Always forget that Game 1 was Reggie Lewis' last game before his death. His collapse was scary. Sad stuff.

That game sucked and made the series quite somber even though the Hornets got the win.

I used to have a Sports card shop at a flea mall and guys were wanting Reggie Lewis bball cards bc they thought they would be more valuable bc he died...it was sickening since I loved Reggie Lewis.

I refused to sell them for a few days.

I used to record most every Hornet game and key matchups on TNT...i had about 40-50 vhs tapes of Basketball games.

When I moved into my house 4 years ago I found all these VHS tapes and watched hours of Anfernee Hardaway destroying people in Hawaii...UNLV vs Todd Day and Arkansas....Grant Hill owning Glen Robinson in the NCAA tourney...the Hornets series...a bunch or old Golden State with Tim Hardaway at his most explosive...I was BBall obsessed.

Those games show how night and day college BBall was when you could identify each school by their players for at least three years.

Most satisfying game was Kansas vs UNC where Rick Fox missed open layups(point shaving?!) and let a hairy armpit Mark Randall, Adonis Jordan and Rex Walters beat that mega-team in the final 4.

I actually thought UNC was the better team to match up with UNLV....nope it was DUKE taking care of the goliaths.

I have game 3 of this series on VHS. At least I think it is game 3. I will have to find it, but it is the game Dell Curry went off for 27 points in the Hive.

I swear I tried to model my game exactly like Dell Curry's.  I even incorporated the pump fake step through leaner for three, much to my coaches chagrin.

 

This team has 4 of my all time favorite players

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      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.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      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.
