Might be the most underrated player in recent Charlotte memory.

7-59 to 1st round sweeps. Hendo was stupendously average.

I'll miss ya, Hendo. Great athleticism, will to defend, always willing to defend his teammates if things got chippy after the whistle. All those drives into the lane and dunks when nobody expected it. Great leader, Great captain.

Co-sign.

Too bad he is playing in the wrong era. Should have been on the 90s Knicks.

Put Henderson back in 1987 and hes a multiple all star.

on his first visit to Charlotte he will deliberately not take any 2's, scoring 33 points on 11/14 shooting.

then he will punch Hairston in the mouth, because why not

Good Luck Hendo in Portland, you were and are a consummate pro. Raptors are having a fest now, because this year you will only destroy them 2 times. :P

I know it never worked and was completely excruciating as a fan but i'll sort of miss watching our time capsule of a team. It was like we were playing in a different era. Endearing in a way

Classy exit indeed.
My picks:
2020 Draft (3rd pick) - Tyrese Haliburton, Devin Vassell, or Onyeka Okongwu
2021 Draft (11th pick) - Moses Moody

I couldn't for the life of me understand why a team would take on Hendo in a trade but now it's starting make sense to me. Portland is about to start tanking knowing that LMA was gone and Matthews wanted more money than he's prolly worth coming off that achilles injury. It only made sense to trade for the tank commander of the worst team in NBA history which happens to be Hendo.

Another one of our guys tearing it up with great articles at The Players' Tribune. Hendo on guarding Kobe the first time (couldn't avoid not mentioning that Larry Brown was a tough mofo, haha)

Coincidentally, talked with his dad today for the podcast. Such a great guy.

Thanks for the tip Lamar. Good read. Hobe really was obsessed with Kobe, just like we all knew.

that article was pretty neat. It's absolutely crazy that Kobe could tell that the rim was 1/4 of an inch too low.
investigate Adam Silver
