The Charlotte Hornets Broke Kai Jones

Charlotte Hornets big man, Kai Jones, has spent his offseason being a straight-up weirdo online posting cringy videos and declaring himself as one of the best basketball players ever.

After a strange, erratic summer of behaving like a homeless man shucking and jiving for pennies, the Hornets announced he would be away from the team for an indefinite period.

The Charlotte Hornets will have 2021 first-round pick Kai Jones away from the team indefinitely and there’s no timetable for his return, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. Jones will miss training camp due to personal reasons, and team remains in constant communication with him.

It’s possible I’m not describing these posts the right way. Let’s look at some of the nonsense Kai Jones is putting out for everyone to see.

There is nothing inherently wrong with going on Instagram Live and dancing to Michael Jackson to whatever maniacs choose to sit there on their phone watching you do this bullshit.

It starts to get odd when you are profusely sweating. And then you start looking around his room which looks like a basement with the walls covered in his own marker drawings like a child. A child with those parents that make you uncomfortable because they encourage their children to scribble on the walls as a creative outlet.

And then you watch a clip from his IG Live where he starts speaking and uh, yea…

The fuck??

It appears as though Kai Jones has either invented his own language or he’s getting his ass beat by Perc ’30s. Fentanyl has homeboy in a figure four leg lock sweating buckets in his Harry Potter under the stairs ass bedroom.

Here’s the full statement from the Hornets:

“The Charlotte Hornets announced today that forward/center Kai Jones will not participate in Training Camp due to personal reasons. There is not currently a timetable for his return to the team. Out of respect for the personal nature of the situation, the Hornets will not have any additional public comments regarding the matter at this time.”

Meanwhile:

Kai Jones is on Ezra Miller time. Ezra was cast as The Flash and started believing he was truly a god and immediately began terrorizing people’s lives.

And I can’t help but blame the Hornets for whatever Kai Jones is doing.

This organization’s national irrelevance has allowed them to put together a roster full of guys no one would ever want to be alone in an elevator with. The Horners are an after-school program for kids with behavioral issues.

Let’s look at this roster of ne’er do wells and guys who have never in their lives won a game of rock, paper, scissors:

PJ Washington was finessed by Brittany Renner and has to pay child support to a woman who appears every 6 months to say “who wants to hump me next??” before hibernating with enough semen in her system to get her through the winter.
Gordon Hayward—being so passionate about ‘education reform’—is giving seminars on the truth about vaccines and trying to avoid facing consequences for storming the capitol on January 6th.
Frank Ntilikina is only in the league because Phil Jackson stole James Dolan’s money knowing damn well he had no desire to run an NBA front office so when it was the Knicks time to draft a player, Phil threw a dart at a random point guard and declared him as the perfect player to run the triangle offense.
LaMelo Ball has to fund his father’s dreams of selling the same garbage sneakers that put a handicap sticker on his brother’s car.
Cody Martin is the other Martin brother. Ya know, the one who didn’t help lead the Heat to the Finals. The one who sucks on the sucky Hornets.
Miles Bridges almost beat the life out of his girlfriend in front of their children.
James Bouknight was arrested passed out in his running car drunk as hell with guns everywhere
Oh, and they just drafted Brandon Miller who was an accomplice in a fucking MURDER last year.

Kai Jones didn’t stand a chance. He was drafted 19th overall in 2021 and he’s barely even been on the court ever.

These NBA teams don’t realize they are responsible for these teenage kids being separated from their families and support systems and being thrown into situations where the company they work for gives no shits about them.

They are treated like anonymous assets to be used in order to help acquire more talented and established versions of themselves and in their gestation period waiting to be shipped off across the country, they are surrounded by other teenagers who also have no idea who they are or what they want in their life and Brittany Renner is just in the parking lot offering you answers.
