You in the arena get Red Panda, we get a discussion about how the Hornets’ hiring of Kenny Atkinson is yet another positive step forward for African-American representation at the head coaching level. – 10:18 PM

Love the Kenny Atkinson hire in Charlotte. Atkinson is one of the NBA’s best teachers. Hornets have a young roster in need of continued development. It’s a terrific fit. – 8:22 PM

Charlotte Hornets hire Kenny Atkinson, per Woj.
Atkinson’s experience levelling up guards is impressive. Excited to see him help LaMelo Ball refine his game in Year 3.

The Nets fired Kenny Atkinson and replaced him with Steve Nash.
And Brooklyn had Ime Udoka working under Nash the following season, before letting him leave for Boston (and a trip to the NBA Finals).
A lot of pressure in Nash heading into next season. – 6:30 PM

Kenny Atkinson is a PERFECT hire for the Hornets. Outside of drafting LaMelo, this might be the best move Michael Jordan has made since becoming an owner. – 6:21 PM
