[Highlight] Moussa Diabate drains his first triple of the season, gets the steal on the other end, then slams down the dagger to secure the 4th straight win for the Hornets!
Hes my fav player of all time and it is just a joy to see him grow like this. Thank you for waiving him Clippers!
im so happy for him 🥹
Me too man. Love your art!
What else could we do when he was standing in the way of giving more playing time to World Cup Champion Daniel Theis?
At least Ty Lue is giving YKN minutes. Hope he works out for you guys.
Did you miss the Bismack Biyambo era
unironically, Bismack Biyombo wishes he was Moussa Diabate
Biz was cool! Moussa is Ultra-Biz
Biz ultra instinct
Bismack is unironically one of my favorite NBA players ever, I love that dude
I remember reading a story about how when he got his first check, people saw him taking a homeless man out of the cold and buying him a steak dinner. Ive loved him ever since.
We love him in Toronto also!
TIL Biz is on the Spurs
Thanks Hornets for waiving Batum and also trading us SGA.
why are you thanking us for sga? you traded him/he didn’t do anything for y’all
Fuck batum we’d give him to yall for free. Diabaté is absolutely superior to anything batum has ever done on the court.
aight chill Batum’s first year here was actually great… that’s how he got paid. immediately mailed it in though
I know he was, I remember that very well which is why he’s also so hated.
But the things Diabaté is doing this year on the boards taking on the entire other team by himself along with the improved offensive ability and his very good defense put him on the same level as batums best year here.
I know Batum fucked you guys over, but Diabate is not remotely close to prime Batum lmao
Hornets Batum tho….
Right which is why I recognized that Batum fucked over Charlotte. But my point still stands
Yeah I’m not disagreeing with you - I really hate that mf. He got the bag in Charlotte and was complete ass.
I’ve seen all of Batum’s career, and haven’t seen anything remotely close to “prime.”
14/6/5 with 2 stocks on 42/37/85 splits on 6 3PA a game with very good to elite, switchable defense?
His prime was basically a Swiss Army knife player with high IQ and great defense. There’s a reason the Hornets threw the bag at him.
Lol you don’t get the pull the SGA trade on us man. You can keep Batum tho
Ive never seen the vibes be so high around the Hornets, its great to see.
we got awfully close in 2022 before that nightmare offseason
You know what happened to the last guy the clippers gave up on too early…
Spooky even
There was that time in 09. Also the 90s were cool for a second.
Id really like to see them actually compete, I just feel like in 2 months they’ll all be injured because that’s how its been for them.
Don’t you put that curse on us Ricky Bobby
I feel like the curse was put on you a long time ago, im just observing it.
Let me get more slow motion clips of LaMelo and Moose vibing
Fucking love Eric Collins. Also holy shit that’s a ton of rebounds as well.
Maybe the single loosest Moose I’ve had the pleasure of laying eyes on
the moose is loose
I have been waiting on this highlight, you’re a real one for this
The Moose is loose! 🫎
Man I hope they can keep this chemistry. Seems like they’re all having a blast
I knew the chemistry was locked in when the whole roster sat courtside for a SL game, including Collin Sexton who had been on the team for like a week, Josh Green fresh from surgery in a sling, and Tre Mann who I think was still a UFA at that point lmao.
The Hornets are about to make the ECF before Joel Embiid 🙏
Would be our first one lol
Goddamn that is wild to think about. We are good ass fans
Hornets and the Pelicans are the only 2 teams in the NBA to never make a conference finals, iirc. The Clippers were also part of that list before making it for the first time in 2021.
That’s hilarious considering the Pelicans are the former Hornets
I love this team. They win the immaculate vibes award for the 2025-2026 season.
Not gonna lie, his first 25 games I was underwhelmed. Since he’s been starting it’s been a wild change
Hes been good the entire season but hes been legitimately incredible impact wise since starting
Goes to show the value of guys who can get deflections and rebounds. It was a few weeks or even months ago now but Eric Collins at one point said Diabate led the league in deflected balls (including offensive tipouts as well) Need a guy who can muck the game up for you like that.
Now that is a Moose that could be reasonably be described as loose
also had 21 rebounds
nice finishing touch to an amazing game
Hornets put BTA on the Sixers, Monday.
The tour continues.
Damn hornets are so good this season
It’s only right that Charlotte has a Moose to cheer on 🥹 moooooooosee
Diabaté !
AAOOWWWWW YEESSSS
Absolute menace on the offensive glass whenever I watch him play.
I hope he starts making more of them, so he can finally let Hawks players get easy rebounds lol
I LOVE THIS GUY SO MUCH
Such a fun player to watch and his energy grabbing rebounds may be the best in the league. He’s my bias vote for MIP, easily
It’s unfortunate that he won’t get attention for MIP. The award usually goes to players who make large scoring leaps.
To anyone who watched the Hornets last year you can tell that he has improved a lot, but the basic box score stats don’t really show his impact.
What a confidence booster!The MOOSE is LOOSE!
THREEabate
The team is healthy for the first time in ages, we’ve seemingly figured out a solid rotation, and the energy is high? This is so cool to see
The Hornets are on fire with their 2nd round drafting.
No wonder they stockpiled so many 2nd round picks.
Moooooosee 🫎
Hustle king!!
Dont look now but the Hornets are one of the best young teams in basketball!!!
I love Tidjanes response to Diabate’s 3. He is befuddled 🤣
WHO IS THIS TEAM?? It actually starting to look bright in Charlotte I never felt that once before.
Eric corrected himself a bit later, Moose is actually 2⁄2 this year with that as the 2nd three-pointer
When did he shoot the other? Legit do not recall him ever doing it
From Biyombo Oh My Goodness to this. Hornets winning it all, man
Forgot to mention he was dancing as well right before the steal
i want to root for the hornets so badly but fuck miles bridges i wish nothing but the worst for him
Yeah most of us would like him gone as well. Even with being a bad human, he’s a low iq player that does 2 things wrong for every 1 thing he does right.
