With the beginning of the 2015-2016 NBA season just around the corner, there have been quite a few changes to the Charlotte Hornets roster. With that being said, we figured now was the best time to ask the fans “who is our best player?”.
Cast your vote below and we will share the results after this weekend!
Joe Shomaker is young at only 16 but he is one of the most talented editors we have come across in our years of doing this. So naturally when he approached us we had to scoop him up and throw him on the Bring Back the Buzz Blog Team. We just hope the young Padawan takes his talent… not to South Beach BUT to college and we can some day bee blessed to see his work being used by either the Panthers or Hornets!
Here is some of his work for Bring Back the Buzz…
My name is Joe Shomaker and I am a graphic artist for Bring Back The Buzz. I’ve been working with Photoshop for a year and a half and I’m glad to be a part of the page! I am from Northern Virginia but I am a die hard Hornets and Panthers fan!

GO HORNETS & PANTHERS!
In 2010, the Charlotte Hornets brand created nearly $1M in free advertising value. Not bad for a team that had been gone for nearly a decade.
The Charlotte Observer asks readers in a new poll what nickname they favor for Charlotte’s NBA team. You know what to do. ‘Hornets’ has received 87 percent of the vote at the time of this posting.
Charlotte Observer sports columnist Tom Sorenson finally realized that the Bobcats brand in Charlotte was going nowhere and expressed his support for a name change in a blog post yesterday. Less than two months ago, he indicated his skepticism about a name change, saying that the Charlotte franchise should invest more in winning than rebranding. But for the NBA to succeed in Charlotte, it needs to do both.
To Tom’s credit, he did say that he respected the grassroots effort and is very responsive to fans’ emails. I would like to think that we persuaded him. Better late than never, welcome aboard Tom!
Even the national media has noticed that something is stirring in Charlotte. Patrick Dorsey of ESPN’s Page 2 interviews John, Scotty and Evan from the local movement and explains why Charlotte fans are abuzz about the Hornets.
Tonight’s the big night! So pumped to meet all of you. If you haven’t bought your tickets to tonight’s game, you can still purchase them here. Click here for the Facebook Event Page.
The momentum keeps building and the Bobcats won’t be able to ignore us for much longer.
WTVI’s ‘282’ program interviews our very own John Morgan. You can watch at 6:30/11 tonight on WTVI (Channel 42).
