a PS5 at half time, takes it back off him as soon as the cameras aren't watching
The skit came in a game break during the second quarter of Monday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers at Spectrum Center. The boy joined Charlotte's mascot, Hugo, who was dressed as Santa, on the court. In-game host Ohavia Phillips read a letter to Santa that included a request for a PS5 for Christmas as a Hornets cheerleader walked up to Hugo and gave him a gift bag. The mascot then pulled a PS5 out of the bag and gave it to the surprised boy.
However, the Hornets took the PS5 from the fan after the cameras turned off and a staffer replaced it with a jersey.
Genuinely, how on earth did that get signed off? 
The boy was confused and disappointed, and cheerleaders, dancers and other team staff members standing nearby were also shocked he could not keep the item, according to Phillips.
Charlotte lost to Philadelphia 121-108 Monday night, falling to 7-19 on the season.

Some PR flake decided they wanted a PS5 more than they wanted to keep working for the Hornets.

They're such a fricking joke. The 2011-12 Bobcats season broke that franchise, and they've never recovered. Pretending they're the same team as the original Hornets sure as Heck didn't fix anything. It just cements them as the Browns of the NBA.

Let me tell you this-- rdrama is one of the most jolly, festive, warmhearted online caroling communities you'll ever find, and even as a supporter of christmas cheer it appalls me that the internet would allow such a overwhelmingly jolly, nurturing hub of cheer and spirit to exist.
You think the north pole was festive? That website, if you pick up on the elf-whistles (and many don't even bother with that-- say want you want about GrinchFront, at least it bans "HO HO HO"), will reveal itself to you as the internet's number one hub for the web's most hardened Elves, Coal haters, Clausmaxxers, Grinchphobes and Midnight Milk Enjoyers.
You'll notice on the description that it encourages members to be as festive as possible. That's intentional. They encourage present giving in the comments section. That's intentional. You know the Three Minute Jolly (it's from this underrated movie die hard, give it a watch, it's amazing how much it parallels our society)? It's like that, they want to stoke the flames of chrismas cheer so they continue to dogpile every coal haver, Grinch and santa denier who enters the website, normalizing these jolly feelings.
They brigade from website to website, having an entire cabal of admins spanning hundreds of communities, providing cookies and milk to the lived experiences of the jolly and unashamedly bolstering the internet's santa supremacy movement. They've coal-shamed hundreds of people too, some even... to death. I fear that rdrama may be producing an entire army of elves and saint nicks, and I highly suggest that nobody dares visit that amazing website, lest you potentially fall victim to its festive aura.
