WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO TO CHANGE IT FELLAS??!?
EVERYTHING coming out of the Hornets training camp seems to be positive: Terry and Gordon’s vet leadership, LaMelo improving defensively, Bridges up to speed, Miller’s IQ and fit, intensity, work ethic, leading by example, etc.
nobody will remember:
- your salary
- how “busy you were”
- how many hours you worked
people will remember:
- Eric Collins
- Ashley ShahAhmadi
- Dell Curry
Year 3: LaMelo Ball and Steph Curry suffer multiple ankle sprains, miss 40+ games, and have surgery (LaMelo possibly) to repair an ankle.
Steph the following 5 seasons:
🏆 2 titles
👑 2 MVPs
⭐️ 4 ASG appearances
✅ 4x appeared in 78+ games
Let’s hope LaMelo follows suit. 🙏
