This Day in Sports History
January, 26, 1989:
Kurt Rambis, nicknamed “Clark Kent” because of his resemblance to the mild-mannered reporter who turns into Superman, scoops up a loose ball and scores at the buzzer to give the Charlotte Hornets an 89-88 win over the Utah Jazz. Despite ardent local support, the first-year franchise will finish 20-62 in its inaugural campaign.
