AI was arguably more popular than Kobe at one point. Kobe didn't pass AI in popularity until about the mid 2000's.

 

I grew up in that era and Iverson was definitely the most popular player at least around my area. Most kids at school would have an Iverson jersey. 

Yup.  I was an MJ and AI guy my whole life.  Spent tons of money on their gear, shoes, merch, etc.

Until I lived in Charlotte and “met” both personally.  👎🏽 Not good to fans at all, IMO.  Both of them.  Pretty weak.

Yeah I think AI lives in Charlotte. He was at the game vs Philly the other night.

 

Sucks that he was mean to you.

He def lives in Charlotte.  He wasn’t mean exactly, he just doesn’t allow fans to even acknowledge him like the good ones do.  Like don’t even look at me bro.  Same with MJ.

I knew MJ was a jerk. Dude doesn't even have social media. He thinks he's above everyone.

Down 6, Up 7, Down 9 in five game minutes.

Hornets go on a 24-7 run with our stars lighting it up, Clips immediately follow with a 17-4 run.

We had Miles and Rozier both on the bench during that run while PG13, Harden, and Westbrook were all playing.

Steve Clifford WHAT?

That’s basically every Hornets game I watch. They’re all the same. They go down by 10-15, battle back to make it a one possession game, lose by 10. It’s beyond frustrating.

Seriously, what else does Clifford need to do to show he is not it?  We need a new coach to go with the new ownership, are they too scared to do anything?

Allen Iverson.

I was beyond surprised as well, but that was straight from their mouths.

AI was a beast.  One of my favorites as well, but it’s hard to fathom THOSE DUDES idolized Iverson over MJ or Kobe. 

Allen Iverson was great no doubt.  I could see it

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
