- Description
- George Shinn, who conceived the Charlotte Hornets and brought the NBA to Charlotte, remains a busy man at age 81. Shinn was the Hornets’ original owner and — because of Charlotte’s great attendance and merchandising success, also indirectly had a hand in the NFL deciding the Queen City was worthy of a pro football franchise. The young boy from Kannapolis who finished dead last in his high school graduating class found his pro sports opportunity in the late 1980s and capitalized on it, although he now is out of the ownership business.
In Charlotte, Shinn was complicated. Controversial. Charismatic. While the Hornets are here largely because of him, they also left the city for a time, largely because people lost confidence in him. That happened when Shinn was sued for sexual assault. His trial was nationally televised in 1999. A jury acquitted Shinn, but on the witness stand the devout Christian had to admit to questionable behavior — including two sexual rela...

- Description
- Tyler Hansbrough needs no introduction to UNC fans. Hansbrough finished his UNC basketball career in 2009 with a national championship and as both the Tar Heels' and the ACC's all-time leading scorer, with 2872 points. Hansbrough then played seven years in the NBA and for three years after that in China.
Now, at age 37, Hansbrough is figuring out what comes next in a life that was so devoted to basketball for so long. Renowned for his relentless determination as a player, Hansbrough is also famous among UNC fans for going 4-0 as a player at Duke’s Cameron Indoor Stadium. His No.50 jersey hangs in the rafters at the Smith Center.
In our "Sports Legends" interview, talks about his favorite win at UNC (which wasn't the national title game) and his new sports passion, which gets him more nervous than basketball ever did. He also discusses the "cheap shot" Gerald Henderson directed at him in an unforgettable UNC-Duke game, being in China when the C...

- Description
- Cedric Maxwell, the second interview subject for the 2023 season of “Sports Legends of the Carolinas,” was an All-American big man who led the 49ers to the 1977 Final Four. That remains the school’s only Final Four appearance, and Charlotte might have won it all that year but for a controversial non-call at the buzzer against Marquette. In Maxwell’s four years at Charlotte, the 49ers had a remarkable 58-0 home record.
After his star turn in March Madness, Maxwell became a first-round NBA draft pick with the Boston Celtics. Teaming with players like Larry Bird and Kevin McHale, Maxwell was an essential player on Boston teams that won NBA championships in both 1981 and 1984. He was the NBA Finals MVP in 1981, and the Celtics retired his jersey number in 2003.
Now 67, Maxwell serves as the radio analyst for the Celtics, but maintains deep ties to the Charlotte area and lives in the Queen City during the summer.
