Three for three. Glen Rice played three seasons with the Charlotte Hornets, and in every NBA campaign he was named to the All-Star Game, the second of which saw him win the game's MVP and cement himself as a must-watch player. Rice would also go “three for three,” averaging over 20 Points per Game as a Hornet, including 26.8 PPG in the 2006-07 campaign, a season in which he also led the National Basketball Association in three-point percentage.

He would later be traded to the Los Angeles Lakers and would help them win a title, but it was as a Hornet where he played his best professional basketball.
