The 10th Anniversary EXTRAVAGANZA!! | Top 10 Show BITS | Top 10 WILLIAMS'

Locked On Hornets is celebrating a massive milestone—the show’s 10th anniversary—by doing exactly what has kept fans tuning in for a decade: telling stories, sharing laughter, and honoring Hornets history in its own unique way. Walker Mehl and Doug Branson relive the unexpected longevity of the podcast, paying tribute to top fan-favorite moments and iconic inside jokes, from the birth of the “Sickos” moniker and chaotic lounge intros to ubiquitous bits like “Game Time” and infamous unfulfilled promises. In this party episode, the hosts count down a tongue-in-cheek Top 10 of the best moments—plus just as many honorable mentions—and challenge each other with running gags and classic nostalgia. Meanwhile, Doug Branson delivers a definitive ranking of every player named “Williams” to ever suit up for the Hornets or Bobcats, with surprises, anecdotes from franchise deep cuts, and throwbacks to both legendary and forgotten stints in Charlotte. This episode also shines a light on the colorful contributions of past co-hosts, celebrates the origins of bits that became part of LOH lore, and highlights what truly makes the fan community—especially the Sickos—so resilient and special. From discussing wild advertising found while researching former players to reminiscing about celebrations, hair transformations, and legendary on-air draft takes, the hosts remind listeners why Charlotte Hornets fans are a unique breed. Pour a drink at the Low Bar and join the celebration—this is one episode every Hornets fan, new or old, can't miss.
