I mean we all saw the confidence and ability of this dude when he was 5 ft something in high school and pulled up to the logo pointed at it and then shot a no effort half court with bones for arms.
Tbh he shut me so fast when he joined the NBA and still kept the confidence and crazy pull ups going ... . I only used to hate on him in high school because of how they were put on the pedestal and everyone was hype about him so I tried to find reason to him which was just that he was cocky and that he had a ugly jump shot which he did in HS but he made his shots so it didn't matter until when he changed in NBA because it was easier to Block and so he made it even quicker to release and not bring the ball down so low.... anyways sorry for the essay , just saying younger me was stupid for doubting him but glad he proved me wrong, and dude seems like he has a great personality and can get along with anyone ..
@@peasy-s7rat least you can admit it some people act like lamelo wasn’t on track to be the best brother and also like they weren’t on the other side against Lavar. Even being on lamelo’s side I didn’t see him being this good though it’s that same “cockiness” that got him playing this way.
He shoots too much He is fun to watch but he's definitely playing street ball. He shoots three pointers from anywhere at anytime with no conscience. Luka led the league last year with 23 shots a game. He shot the ball 29 times the other night. PG's today all want the Steph Curry glory. He has become selfish to where he's primary goal is to score.
@@RotweilerScholar him and miller are the only two who generate consistent offense if either has a bad game the hornets lose. He’s knows he isn’t on a contender why not have fun
@@KevonDaDon win together and lose together. It's an opportunity for him to help other young players develop, learn where they like the ball and give them opportunities for more shots to develop their offense. He's gonna get his bag regardless.
@@RotweilerScholar This is true, his usage rate this season is a ridiculous 40%. Even luka is only around 35% for his career. I think they need to play mann with lamelo more. Mann can play on and off the ball, same with melo. Also more touches for miller but I think that will def come as the season progresses and miller gets in a good rhythm. Hornets have a solid shot at making playoffs this season
Atl dont talk like that.. He's been in Charlotte which is the south so if anything hes just picking up on the culture.. Also most suburban kids use slang which comes from the hood.. By all means this would just make most kids "suburban bangers" lol 🤷🏾...
I could smell the passive aggressive racism in this ignorant ass comment 😂his father is were he got his accent from he been talking like that since a kid we watched him grow up
Eric Collins is the second best part about being a hornets fan lol. It’s been years since we’ve even had anything to be excited about and now we have melo, Miller, mark, and Eric Collins
The play style he uses usually only works when the player is head and shoulders above his competition aka aau ball. It makes you wonder how fucking talented this kid really is. I mean shit he was a freshman in high school damn near an 8th grader not only playing on but STARTING FOR one of the most dominant and talented high school teams ever
@Gbkhatedlove once he joins a real team like the celtics or lakers it's over rn he's enjoying himself and trying his best so what he do t controll the team, hes not the owner or the coach dude just has to the his job to the best of his abilities and let the hater talk 🗣 and talk 🗣 and then they finna be real quiet 🤫
Lamelo is so good and fun to watch that the Hornets are one of the teams I have notifications for. I'm no Hornets fan but I wish him the best. The media is just really bad at making the NBA interesting and the NBA is bad marketing their own guys. The want to move on from Lebron and Steph and they're the only 2 they heavily promote. I don't even care about those 2.
Charlotte Hornets TV commentator is enough marketing by himself. BEst hype man ever. And as someone that started following the bobcats in their second season because of reasons, best years to watch the team when he plays by far. I remember the draft lottery when we almost got wemby i was so fucking nervous just imagine Lamelo and Wemby together.
Yall forget lamelo was shorter then 6ft at the start of high-school with a deadly jumpsuit and crafty handles but grew to 6'7 by the start of his rookie season,it's obvious going to take a while to adjust but look like he's finaly has it all together he just needs to stay committed IN and OFF the court
it aboslutlelty amazes me on how he literallyy gets everyone involved in the game, no matter its the 2nd best player or the worst player on the team, his iq makes him such a great player, 3 level scorer, he's great at pick pocketing, klutch, flashy passer, and great teammate
Lamelo isn’t a bad defender, he’s just not passionate about it, the same could be said about many other players and even some of the best defenders can admit it’s a passion thing.
Adding on the you bringing up how much he loves to shoot off of screens: He loves any amount of space to shoot, even with the smallest amount of space he’ll take the shot.
i didnt forget, i dont really watch the NBA, but Lamelo is my guy for sure, i type his name in the bar every few months to check some highlights out,,, him and Chet
lavar idea to send lamelo to europe was the best, most of the best player in NBA right now come from European profecional basketball not NCAA, he is 23 and already playing really mature
This is a great video but wildly off base thinking his shooting was in question in High School. He scored 92 as a freshman if I recall and was draining 40 footers. Immediately out of high school went and played pro basketball in Lithuania. He's been a dominant scorer his whole life.
He reminds me of a mini Trey and Luka combined into one person 🙂↔️🙂↔️🙂↔️ I swear the dribbling is like Luka’s just as fast as Treys and his jump shot is like Treyswith the speed of Luka 😅
im a huge warriors stan, but i dont think so. I think lamelo wouldn't get the PT in the warriors franchise and be able to develop the way he did on the hornets
I thought I was the only one who noticed that. It's not even him gathering the ball with an extra step, it's a full 2+ steps with the ball. Travel after travel
It is terrible the league doesn’t market LaMelo like they should. But I think there are a few main reasons, one being he plays in Charlotte. The second reason and I think the biggest is he hasn’t made the playoffs in his career yet so it’s hard to really talk about him until he gets post season appearances under his belt. The final reason, is Melo really does have to stay healthy & on the court cause the last 2 seasons he’s missed a TON of games. But with his talent & the team doing better to go with his on court personality it’s only a matter of time before they start talking about him nationally cause he’s going to bring an audience
sorry for hijacking your comment to say this. i honestly don't think lamelo is great, yet. he's entertaining, he has a lot of offensive skill but also has a penchant for shot chucking. pundits like him when he's good, fans of opposing teams don't see him as reasonably a top 3 PG in his own conf. the way the team is headed now with owing their draft pick (protected), their goal is to miss the playoffs this year and then cash in on a large chunk of their picks 2027 to make a big move. the team is otherwise unexciting if they don't hit on that draft pick. brandon miller was a hit though. from what we know, the hornets should remain relatively bad for the next 3 years. rn i put trae, brunson, maxey, one of the cavs dudes over him. i know this game's about entertainment foremost but at some point it's about winning. what is he gonna look like when he's only taking 15-20 shots with a second star demanding the ball? will his defense pan out as someone with his size?
LOL, havent we scene this movie before.. He isnt a winner , maybe has some nice street ball moves but he isnt focused on winning basketball games and team going to the playoffs. He is like most modern players its about $ and Social Media profile which is fine as not everyone is as commuted to winning these days. Bet my bottom dollar he will NEVER win a championship in the NBA unless a bus rider.

They gotta let the defense play defense again. I can't even watch any of that stuff anymore. Whistles every two seconds .no defense.three point shot after three point shot after three point shot..

Lavar is hell of a father. He and his sons already made history.
LaMelo would be great on Team USA. And it would be good for his development as well.
Lamelo isn’t a bad defender, he’s just not passionate about it, the same could be said about many other players and even some of the best defenders can admit it’s a passion thing.
Defense can DEFINITELY be worked on, once he gets his defense polished he will be one of the best 2-way guards we’ve ever seen in years
Gonna mess around and put himself in that MVP talk
Adding on the you bringing up how much he loves to shoot off of screens: He loves
any amount of space to shoot, even with the smallest amount of space he’ll take the shot.
i didnt forget, i dont really watch the NBA, but Lamelo is my guy for sure, i type his name in the bar every few months to check some highlights out,,, him and Chet
i love his game, hes so free out there
Looks like he’s playing street ball
another thing about melo thats surprising to me is he is really light he is 5 inches taller than steph and somehow is lighter than him
That man lived up to all the hype... as i told everyone he would, glad he didnt make me out to be a liar
Charlotte need a good center and a good wing defend.. that'll cover up Mello's weakness and help them into playoffs
kemba's curse. playing in charlotte means 0 media attention.
what is this then?
@TroupeStreams fair point, maybe I was a bit hyperbolic with my comment. Also I guess i meant major media like espn and stuff
Bro melo gets the attention trust me he’s trending every time!
His Daddy said, it has to be another Curry, I believe he can be that guy!
Another Curry disciple. Behind Curry he's the most entertaining. This guy is a walking chest code that will make any opponent go crazy.
Suburban goon squad leader 💯🗡️
Last 2 years killed me I got to see every play
Or if they got wemby In stead of miller last year could of been crazy
lavar idea to send lamelo to europe was the best, most of the best player in NBA right now come from European profecional basketball not NCAA, he is 23 and already playing really mature
Lamelo plays like he in slides
He crossed up Payton Pritchard and traveled bad, that was like 5 steps with no dribble to the basket.
This is a great video but wildly off base thinking his shooting was in question in High School. He scored 92 as a freshman if I recall and was draining 40 footers. Immediately out of high school went and played pro basketball in Lithuania. He's been a dominant scorer his whole life.

Took him a few yrs but he's making the NBA look like that last year at Chino.
I trulllly think the warriors would have had two more if you had lamelo with Steph. I see this as such a fumble
They would’ve changed his game

Love his shooting form. Not a jump shot, more like a tiny hop quick release shot.
Now everyone else is hurt on the team everytime he's healthy
bro got the lazy mans jump shot
4:35 bro curry get tripled teamed and still making shots at 44% from 3 is better than a 1v1 48% three point shooter
triple teamed ?
@@mekacrabyess
lol he travels almost every time he has the ball. That's going to throw off any defender.
I thought I was the only one who noticed that. It's not even him gathering the ball with an extra step, it's a full 2+ steps with the ball. Travel after travel
The “Hornets Sinister 6” is my favorite team to watch
Nobody questions this man's talent. But it's about his availability. The last 2 years he's played 58 out of 164 games. That's 35%.
