There is little consolation — for the players, fans, and everyone involved with the New Orleans Hornets — that this was the most successful season in franchise history. So I’ll take a different path: take consolation in that this won’t be the most successful season for long. With 9 players 30-years old and under, sometimes it’s easy to forget just how young this team actually is. The video above should re-assure Hornets fans that there will be many more seasons like this to come. I was thinking about juxtaposing player quotes with pictures from the season, but I realized that was kind of cheesy (plus it’s a lot of work) So after the jump, check out some pictures I put together from the season. Enjoy and wait till next year.
