Classic Era: Larry Johnson

Larry Johnson was a force in the ’90s — Rookie of the Year, two-time All-Star, and the first real franchise cornerstone for the Charlotte Hornets. His mix of strength, athleticism, and flair made him one of the most popular players of his era. But his partnership with Alonzo Mourning didn’t last. The two young stars clashed in Charlotte, leading to trades that broke up what could’ve been a legendary frontcourt duo. LJ went on to reinvent himself with the Knicks, becoming a gritty veteran presence and delivering one of the most iconic 4-point plays in playoff history. Do you think the Hornets could’ve been contenders if LJ and Zo had stuck it out? #NBA #LarryJohnson #90sBasketball #Knicks #Hornets #AlonzoMourning #ClassicNBA #NBAPartners #NBAWhatIf #Sports
