I don't even know how Ole Miss fans like this kid. Yeah, he scores a lot of points, but he's a total jackass. I really can't think of another player, past or present, that behaves like he does on the court. I don't think I'd even like playing with him. If he played with any composure, Ole Miss wouldn't have needed to rely on the SECT to get an NCAAT bid. That's why he didn't make first team. Leading scorer in the conference loses its luster when you shoot 35% from the field. If anyone on Ole Miss has a case for getting snubbed, it was Holloway. I just find it hilarious that I have friends at Ole Miss who absolutely love everything about him, including his attitude. Put him on any other team, and they'd feel the same way about Henderson everyone else does. It's beyond a player just being good and speaking his mind. He's taunted half the teams he's played and during the game. There's a reason this is his 4th team in as many years. He's an immature punk who obviously hasn't learned much as to how to conduct himself outside of not serving another jail sentence. Think about that for a second. The school that likes to think they're the epitome of class and conservatism worship a kid who shows none of that.
For the first half of the season I really disliked him, mainly because of his extremely frustrating shot selection. He won me over after his buzzer beater at Vandy, although I wouldn't say that I loved him.
I'm not going to be a homer and blindly defend his actions. He's a mega douche, I can't think of anyone worse than him in this regard. I don't waste my time defending him on here because it's pointless. He is a massive jackass and that's a fact. I don't appreciate his comments he's made in post game interviews because he can come off as selfish and putting himself and future career above the team. I won't even get into his twitter habits.
Having said that, here is the bottom line. He has single handily won several games for us. He has garnered attention to a pathetic Ole Miss basketball program (good and bad) that it would never have gained otherwise. His cockiness oftentimes translates into confidence that produces clutch play when it matters. He's a mercenary that took us to our first NCAA appearance since 2002 and first SECTC since 1981, only our second ever, and for that I thank him.
I honestly don't love the guy, but he is fun to watch and I just take him for what he is and laugh. This is probably the worst basketball season in SEC history, and he has given us a reason to watch the games and for the season to not be forgotten.

I don't understand why an OM fan wouldn't like him at any point... weird. He's a good guy, nice kid. Is he a degenerate? Yeah sure, but he's not hurting anyone. If you met him in person you'd like him.
He's hilarious and entertaining.
He's the best thing that has happened to OM basketball in years and our NCAAT appearance has validated that.
