You have to take the good with the bad with Lance Stephenson. After having two turnovers in the 1st OT, Stephenson redeemed himself by hitting the game-winning three to life the Hornets to a 2OT victory against the Atlanta Hawks. Surprisingly, it was the first of his career.

Lance Stephenson wants to be an All-Star, he wants to be talked about among the best in the league and he has the talent, drive and edge needed to do so, he just has to become a more consistent player. Can’t make a bonehead play in one overtime and be the hero in the next and be considered one of the best. The top players would’ve sealed the deal the first time. Stephenson has it in him and I believe he’ll get there, his game just has to mature more.
