Hornets Rookie Knueppel Praises TJ McConnell

Kon Knueppel, the Hornets’ standout rookie and current ROY contender, just gave major props to TJ McConnell, calling him “one of the hardest guys to guard” in the league. Even with big names out there, Knueppel says McConnell’s low center of gravity and crafty mid-range game make him a nightmare matchup. Love seeing young stars like Knueppel give respect where it’s due! #Sports #Basketball #Hornets

Hornets Drama: LaMelo vs Coach Lee?

Buzz City is heating up! After King Melo was benched for the first time since his rookie year, rumors are swirling about a rift with Coach Lee. Kendrick Perkins claims the Hornets must pick a side—either trade LaMelo or move on from Lee. Is this the end of the Ball era in Charlotte, or just smoke? Sound off, Hornets fans: who would you keep? #Sports #Basketball #Hornets

Kon Knueppel just hit 100 career threes in 29 games — fastest ever in NBA history

This isn’t a “rookie record.” This is an NBA history record. Hornets rookie Kon Knueppel knocked down his 100th career three and became the fastest player ever to reach 100 made threes — doing it in just 29 games. The rest of the list: 2.Lauri Markkanen – 41 Games 3.Keegan Murray – 42 Games 4.Luka Doncic – 42 Games 5.Brandon Miller – 43 Games Is this the start of a genuine elite NBA shooter… or are we looking at one of the most insane heater months we’ve ever seen? #NBA #Hornets #KonKnueppel #NBARecords #3PointShooting #RookieSeason #NBADiscussion

Cavs fall to 15–12 after a scoreless OT vs. Hornets — time to hit the panic button?

Cleveland lost 119–111 (OT) to Charlotte and went 0-for-10 in the extra five minutes — 0 points in OT. They’re now 15–12, already 12 losses in 27 games after just 18 losses all last season. Should the front office ring the alarm bells or ride it out until they’re healthy? #NBA #Cavaliers #Hornets #Overtime #DonovanMitchell #DariusGarland #NBATalk

Is Kon Knueppel a new franchise cornerstone?

Hornets 119–111 (OT) Cavs. Rookie Kon Knueppel got 29 points and big buckets late as Charlotte pitched a 5–0 OT shutout. Brandon Miller 25 & 13, Miles Bridges 20–10–6. Knueppel looked fearless and in control. Should the Hornets trade Lamelo and build around him now? #NBA #Hornets #KonKnueppel #Cavaliers #Overtime #RookieWatch #Charlotte

Hornets’ grit stuns Cavs in OT lockdown

What a statement from the Hornets! No LaMelo, no problem—rookie Knueppel just torched Cleveland for 29, and Brandon Miller played like a vet, owning both ends. But that OT? Pure defensive clinic! The Cavs bricked every shot—0-for-10!—while Charlotte clamped down like their playoff lives depended on it. This is the kind of win that forges an identity. Is this the moment the Hive finally turns the corner? Sound off, Buzz City! #Sports #Basketball #Hornets

Hornets snub CP3—right call or missed magic?

No way around it—Buzz City just slammed the door on a Chris Paul homecoming, and honestly, I’m torn. Sure, CP3’s not the Point God of Lob City days, but imagine the veteran savvy he could’ve brought to LaMelo and the young guns! Instead, the front office is all-in on the youth movement, leaving CP3 in limbo. Did Charlotte just pass up a golden chance for leadership, or is this the smart play for the rebuild? Where do you stand on this move? #Sports #Basketball #Hornets

14 Years Ago: The Chris Paul-to-Lakers Trade That Lasted ~2 Hours

On Dec. 8, 2011, a three-team deal between Lakers–Rockets–Hornets had Chris Paul headed to L.A. — until the league vetoed it for “basketball reasons.” Lakers would’ve paired CP3 + Kobe, Rockets were set to get Pau Gasol, and New Orleans would’ve landed a haul of Odom, Scola, Kevin Martin, Dragic plus multiple picks. Hours later, no deal… and CP3 ultimately became a Clipper. How different is NBA history if that trade stands? #NBA #ChrisPaul #Lakers #KobeBryant #Basketball #NBAWhatIf #Rockets #Hornets #Clippers

McNeeley breakout validates Hornets' bold move

McNeeley dropping 13 against Denver while shooting lights out from deep (44% over nine games!) finally shows why Charlotte gave up Mark Williams on draft night. That confident handle and dish to Salaün for the deep three? Pure money. The 29th pick is looking like he belongs in the rotation now, and those high school recruiting rankings are starting to make sense again. Charles Lee's developmental approach is paying dividends big time. Think McNeeley can keep this momentum going or is this just a hot streak? #Sports #Basketball #Hornets

Hornets fans react to LaMelo Ball’s injury

LaMelo Ball’s latest ankle injury has Hornets fans holding their breath, even after a solid win over the Raptors. Losing a star player mid-game is tough, especially when Charlotte’s been hit by injuries all season. The team’s “next man up” attitude is getting tested again, but it’s encouraging to see Brandon Miller back on the court and making an impact after his own injury. With Ball out, who do you think needs to step up most for the Hornets to keep their momentum? Let’s talk about what this means for the rest of the season. #Sports #Basketball #Hornets
