🏀GIVEAWAY🏀 Kon Knueppel has made the cover of the iconic SLAM Magazine, and we’re giving away a T-shirt in your size of choice to celebrate the moment. Just like, repost, or enter our Instagram contest for a chance to win: bit.ly/3Ob4Pst *The winner will be announced this Friday, April 3!* The Hornets will host SLAM Night on Thursday as they take on Devin Booker, Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks, and the Phoenix Suns, and SLAM Magazine will be on site selling Kon merchandise, along with select items and activations. Knueppel also has a chance to break the Hornets’ single-season record for most three-pointers on Thursday night, as he currently has 257 on the season, just three shy of Kemba Walker’s franchise-record 260 set in 2018–19. The Hornets have a long and storied history with SLAM Magazine, the basketball and culture publication that launched in 1994 with Larry Johnson on its first cover. In May 1994, a new era of the NBA was forming after Michael Jordan’s first retirement to play baseball, as several new stars emerged (including Johnson) while the Hornets were in the midst of making the playoffs in seven of 10 seasons and becoming one of the league’s most popular teams. Over the years, Baron Davis, Kemba Walker, and LaMelo Ball have all gone on to grace the cover of the magazine, and Charlotte’s own rising star, Kon Knueppel, now adorns the cover of Issue 261.
