Burrell was picked as the Charlotte Hornets with the 20th selection of the 1993 NBA draft. He scored 4.8 scores per contest in his rookie season. However, Burrell was a star during his sophomore year scoring 11.5 points, and was ranked third in the voting on the NBA Most Improved Player Award. The same year, he was third at the AT&T Long-Distance Shootout. The 1995-96 NBA season however, injuries limited Burrell to 20 games and he was relegated to a support role for the remainder time. Burrell split his 1996-97 season with both the Hornets along with the Golden State Warriors, averaging just 5.9 point per game before being traded by Warriors for the Chicago Bulls for Dickey Simpkins in the autumn of 1997. The Last Dance, a well-loved ten-part documentary on Burrell’s Bulls teammate Michael Jordan, depicts Burrell as the frequent player to be the target of Jordan’s famed outrageously verbal battles.
