First Look at Pops in a Hornets Uniform as Training Camp Opens
It's a good look!
The New Orleans Hornets held their annual media day on Monday, with local and national press getting their first chance to sit down and get better acquainted with the 2010-2011 roster. As a part of that, all members of the team go through their official team photos which gives us our first chance to take a look at Pops Mensah-Bonsu rockin’ the New Orleans Hornets uniform.
I gotta say, it’s a good look!
Training camp opened on Tuesday, where Pops will battle it out to make the final roster-a position he has been in before. In a recent interview with MVP, he explained;
“It’s a great opportunity but I’m not going to get too far ahead of myself, I’m 27-years-old now and I’ve been at this stage before. I’m a bit older and wiser. But I have a chip on my shoulder and when I played for GB in the summer, it definitely helped that I was playing with a bit of anger. It made me focus in a little more and it made sure I brought the same intensity to every game. I just wanted to show the best of my abilities. I did that this summer. And I want to continue to do that.”
“It’s a very good chance but I feel like in the past, my chances were just as good.”

Do you like our work?
We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.
We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.
We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.
If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.
We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
