CHARLOTTE IS ROLLIN' IN THE EAST 🐝🔥

The Fellowship of the Ring has asked for the Charlotte Hornets to join them on their quest knowing that no orc army can beat them with Buzz City at their side.

The Hornets now have a 4-game win streak where they’ve won each game by 15+ PTS. This is the 2nd time they’ve done it this season. The rest of the NBA hasn’t done it once.

The Hornets have been on FIRE from deep 🔥 Since Jan 1st, take a look at the league leaders in made 3s: 1. LaMelo Ball (CHA) - 101 2. Brandon Miller (CHA) - 96  3. Luka Doncic (LAL) - 95  4. Kon Knueppel (CHA) - 94 In fact, if Ball, Miller, and Knueppel were an NBA team by themselves, they'd be out-shooting 4 NBA teams 🎯 Together, the Charlotte trio has hit 291 triples since Jan 1. In that span, the Mavs, Pistons, Kings and Raptors have all made fewer than that - as a team 🤯 Since Jan 1, the Hornets also lead the league both in 3PM and in 3PT%. They're 19-9 in that span - one of the hottest teams in the league. The Hornets are 100% legit. And no other team is shooting like them right now.

TRENDING: Kon Knueppel is now the favorite to win NBA Rookie of the Year.

@LegionHoops @realapp It’s wild what happens when you put down the Palantir.

this might be the tweet of all time

Gimli, son of Gloin, at The Battle of the Pelennor Fields:

Once feared to have been lost for the season, Giannis the White has returned.

@choosesam You mean, like this… 😏⬇️

For obvious long ball sharpshooting reasons, Kon is Legolas.
