playoffs twice over his eight years with the team, the fact that they even made two was mostly because of him.  He would be named to the All-Star in his last three seasons in the Queen City and he was a Third Team All-NBA Selection in what was his final season before signing with the Boston Celtics.

11. Baron Davis

Playing the first five seasons of his career as a Hornet (though only the first three in Charlotte, that cost him a few spots on this rank), Baron Davis came out of UCLA as the third overall draft pick and would become an All Star in his third year in the NBA. Davis would blossom into one of the better Point Guards in the NBA in a Charlotte uniform and he would continue that growth when the team relocated to New Orleans.

Brett Favre's number #4 retired tonight.

Thanksgiving is a time of reuniting the family.  That is what is happening in Green Bay, as Brett Favre is returning tonight but not in a Vikings jersey, but there to have his number four retired by the franchise where he became a star.

This is no small honor as while the Packers have the largest Hall of Fame in all of professional sports, this will only be the 6th number retired by the team.  Favre will join Tony Canadeo (#3), Don Hutson (#14), Bart Starr (#15), Ray Nitschke (#66) and Reggie White (#92).  Bart Starr is scheduled to appear at tonight’s festivities.

It was not that long ago that a night like this seemed impossible as Favre left the team acrimoniously and the last time he appeared at Lambeau Field it was in Vikings purple and he was booed on every play.  A lot of healing has taken place on both sides, and in fact, Favre was awarded to the key to the city this afternoon, by the mayor of Green Bay.

Favre would throw 61,655 Yards and 442 TDs for the Packers and would lead them to victory in Super Bowl XXXI and would also win three MVPs.  Favre, who was already inducted into the Packers Hall of Fame this past summer, is expected to enter the Pro Football Hall of Fame next year.  He has already made the semi-finalist list and is ranked #1 on our Notinhalloffame.com list.

We would like to congratulate Brett Favre and the Green Bay Packers as this is an accolade that was meant to be.
