Potential Hornets RECORD Breakers | Naz Reid to LEAD?

Which Charlotte Hornets could etch their names into the NBA record books this season? Walker Mehl and Doug Branson tackle that question, kicking things off with last year’s rookie 3-point sensation Kon Knueppel before surveying which current Hornets players could set new team or league milestones in 2024-25. The focus narrows on center Hannes Steinbach and his chances of challenging historic rebounding marks, both for rookies and the league at large. The hosts consider the difficulties of surpassing numbers set by legends like Wilt Chamberlain and Moses Malone—and why modern big men, including rookie standouts, might face an uphill battle. Shifting gears, the discussion spotlights Naz Reid’s arrival in Charlotte and what it means for the Hornets’ frontcourt firepower. Could Naz break the record for most 3-pointers in a season by a player 6'9" or taller? The answer isn’t as far-fetched as it seems, especially with increased minutes and a green light from deep. Leadership is also on the agenda, as Walker Mehl and Doug Branson explore Reid’s own words about embracing a veteran role in a young locker room and the importance of team chemistry on and off the court. A fun detour surfaces with the infamous NBA “soup incident” and a look at iconic Hornets headband fashion moments, adding flavor throughout. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
