Hopping on @wesandwalker in like 3 minutes.
Odds of me making fun of Walker are better than taking Boston and the points tonight

Very happy to share that after 3 seasons serving as @CharlotteMBB’s in-arena host, I’ll be the new PA Announcer for 49ers Men’s Basketball. I’m also grateful to be the Hornets back-up PA for a third season.
In more exciting news… Charlotte basketball now has a $2.99 menu.

Per @WalkerMehl, 8 billion
Per @spotrac the Hornets have two rostered players currently playing on expiring deals; Grant Williams and Moussa Diabaté.
You have to re-sign Moussa, right? What's the highest AAV you're comfortable signing him to? And for how long?
Re-sign Grant or trade him? 🤔

Programming note: I’ll be on WFNZ’s @wesandwalker tomorrow at 2pm talking Charlotte’s men’s basketball exhibition game in Chapel Hill & the football team’s Friday night clash with Tulane.

A lot is falling on Brandon Miller with Kon Knueppel and Coby White out, so he hasn't been overly efficient, but he's been really good. He's up to the moment of carrying the team.

Lmaoooo @WalkerMehl @DougBransonLOH y’all really got @SamFarberLive to drop “goodbye basketball” on the air on that Moussa block

Worth saying every time: Rick treated new people to his beat so well. He didn’t have to, but he did. Loved hearing the many stories he had filed away in his memory bank. He’s still missed.

🎧 Naz Reid on the last 24 hours: "It was a roller coaster ride for sure, but it's always how you respond."
"The resiliency we have as a team — we have guys missing, guys down — it's next man up. That's how I made my mark in the league is next man up..."
Postgame Interview:

🗣️ Naz Reid on Moussa Diabate: "A guy like him compliments me very well and vice versa... just the energy, the effort, the intensity he brings is super high. You could try and match it, but it's not really gonna happen." 🫎
Naz Reid joined @WalkerMehl ahead of the @hornets home opener to discuss his strong debut in Brooklyn and the potential that he and Moussa have as a frontcourt duo.

Crazy: I got an official email from the league office this morning stating the LaMelo play was NOT a travel!!
I just had to click the link to see the official ruling.
Turns out it was a phishing email from James Dolan and now I have to do a cybersecurity training 😭😭
Insanely frustrating for ALL 3 NBA broadcasters for an ESPN game to not know the rules.
As long as the ball isn't gathered (the ball hasn't come to rest while controlling it) there's no limit on the number of steps between dribbles/before the gather.
"Looking sketchy" ≠ travel
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The official NBA refs account said this was not a legal move

In the 2002 NC 4A playoffs, our Myers Park team faced Erik’s West Forsyth team.
He was an absolute beast and knocked us out.
I followed his remarkable career from that point forward, and I cannot begin to express how highly everyone I’ve encountered who knew Erik continues to speak of him and his family.
His name and legacy live on throughout our program every day — through our hospitality suite, our pitchers’ bag of baseballs, and a special tree planted outside The Hayes.
My thoughts and prayers are with Erik’s family, friends, and everyone whose life he touched.
We will always be proud to honor his legacy.

For the first time this season, and the first time in the Tim Albin era, the Charlotte 49ers have beaten an FBS team, taking down Temple, 38-31.
The win was Charlotte’s first in 399 days, and first over an FBS opponent in 686 days.
Conner Harrell’s monster 303 yard, 4 TD performance led the way for the 49ers.
