Let's go Hornets. Keep pounding as the Panthers would say… 704 where you at?
Hornets play the new style of nba and have the players to match
Hum Diddly Dee indeed
Ppl forget Brandon Miller was out for a whole year then they melo. SMH 😂
Charlotte NBA fans have been treated like GARBAGE since George Shin moved them out of the city to NO. The Hornets enjoyed massive support before this. Next the bobcats were created and they were nothing but garbage their entire existence. Then they got their name back and sucked for another decade, getting screwed in the NBA draft year after year. They even got screwed this past season in what IMO was was a rigged lottery so the NBA golden child Lakers could get Luka… but the Hornets managed to get a miracle pick in Kon Knueppel.
It's tough to like any major US sport these days. They are more invested in politics and profit than they are in integrity of their own sport.
What's most impressive about their run is the defense. No one on this team is exactly known for his defense except may be Diabate, but they have held some really good teams well under their average.
first time watching sports on prime. well done. There's good chemistry and production on the set.
Don't come running now. Yall have been slighting us for decades.lol the way yall switch up is raggedy 😂
Pistons will sweep hornets
Been saying it for years and I’m a laker fan. Charlotte has major potential they just trade all their assets
Hope they maintain this level of basketball and get a breakthrough like what Detroit has now.
We back, baby!
Praise to our forefathers Baron Davis, Kemba Walker, Larry Johnson, Dell Curry, Glen Rice and Alonzo Mourning. 🙏🏻
Not a hornets fan but happy to see them actually winning after all these years. Happy for their fans. Lot's of talent on that team
Taylor 😩🐶🗣️
Blake with the homage to the hornets announcer 🤣🔥 Everyone loves dude lol
I only ever heard of the "winning ball" narrative from Club520
Shout out to the hornets mang; idk about this year, unless they make the playin, but next years fosho looking like a playoff push
Barkley wasright, Kenny and Sahq were laughing but Barkley saw that happening before the whole media starts to make a thing.
It's nice to hear LaMelo get some credit, but people need to be honest about how we got to the "not a winning player" narrative. He's still the same player, he just has a talented team now. Too many people were blaming him for the losses when the talent and roster construction was clearly lacking.
friendship and vibes baby!
Too structured! 5 beautiful black people should never look this up tight & hit every note like they rehearsed. I didn’t say use profanity, I said let them flow & develop because these are really high IQ personalities. They executed this segment flawlessly within the time constraints. Take that off let this clips breath don’t condense segments with this articulate cast they’ll do it themselves. I agree with everyone LaMelo got a team & a coach now. They having discipline fun out there, LaMelo is at least trying to play defense & you don’t have to cover for him as much anymore.
i’m a hornets fan and first time watching this show but really impressed with knowledge/insight from the crew and being respectful… old school media/journalism is a breath of fresh air from the loud arguing garbage that’s covered sports the last 20 years… props
Yes! And now I'm going to watch the video 😉
BARKLEY WAS RIGHT
We coming
They’re gonna lose a few consecutive games at some point. But I think they can now overcome rather than give up. They’ve proven to themselves what they’re capable of by beating some very good teams by large margins. Even this game wasn’t as close as the final score.
Kon was great but how about taking Miller when everyone thought Scoot was a “no-brainer”
I was here when Inside The NBA had 'Charlotte Hornets' on a grave stone. Now I'm here with the media saying they love my team. Crazy times
FCK NBA COACHES ROBBED LAMELO OF BEING AN ALL STAR LAST YEAR WHEN HE WAS 1ST IN FAN VOTING! AND DESERVED IT THIS YEAR TOO!
They have beat top 5 seeds in the west let's goooo
Hornets fans we earned ts of the muscle🥲
Just a few weeks ago the media was saying Lamelo was gonna get traded
I mean it is hoop state🤷🏽♂️🔥🔥🔥
The irony is everywhere: people went from wanting LaMelo traded in December to being "die-hard" Hornets fans today! Meanwhile, Paul George is out here catching drug policy violations after trashing our city. You can't make this stuff up—karma is hilarious.😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
Hottest team? Tf, did they get Kelly Oubre??
Buzz city we here to stay 🐝🩵💜
Let’s keep this win streak going 🕺🛸💞
