One of the best thing lavar did for lamelo’s game was sending lamelo overseas to play ball. It’s obvious it helped him understand the game on a pro level fast AF.
I think the best decision LaVar did for LaMelo is finding Jermaine Jackson to coach and mentor him that guy made sure LaMelo gonna be ready for the league.
The hating ass people would say anything now 😂 knowing damn well he’s winning roty, now they just say “stfu” “hop off his d” “they post him everyday” clown ass
Can’t believe he’s just 19 and already has such a force with game flow. I used to go to the Coliseum as a kid and watch the Hornets play back in the 90’s and I gotta say, watching Melo play really brings the fun of watching a Hornets game back like it used too. Melo + Eric Collins commentary = A Hornets fan base Resurrection!!!
Been hearing that the hornets are going to try and get Zach Lavine so the hornets will have one of the nastiest backcourts in the league if that happens 2 unguardable guards is a force to be reckoned with
this dude was pumping up the hornets last year after they lost Kemba but kept hyping up all the crazy dunks and plays. I’m happy he’s got a young exciting generation talent to scream in excitement about now
@@legreatness7642 I think a lot of people (and I assume this is what OP meant) knew he would be good in the NBA but did not expect that he would be putting up these kinda numbers in his first few months of his career. I thought he would be much more of a liability on defense than he is, and didn't expect he would be shooting as consistently as he is. He also has passing abilities and court vision that already surpass his brother's, which is absolutely insane for a rookie. What a talent!
The thing is... he doesn’t just stand there & watch a play develop. He’s always active. Always moving on or off ball... that’s why he looks better. Effort is everything
@@jmoney4220 Drew league crowd was lit! He definitely fed off that energy. He also went crazy with Illawarra when they played in the big stadium the last 5 games or so before he got hurt. Dude has evolved from a bit of a showboat to a full fledged showman. His flare isn’t something he thinks about, it’s embedded in his game. He plays to win and it’s obvious he loves the game and is out there having the time of his life. He makes the game fun watch again. Can’t help but to be super happy for him, the entire Hornets franchise and especially for the Hornets fans for finally catching a break.
Jordan was probably laughing thinking "wtf are these dudes at the warriors and Timberwolves thinking just got myself the best player in the draft with a 3rd pick"
@@ethanscisciani4113 he legit gets more then cp3 mike conley carmelo and 2 ppl on his team he gets more then is that pj dude who had 42 the other night and terry all he has to do is fall and the refs give him free throws
I'll be the 1st to admit. This boy can flat out BALL. no pun intended. flash, can finish with either hand, can PASS with either hand, can shoot much better than i thought, and more athletic than i thought. he is the REAL deal.
Its not like he cant shoot, it was just his maturity and discipline, only reason he had low shooting splits was due to him shooting unnecessary and shooting unbalanced and not adjusting to his growth spurts
He might be the most skilled rookie I've ever seen, with Luka a close 2nd. Every move looks so fluid and polished. Can't wait to see how much better he gets throughout his career
People have been calling him bust since Lithuania or maybe high school, even rank him below lonzo when he's clearly the most skilled one glad he's proving them wrong
I remember the hate after his 0pts debut and haters telling he's a bust and FLYNN, OKORO, PAT WILL, DENI, HAYES, are better than him HAHA he is wayyyyyyy ahead of dis class , give him already the ROTY and next year he'll be a ALL Star #MB1 I TOLD YOU SO - LAVAR
Wonder where are all the people who said he would be a bust .. I strongly believe the warriors should've taken Lamelo instead of Wiseman .. I'm not saying he's trash I'm just thinking a backcourt of Curry and Lamelo would've been lethal until Klay came back .. not to mention he could've been the future of the warriors once curry retired
The warriors picked Wiseman because he fits their team, if they pick lamelo he wouldn't be performing as well and thats because they already have facilitator which is steph curry they dont need him, lamelo isnt a catch and shoot guy
This is the first time i envied,felt salty and felt amaze on someone, because lamelo's game screams flexibility i think but mostly his game screams 'Freedom', he is like a confident bird that trying really hard to reach the highest peak of the sky or he is just like a dancer who dance in a high level just for the sake of it. His basketball has freedom.
3 games with 20+ points and 10+ assists this season during his rookie season at 19 years old. He trails Luka Doncic with 5 games in 2018 and Lebron James with 8 games in 2003. Hope they’ll get in the playoffs for the first time in 5 years-2016
LaMelo the best ball brother and it isn't even close. He said his family raised a killa and you can see that. He makes the game look so damn easy, like he smile from start to finish. If he stays healthy and adds 10lbs of muscle in the next two seasons, he gonna avg 25p/7r/10a
Developing a "chris paul" midrange pull up will complete his PG options. His rim finishing will improve naturally as he grows his good frame. His handles need not be kyrie creative as long as they are shifty and quick because honestly all melo needs is a Pick. He is so good at using the roll man, he even swerves through it like the veterans do.
Never had a doubt! Ive been watching lamelo for years and he has always been special and a fucking sniper, i love how everyone is surprised. It has been blatantly obvious since the early years that lamelo and zion both were going to be special. The difference between lamelo and lonzo is one thing, confidence. Lonzo watching his brother shine knowing that he has always been able to compete with lamelo is starting to gain his own confidence and starting to become himself again. Lonzo couldn't even talk to reporters in the beginning, these are young dudes give them some time and things will get better with experience.
One important aspect that makes lamelo better than lonzo is that he can drive and is a crafty finisher at the rim. That opens up a lot of passing opportunities

@0:49 Reminds of Harden, he stands just far enough out of the play to get the ball back and create for himself or dish to a teammate. Melo is learning quickly.

He will for sure win the 2021 ROY. I hope his team makes the playoffs this year so that I can see him ball out.
