Coby White speaks about the Hornets' superb quality "Never been on a team this dangerous"

The Charlotte Hornets have been one of the most impressive teams in the 2025-26 season. For the first half of the campaign, they were struggling as expected, but that changed when the calendar flipped to 2026.

They have been one of the best teams in the NBA over the past few months. It has been a superb run for the Hornets, as they are now firmly in the race for the postseason. LaMelo Ball, Brandon Miller, and Kon Knueppel lead the way for the Hornets, but the quality throughout the team is quite high.

Coby White feels the Hornets are the best team he's played for

Coby White joined at the trade deadline, marking his return to his home state. He also played for the University of North Carolina, so he feels right at home with the Hornets. Before joining the Hornets, he played all of his seasons with the Chicago Bulls, a team that he loved.

However, that team is not close to what the Hornets are doing right now. That is a big deal for the Hornets because in the past, they were also stuck in mediocrity. Considering the Bulls are well outside the postseason spots compared to the Hornets, it seems White is in the right place now.

As one of the most impressive teams of 2026, the Hornets have grown to become one of the NBA's best sides. Most people recognize them now as one of the most exciting teams due to the fast-paced offense Ball runs as the lead guard under head coach Charles Lee. 

Not only are they playing exciting basketball, but they are also getting a lot of blowout wins this season. That is a testament to how good the Hornets have been in the past few months because they are dominating multiple opponents.

"Being on this team this dangerous, I've never been on a team this dangerous. It could be a back-and-forth game, and then you hit one run, and then you look up, and you're up 20, and then you're up 30," White said after the Hornets' latest win against the Kings

The main thing for me is that we're explosive, but we're starting to hold those leads when we do get them and continue to build on them. That's the impressive thing for me, too." 

As the Hornets progress into being a legitimate postseason team, they will be under the spotlight. At the moment, teams are aware they can be strong, but they are not yet locked in as contenders like the Detroit Pistons or the New York Knicks.

With their development over the past few months, it will be tough to beat them. Of course, they are dangerous, but other teams will be well aware of how they play when the pressure is high.
