Just saw the Dikembe Mutombo Geico Insurance commercial again. I literally laugh out loud every time I see it.

Mutombo looks like he could still be playing!

Would love to see Dikembe come out of retirement and block the charging in for the dunk LeBron and then shake his finger in LeBron's face. That's what LeBron deserves after using Mutombo's signature move a while back.

I would love to see that too! We can dream!

Rozier and Hayward just tearing it up in Charlotte.

Rozier and Hayward just tearing it up in Charlotte.

Never understood the hate regarding Rozier when he left - he was a quality PG even back then with the tools to become the player he is today.

I think his media tour left a bitter taste in the mouth of many. I sure was one.

He's always had solid talent though. Thriving in his role where he doesn't have full ball-handling pressures on him, just like he did here.

Both he and Hayward copped it

Hate it when Rozier left and even worse now

Pretty crazy to see Rozier and Hayward leading the Hornets to a better record than Brown and Tatum with the Celtics.
They're not a deep team at all either.

We could have just kept Hayward, Rozier, Theis instead of signing/trading for Walker, Fournier, Thompson.

Danny made the right call at the time. If you can bring in a 4 time all star in Kemba, you do it. Hasn’t worked out thus far, but It still was the right decision.

We couldn't have kept Hayward as he was a UFA and wanted a bigger role. And I definitely don't think we could have kept Rozier after he lit up the Cs when he was hitting RFA.

The Cs would obviously be much better than the Hornets if he had stayed and the Hornets didn't sign anybody of consequence in his place. We only just acquired our Hayward 'replacement' in Fournier - so we will see how we do the rest of the year.

And I don't regret signing Kemba at all. Several teams were ready to give him a max deal, and he chose us. He was fine for us last year and is playing much better lately. Without him we would have no chance at competing for anything. We need a prime Kemba.

They have 1 more win than we do, lol.

The ironic thing is that one of Rozier’s biggest gripes was the treatment Hayward got, in terms of having plays run for him instead of Rozier.  And then Hayward left because he didn’t like his role anyway.
