  1. Hornets have had some surprising moments this season and won some big games. They definitely have some potential for the future.

  2. How did these two with 3 other NBA draft picks last year NOT win the NCAA championship? DUKE 😂

  3. Skap not realizing the hornets are the clippers of the east who are finally healthy is peak skap. He has no idea what he is talking about unless its about lebron or kobe.

  4. I did NOT think Kon was going to be this good this fast. I honestly believe that Kon is having a better rookie season than Flagg💯. I know Cooper has a higher ceiling and his athleticism, size, and quickness is much more suited for the NBA then Kon's. However, I cannot gloss over the fact that Kon is much bigger on TV (and compared to his opponents & teammates) than he looks in person, and already is one of the better 3pt shooters in the NBA.

    My cousin's son plays for his mom (former player at UWGB. WI are all from Milwaukee Wl (Wisconsin Lutheran HS)

    MY cousin said Kon will be like Larry Bird which is ridiculous, but he is definitely an NBA player and I think he will be a perennial all-star and 1 of the best shooters in the NBA for a lot of years if he stays healthy. He has high basketball IQ and is already a very good shooter and deadly from 3pt range as a rookie!

  5. Skap, make more content about interestig topics like this, maybe focus more on positives things. I don't like Lebron too, but you are making way too much content about him, which might be the reason your channel is held back. It's viewed as a Lebron hating channel by many.

  6. I hope the future of the league is in good hands. But who can say for sure. There are a LOT of issues with the modern NBA

  7. Cooper hugging Kon at the end was great sportsmanship, these two are going to do great things moving forward. They're still brothers from college basketball years.

  8. I have noticed there is more white NBA players that are more talented and yet the media doesn't talk about them they only talk about one player old ass LeBron who has never been good and needs the most goddamn help.

  9. The Matrix of Competition revealed:

    What we usually call “competition” is actually a full social Matrix.

    Core components:

    Comparison – constant measuring of worth against others

    Scarcity – the belief that value, success, love or recognition are limited

    Ranking systems – scores, titles, KPIs, grades, followers, status

    Conditional worth – value tied to performance

    Fear drivers – fear of falling behind, being invisible, being replaced

    Reward & punishment loops – praise, bonuses, attention, shame, exclusion

    Identity fusion – confusing personal worth with performance outcomes

    Main participants:

    Top performers – rewarded, visible, pressured to maintain position

    Strivers – constantly chasing, comparing, overworking

    Excluded ones – carrying blame for systemic dynamics

    Judges & arbiters – managers, institutions, experts, algorithms

    The audience – observers who normalize and reinforce the game

    The internal enforcer – the inner voice pushing constant optimization

    The matrix survives because it feels normal and socially validated.

    It promises meaning, safety and recognition, while extracting energy, presence and trust.

    Clear naming creates awareness.

    Awareness creates choice.

    Choice opens the road to true and healthy collaboration which We all actually need for a peaceful world.

  10. The hornets are 2 in a half games back from Atlanta with them playing Atlanta twice in February. So make sure you know your fact sir.

  11. I don’t care about this. You need to keep talking smack about LeBron and bronny James.

  12. Man i’m a miami heat fan and i’ll always want a chip for my city but man i’m a fan of low market teams winning like the pelis, hornets, wizards i hope the hornets win a championship in my life time

  13. Imagine if the Spurs drafted for FIT and took Kon Knueppel. He'd be PERFECT for them and they'd be SCARY. It's all hindsight, but honestly I was hoping the Spurs don't pick Harper or trade down for Harper's sake. They got greedy and pretty much just ruined his rookie season. I hope they have a plan to move some players or they just need to move Harper himself. Harper can be a star in a role that fits him. He's shown so many flashes and had amazing games limited only by his minutes.

  14. I watched this last night. What more could NBA fans have asked for from these rookies. This was awesome.
