[Highlight] Kon Knueppel hits his rookie record breaking 207th three against the Pacers!
All Hail King Kon!
And bend the mf knee cause we’re fucking up someone’s playoff run
King Kon Knueppel! We should find a way to shorten this.
Easy. what about KK…oh wait
Gotta be Cleveland or NY
Please don’t.
Would love it to be the Celtics but I’d take the Knicks.
I hope it’s the Pistons
Yeah, fuck them. That’s who I’m hoping we get.
Hell yeah I want this first round matchup so badly
Lake Michigan on three
charlotte will have to come out of the play-in which means facing a top 2 seed, so either detroit or boston most likely
There’s still 1.5 months of basketball left to play for him to push the record even farther
Hornets have 22 games left. He’s knocking down 3.5 per game this season. If he stays healthy and hot (pause lol), he might fuck around n get to 300
That’s fucking wild.
Facts. Cant say I’ve seen enough Hornets games to comment on his defense, but on offense this dude is essentially a Klay Thompson clone lol
He’s a lot better of a defender than people give him credit for. He’s definitely flawed on that end, but he puts in the effort and plays smart team defense. Don’t think he’ll ever be elite on that end, but if he ends up being a passable overall defender while continuing to grow offensively…yeah I’d be fucking ecstatic.
I have to admit I didnt think his game would translate this fast. He seemed to at Duke have a very hard time with his handle and particularly when driving to the lane. Thought he would be forced off his shot. I disnt take into consideration how the coaching staff would utilize his skillsets to hide deficiencies. I am so glad I was wrong. I would like to give credit to the coaching staff too on this year’s formation. All hail King Kon!
You gotta watch more, he is way more complete than Klay ever was. He’s shooting nearly 50/40/90, has a beautiful game inside the arc as well, and is a phenomenal playmaker. His ceiling is way higher than Klay. He’s got that same power Carmelo Anthony does where he can get his bucket anywhere within 30 feet of the basket.
Is this Klay Thompson erasure?
No it’s Kon Knuepple glaze, but I can easily see how it’s construed that way
I like the honesty!
Im definitely gonna start tuning in, especially since you guys might have something brewing over there. Given how he’s playing right now, I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if he ended up being better than Melo, and sooner rather than later.
Good to see u guys are playing better, I know these past few years were prolly brutal to watch. Don’t think you guys are ready to actually contend just yet, but a few more pieces and experience and yall are going to be a tough out for anyone in the postseason at the very least
That’s another thing you’ll notice by watching us, Lamelo’s counting stats are down but he currently is tied with Jokic for highest Offensive +/- in the whole league and it shows during the games. Lamelo is a generational passing talent (please god keep him away from a steering wheel though) and really enables this whole team. Watch our minutes with no Lamelo and you’ll see the difference. Kon has some of that playmaking but nowhere near to the extent that Lamelo does.
Yea I def gotta tune in more. Melo has always been one hell of a playmaker that’s for sure. I just always got that “unserious” vibe from him given some of the things I saw in clips, as well as your guys’ record in previous years. But if he’s playing well, that core of Kon, Lamelo, and Brandon Miller is going to be DANGEROUS very soon.
Definitely need to keep him off the roads too smh lol
Lamelo’s never been unserious, just plagued by injuries and surrounded by G-leaguers because MJ sucked balls at drafting. I’ve seen lineups with Lamelo that legitimately look like dudes they found walking into Spectrum Center THAT NIGHT that they signed to a 10 day contract lol. We’re finally a fun team I can guarantee that much for sure. We’re definitely a year or two out but we’ve turned a corner for sure
Yea I feel that. Good luck to yall the rest of the season bro. Hope yall can make some noise this year
To say his ceiling is way higher than one of the best players of the past 20 years is a stretch to say the least.
Consider me limber (or delusional) then because I’m standing on it. Kon will be better than Klay.
Klay was a pretty lockdown defender in his prime though
It’d be cool to see him get 300, feel like it would be a damn near untouchable record.
Yea that would be tough. Its unfortunate because I think he’s putting up a very serious case for ROY but I think Coop is gonna get it on some Melo/Bron type shit smh. Yall got a real one though, that’s for sure.
I was looking at the all-time leaders and if keeps his season or YTD paces (280-285 3PM), he’ll be somewhere in the top 20 all time. Crazy.
Damn. That makes it even more impressive
Why r the commentators not hyping this up lol
Surely the Hornets commentators did
Eric Collins: “AHHHFABKGCGGAAGHXSS!!!”
Dude deserves an induction into the HOF right next to Kevin Harlan and Mike Breen lol
I JUST CAME IN MY PANTS. WHAT A JUMPSHOT
https://youtu.be/tSjfSMU-Kqw?si=XshDghOHNgCLgjsU
I love that man
They always do lol.
Those are not the Hornets commentators
I’m watching the Hornets feed and they are howling
Feeds have to balance each other out
Steph, come home and join the Splash Familia where you belong
No thanks don’t want to turn him into a convict
Just sunk another one too two!
Anotha one
I don’t want to hear anything about “co rookie of the year”
Man has really surprised me this season.
I thought he’d be a great role player at best due to his lack of self creation, but his insanely elite shooting makes him similar to Klay offensively.
It’s amazing to see the Hornets thrive now with their teM healthy.
He can also create a little too
A lot of people don’t realize how good he is at using the threat of shooting to create drives. Midrange game is nasty too.
He needs so little seperation to be deadly that even middling self creation will be productive
Pretty prettyyy good
Lisan Al Gaib of North Carolina
Kon “Muad’Dib” Kneuppel
It was nice having Keegan Murray hold the record for 3 seconds
#Horn3ts
Hornets got a stud
Aight, Dylan Harper is gonna be a star but can you imagine Wemby, Fox, & Castle having this guy creating space for them. Terrifying alternate reality.
He’s too good. Hornets got their future
I’m starting to think this guy is a really good at basketball.
Kon “Ser Duncan the Tall” Knueppel
Kon is special man
Yessir! Keep building on it and make the record untouchable
Kon, the way he looks, reminds me of the rich kid who was cool and friendly and his family was cool and friendly but they were also heavy alcoholics while Kon himself not being an alcoholic. I say this with much experience with that type of family, not to put him down. He just reminds me of my cousin.
Not posting EC highlights that include the Hornets should be taken down lol. Go Kon
Man he has been going crazy. We are in a fun time for the next 5-10 years.
He is so good! What a nice surprise from this rookie class. I have enjoyed watching dude ball.
Spurs and 76ERs fumbled by not drafting Kon. LMAO
Needed the Eric Collins and Dell Curry cast for this Historic moment
Most players hit the rookie wall but Kon is just shooting over it.
Why didn’t anyone ever think to do this? Is everyone else stupid?
