So I’m on my way to work, and I hear an unidentified Hornet on an Eric Hill Nissan radio spot. I’m like, “Oh, word. Another sketchy local ad featuring a Hornet! You know you’ve really made it when you get your own sketchy local ad.”
I missed the beginning of the ad, so here I am trying to figure out which Hornet player it was. I know it’s not CP3, West, Stojakovic, Peterson, or Chandler, because I know what they sound like. I know it’s not Pargo because he mumbles. I think, “What other Hornet is well-known enough to be in the Nissan ad, but at the same time not too cool to be in the Nissan ad?” I wonder to myself, “Julian Wright?”
On the drive home, I hear the same ad again from the beginning, and sure enough it’s Julian Wright.
Looking back, I should have known only the rookie is gonna have a Nissan.
So we’ve got JuJu in the Nissan ad, Mo Pete in the hilarious Morris Bart commercial (where he might be made of cardboard and the ball flies into the basket from the totally wrong angle), and CP in the A-1 Appliance ad (taking over from Reggie Bush). Are there any other Hornets in local ads that I haven’t seen/heard?
Peja has an ad on the radio, 95.7 I think. He says something like, “Hi, this is Peja Stojakovic, and when I’m not hitting three-pointers, I’m rocking out to 95.7.”
Aw yeah. Watch for Peja to grow his hair long so he can mosh better.
I haven’t heard that! Haha.

Mavs better be careful. The Rockets got flat-out embarrassed after making comments about David West. The Hornets don’t usually take well to that.
I love the Hornets because the name aptly describes the whole ’social wasp’ mentality.
Im pretty positive that Melvin Ely is actually being sold a car in a Nissan TV ad. Maybe Im imagining things, but maybe not.
