Hornets unveil giant, hive-like scoreboard

The Charlotte Hornets unveiled their brand new scoreboard Friday, and it's a bee-auty.

The recently renamed Spectrum Center now boasts one of the largest and highest-resolution scoreboards in the NBA above center court.

The screen is 180 percent larger along the sidelines and 50 percent bigger along the baseline compared to the previous model.

It's made up entirely of HD electronic LED panels and features a hive-like cell pattern at the base that can change color.

Charlotte was originally slated to host the 2017 All-Star Game, and this is one of the arena upgrades that helped it land the event. Due to a state law that the NBA deemed discriminatory, however, the festivities have been moved to New Orleans.
