One-time Charlotte players in our GOAT list:
60. Robert Parish (played in Charlotte at age 41)
63. Dwight Howard (age 32)
69. Tony Parker (age 36)
This is one of the most depressing things I’ve tweeted. (They’ve been around 35 seasons already).

More on this storyline
There was another team that Howard was interested in going to so he could give his career a fresh start. “I wanted to beat the Lakers, they had just beat us in the Finals so in my mind I’m like ‘Why would I go to the team that just beat us?’ I wanted to go to Brooklyn and just start my whole career over but I got sent to LA,” Howard said. “It didn’t work out, and I made an emotional decision to leave… I didn’t really make a smart, logical decision, I just made an emotional decision at the time.” -via Clutch Points / August 29, 2024
Dwight Howard: After we won, they started tweaking the roster. I’mma tell you who it was—Rob Pelinka, man. God, Rob, why did you do that to us, man? Rob, come on, man. I still love you, Rob, but dang, man. We had the squad, bro. Even if we ran it back, we could have run it back. We would have been healthier for the next year.” -via YouTube / August 26, 2024
Harper had alleged in the lawsuit that Howard sexually assaulted him at Howard’s home in Georgia on July 19, 2021. In the complaint, Harper also accused Howard of “intentional infliction of emotional distress” and false imprisonment. In a filing in October, Howard denied the allegations and said he engaged in “consensual sexual activity” with Harper. In his response, Howard also said he expressed interest in meeting up with Harper in Atlanta after the two corresponded via text and Instagram beginning in May 2021. Screenshots of the alleged exchanges were included in the complaint. -via New York Times / August 22, 2024
