Sports Hall of Fame or Orthopedic Practice? Can’t tell.

I recently got a quick tour of OrthoCarolina’s Sports Medicine Center, located in Charlotte on Randolph Road. The hallways are insane. Feels like you’re in a sports memorabilia shop. The marketing message is clear – if the practice is good enough for the world’s top athletes, it’s good enough for a weekend golfer and light jogger like me.

Let’s take a look, cribs-style, and then deep dive into 6 cool things I found hanging in the hallways.

6 cool things I found hanging in the hallways:

(1) Stephen Curry signed photo. Love that he went to Davidson and love that people have always underestimated him.

(2) Helmets and logos of local college and pro teams that have selected OrthoCarolina as their team physicians.

(3) Justine Kish signed photo. Love that she could beat you up. And me. She’s a 26 year old, mixed martial arts specialist.

(4) Bulletin board of local athletes with signed photos or personal notes.

(5) Jimmie Johnson and Tony Stewart’s racing suits.

(6) Steve Smith signed photo. Hometown legend.
