You know, as Hornets fans we don’t ask for a lot. The occasional upset victory. Relative health for our good players. And just a tiny bit of respect.
It’s obvious now the NBA doesn’t respect this franchise. All of the sorry ass middling teams out here and the MEDIA and COACHES now want to value winning for the fucking All-Star game and use Melo.as a standard for their bullshit narrative they want to send.
Seriously, the NBA can kiss the fattest part of my ass on this. Sorry for the profanity but Melo deserved this shit. And we did too as fans.
Melo deserved it 100%. Goes to show how rigged NBA is, within its politics, and how much it does not care about the fans. I hope the ticket sales and ratings crash.
I mean, I am completely ok with wins and losses being a main driver of all star status, just go ahead and say that it is the best players in the league from teams in the playoffs hunt. But what they are choosing to do just stinks
That’s my problem Chef. That ain’t never been said until now when a Charlotte Hornet is involved. Like we don’t deserve the same grace every other team in the NBA has received for eternity. Kiss my ass.
With the state of the NBA as it is… the never ending situation as a Hornet fan as it has been… now this on top of it? Yeah man… F the NBA. Wish all my brethren well but this ain’t it…
I honestly think Lamelo’s cold streak recently from 3 had something to do with it. His wrist has definitely been bothering him a bit. But so disrespectful and honestly I blame the media. 1st in fan vote 3rd in player vote 7th in media vote. Even right now media is saying Trae Young is a bigger snub lol.
Honestly just get rid of the media vote, so many people have exposed themselves on bad takes recently with Lamelo. When I saw that Vecenie said he was showboating down 15 which led to him getting hurt in the Lakers game I almost fell over. That level of stupidity has a vote for not only all star but all NBA, MVP, DPOY, etc. And he isn’t the only one.
But yeah, fan vote is now obsolete, I will no longer waste my time with it. And it is also very obvious that the media, coaches, and NBA don’t care about the fans.
First time a leading position vote getter doesn’t make the all star team.
First time a coach reneges after getting hired.
First time a sinkhole opens up under a team’s bench during a game and ends the career of every player on the team. Well, I’m sure that’s next.
Wins/loses has definitely been a historic benchmark for the all Star game, HOWEVER, that is exclusively for reserves. This is the first time I can ever recall where it was used twice once to deny the fan vote as a starter and then again for reserves.
