First 🥇. Finally LaMelo wearing the braces . I'm seeing good things coming for us 💯.
Yes .
He is a serious player next season. Hopefully no injuries in the near future 🎉🕺🎈💕
Was the French Freak in the video? Didn’t see him.
when was last time current HOR players played in the OLY. (Vasa and Green) even Bmilly really. Im glad HOR got them.
I am a new hornets fan (just recently moved to NC) and was curious if this is the most excited hornets fandom has been in along time? The vibes seem really god recently especially after last season. Love y'all!
Bro, why was both your tone not the same for Gordon Hayward who played way less games and suffered more injuries and was at the time the highest paid player on the team? 🤔
LaMelo practicing in braces gives me hope that he is maturing and/or that communication and accountability have improved with the new staff. The PR around that last season just felt weird on both sides. This makes it feel like everyone is on the same page! Also pretty cool to have an Olympian on the training staff
Dam Doug wish you had that same energy towards Gordon when he was on the team
Same here, I did not get it either "actor".
“Buldge watch” was crazy Walker 😂
Paid actor just means it’s there intentionally, they’re just trying to point it out
Doug, do you really want see Melo posting pictures of his ankle bracelets from the shower?
Bulge watch?
I'm dying 😂
😭 gotta say no diddy after the bulge watch walker that was outta pocket
I will absolutely not be on "bulge watch" lol.
I will not be searching the Hornets for bulges or for the things that support them.
But, glad you guys are on it!
Go Hornets!
As far as the paid actor comment, it really doesn’t make sense in reference to the video released, but I think it was just to draw attention to it even though it looks pretty much the same
Jeff Peterson can get Lamelo to wear ankle braces AND play golf?? Haha can’t wait to see this footage on the next reel access.
Buldge watch is crazy. I support tho 😈
Can confirm that that video caption is a Gen Z meme. Essentially means that the new court makes the video look even better lol
2024 is an exciting year for Charlotte, first time in a long time I'm enjoying watching preseason for NBA and NFL for this city. Feels like good sports overload for us Hornets and Panthers fans.
