Due to the hectic nature of the basketball schedule, NBA players often celebrate Thanksgiving in a hotel on the road, or by preparing for the next game with a team practice. Last November, the Hornets actually played a game on Thanksgiving, a national TV contest at Denver.
This year, however, the leagues schedule-maker was much kinder to the Hornets, giving them three days off between Wednesday and Sunday games. For David West one of five Hornets players who handed out Thanksgiving meals to families on the weekend of Nov. 20-21 this Turkey Day marks the first time since he was a junior in high school that he was able to return home to North Carolina for the holiday.
