How? Last season he was statistically a top 15-20 player and a top 5 PG. This season, those same statistics show he's improved. Also he was third in votes, players and media votes got him the starting spot. 

YeeeOOOWWW!!!

 

28-7 in last 9 mins tonight...

Hornets have basically done to Kemba what the Panthers have done with Cam for most of his career.. surrounded him with average players

 

Who has done a worse job of managing their team, Hornets or Panthers

Hornets... Michael Jordan has kept the Hornets in perpetual mediocrity.

that just shows how bad the east is compared to the west.

Not true. The East actually has more legit teams who could contend than the West this year. It's just the West has the best team. Plus Kemba is one of the top PGs in the league hence the starter vote.

Well, its hard for a small market NBA team to do anything.  Nobody wants to come to Charlotte, and only two or three college players in the draft each year become stars.  I still say we were screwed out of Anthony Davis.

Winning cures all. I wouldn't call the Spurs a "big market" team but they land good players all the time.

True, but I imagine that time is running down.  Most of the their championships have come on the backs of David Robinson and Tim Duncan.

I would have to somewhat disagree. Their 2014 finals run was on the back of the MVP Kawhi Leonard. By that time Tim Duncan was broken down and not the same player. I will say the foundation of their success for the past 2 decades has been Tim Duncan but they are still loading up.

 I think the market thing is horse poo. Always has been. Golden State was a trash team for years. What happened? Drafted Steph, Klay, and Draymond...................

The Bulls were absolute garbage before they got MJ, what happened?

San Antonio was meh for years. Draft Duncan to pair with Robinson, get TP and Manu. 5 Titles later.........

Knicks are a bigger market and have been completely useless since Ewing left.

Celtics were trash for years before the Big 3 arrived, then after they left have taken years to become competitive again.

Lakers have been garbage two years before Kobe retired, and have been garbage since he left. 

What it comes down to is being able to Draft properly. The Nuggets & Bucks are both Top 2 in their Conferences respectively. Because they Drafted well.

Sixers are another example of a team that took forever to become good-great. 

Hornets haven't Drafted well, simple as that. Blame this all on MJ and Cho. Frank Kaminsky? I mean, really? MKG over Beal? The list goes on and on. 

Tanking works, and it's the only way to get better in this League. Problem is, we didn't have to tank, if we just Drafted smartly. Even getting Booker would've had us as one of the better teams in the East. But nope, we have Frank fuging Kaminsky.
