No one hated Lavar he was just annoying bc he’d say some outlandish stuff. That being said I found it entertaining but some won’t it’s really not that deep
Yup I know somebody else said this, but he hoops like he has AirPods and a backpack on like he can see his shot meter. Very entertaining if he keeps up, he’s taking Luka 1st team all nba spot
Appreciate the hornets love. It's been some fun awful basketball to watch. Maybe Lamelo and Brandon can actually win some once we have a front court again 😂
@@StarveilYT yes the effect of destroying Gilbert arenas knees out lol. But he was such a humble, hustle player who left it all on the floor. You knew you could never question his effort
He is the best point guard in the league..no question. He is better than all the ‘chosen ones’ like Booker, Haliburton, Edwards, Shai…ALL OF THEM. He is tall, he can shoot, has the ball on a string, PLAYS DEFENSE, and of course..the passing. He is tall and highlight reel…and this is coming from a guy who did not think he was going to be anything at ALL in the league. He has proven me BEYOND wrong. Dude is serious.
Loved this video, I think the fact that he’s genuinely trying to win, hasn’t given up and plays till 0.0 ever single game, needs to be recognized more, he’s been a great leader in the way that he pushes his team to play till the buzzer and the dude really does just want to win.. he’s being forced to carry the entire load, no homo 😝, this season and he’s doing it pretty efficiently for the shots that he’s taking… he definitely deserves more credit
Hornets always been my team. Remember when I was a kid my elementary school gave us tickets to their last games before they left to New Orleans. So happy to see my team coming up slowly but surely. Ball is really 1of1 & Miller is going to dominate everything soon!
Been a hornets fan since baron Davis he was constantly bringing us to the playoffs pass the first round compared to kemba that early 2000s hornets roster was nice,this team had the potential to be the best hornets roster ever
Die hard Charlotte fan. I’m glad our young duo is getting some love. They do turn the ball over a lot, but in their defense, 70% of the team is injured. Both of our 7ft centers are injured, miles is injured, our back up gaurd Tre Mann (who’s been balling as well) is injured, we also recently lost our vet in grant williams for the year. Hopefully we get healthy soon. We could steal a play in spot.
You’re right but the warriors wanted a big cuz they have been using the small ball tactic since idk when also they had curry , he would’ve slowed lamelos progression
I been going to the CLT games the past two years and for this year you can see the crowd difference. More fans of the hornets are going to games now and amazing games to watch.
Hornets season ticket holder, Knicks all my life but my son loves the Hornets, and so I do as well. 1. Love this video and thank you for showing love to the Hornets and their style of play. 2. Lamelo is that guy, he and Brandon make a great duo. They just don't have much scoring outside of them and lots of key players always hurt. 3. The NBA does a poor job of telling stories of their young stars, you are right that if he were in a big market team, its all the NBA today team would talk about. Reggie Miller grew from a small market team as a example. Winning cures everything, Hornets have to win but the NBA has to do a better job of marketing their young star talent in smaller markets.
Every generation needs a player like this. Who doesn’t give a damn and just shoots 23+ times a game 😂. Who cares if the team is ass, and if they never really win much. They are fun to watch! We forget this is just entertainment 😂
His field goal percentage is bang on league average for starting pointguards, or slighty above average. Although i would eant him above 47% to be elite
The coach probably made him feel comfortable exploring his skill portfolio, and put the rest of the team on board with it. So he feels free on the court.
No matter what u think about lavar he is a great father and raised two amazing basketball players Unfortunately lonzo injury’s stopped him from being great but I pray Lamelo stays healthy
let’s not hate on gelo. he still got closer to being in the nba then 99% of other basketball players and if he didn’t do that stupid shit in china who knows where his career would’ve went
Lamelo Ball is who Lavar Ball talks like he is. i mean i don`t like Lavar Ball, but i cannot say that he did something wrong after all two of his three sons are in the NBA, and Liangelo Ball might be a semi-pro or at best a G League player.
I agree with you Lavar Ball as a person is annoying but hands down he made sure his kids put in blood, sweat and tears to get to the league. They used to show a lot of the inside thought process for him when it came to training his sons in the “Ball In The Family” tv show but after Lamelo got drafted they stopped the show.
@@jerrygraves6531 Okay maybe annoying was the wrong word to describe him. Because I’ll admit some of the things he says is funny but some of the things he says has him straight up looking delusional. Like him saying he can beat Jordan in a 1v1. But overall he did a good job raising his kids because all of them are where he envisioned them to be. But how does me having an harmless opinion make me corny?
@@Nunbutvibesant you guys criticize foundationals too much, he's a funny guy his claims of greatness are playful and he broke the mold in a cool wholesome way. He didn't hurt anybody, saying he's annoying or "I don't like lavar but" is unfair. There's plenty of people who have done far worsee who don't get the same criticism.
LaMelo Ball may have 30/5, but to compare his PER of 22.6 with the others: Luka at 28.7 in 2022-23 Lebron at 29.1 in 2007-08 Lebron at 28.1 in 2005-06 Tracy McGrady at 30.3 in 2002-03 Also Lebron in 07-08 and McGrady in 02-03 led the league in PER, and Lebron in 05-06 was hundredths of points behind Dirk in PER (both show up at top of the league with 28.1 in PER that year) Right now, LaMelo ball is 17th in PER and basically tied with Domantas Sabonis in PER. So, no he is not having the same seasons as those 3 other "new school" players.
Also he is 15th in BPM, "tied" for 10th in VoRP, 66th in WS/48, 46th in WS. So.. that's.. okay i guess, except for that ws/48.. However, he is at 114 ORTG ("tied" for 101st).. but a 116 DRTG ("tied" for 114th out of 189 players).. which is ... yikes.
Promise u when Mark Williams Nick Richards Tre Mann and Miles Bridges come back this Hornets team is gonna suprise a ton of ppl at full health. RIP Grant he was great 😢
@@louville314 Grant Williams role player that held it down for Charlotte defensively, versatile PF who could guard wings, bigs, and guards occasionally despite being slow footed. Reliable floor spacer, just a nice role player to have.
Ive collected Lamelo's cards since Day 1 I will retire because of him 1 day I know it!! lol Also you are 100 percent right about the announcers making the game so much more enjoyable and exciting!! They are awesome I love when the dude screams LAMELOOOOOOOO HOW DOES HE DO IT!!!>>??? LOL great video! :)
He's not a chuck. He's a great scorer with amazing court vision and fluidity. He puts constant pressure on defenses and keeps the hornets in games through his 4th quarter leaps. 2nd in ppg with the least amount of free throw attempts out of the top 15. Dumbing his game down to just "an entertaining shot chucker" is just disrespectful to the kind of ethical ball he's playing right now
Theres a high volume of 3 points shots being taken across the league this year so you can say alot of players have arrived when the nba tells its teams to make sure players take more 3s. Which results inflated numbers when players have good % shooting nights
Both of the Hornets 1st and 2nd string centers have been injured but they both just got cleared to practice with the g league team so they should be within a week. And You didn’t even mention the one legged 3s, he been hitting those
As much as I’d love to glaze Lamello (pause), but you can’t forget the biggest hurdle for Lamello… His health!!! Until Lamello can prove he can actually stay on the court he’ll never be able to work on his next hurdle which is simply learning how to win. Love Lamellos, but he’s still got a ways to go before he can live up to the potential we all know is there.
I guess I have to try and really to sit down to watch him because just looking at his stats they look pretty much the same. Especially his shooting efficiencies look pretty much the same. It doesn't scream "leap" to me just looks like his volume went up.
Lavar called this shit😭😭😭 no one’s lived up to the hype as much as lamelo. Not Zion, not Ben Simmons, not even Luka cuz no one hyped Luka up that much. Melos story coulda been a meme
As a hornets fan I was mad at Melo last year for not wearing ankle braces cause what I’m seeing now is what I know he could do last year they had Halliburton above bro when Hali has been ass, I just wish our centers were healthy and half our team too
Lamelo hoops like he has AirPods in 💀
Underrated comment lmao
I saw someone say this the other day lol he does
😂
Lmao W COMMENT
Super 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥comment
I remember all the hate Lavar used to get but damn that’s a father who has confidence in his sons. Respect.

Had sons purely so he could be connected to the nba. Oh yeah father of the year

Always good to see some kemba love
if you got season tickets cheap for this season its gonna be great value cuz you'll be watching every game as long as melo playing

Can’t believe people thought scoot was better lol lamelo been a basketball prodigy his whole life
Lamelo bringing back ignorant ball is exactly what was needed rn
Lamelo Ball is a legitimate superstar 💯🔥🔥🔥
ive been telling yall he is true generational talent and goated and a top 20 player easily

he has the longest leash in the league rn its crazy how reliant the hornets are on him hitting the kinds of shots he takes

Now it’s time to get some pure defenders for depth on this Hornets team and they’ll actually be good.

Lamelo ball hoop like he got his shoes untied
He said “my youngest will be the best one” when they were still kids
Imagine if the Warriors picked him instead of Wiseman
It would have been a melo party instead of poole
Lamelo is fun to watch like 90s basketball. Where it's off instincts and not going by the numbers of what's efficient
Lamelo still plays like he loves the game. Just like when he was a kid. This leap was expected.
Levar is such a genius 😭
Ain’t missed a single highlight tape they nice with it and shoutout to the announcers 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
His last coach held him back bad.
It’s crazy that the Warriors could have drafted him lol bro just needs to stay healthy
This!!!
You’re right but the warriors wanted a big cuz they have been using the small ball tactic since idk when also they had curry , he would’ve slowed lamelos progression
So glad they didn’t!
@@Slapshot544 cuz he's not a warriors fan. No one else wants to see that team potentially start up a new dynasty for free

But he did sniff it, just wasn’t good enough
He did. He played for the pistons in the summer and the hornets g-league. He wasn't enough.
Gelo would dog bronny
He’s not even in his prime yet. Most entertaining player in the league right now. Can’t wait for Lonzo to join the hornets
I been telling people . He is playing like a top 5 player in the league!
What’s really crazy is you spend your free time watching the hornets
When he scored 44 the other day my old head cousin uncle and my dad were like “ball hog”
U jinxed him with this video. Bro out 2+ weeks on injury
Thank you best nba vid all season my team has been good but we are young and still losing
It’s a real shame that we had to again be one of the most injured teams in a 3rd consecutive season so far.
LaMelo has always been really good, he's just gotten unlucky the past couple years with his lower body seemingly being made of glass.
Agreed! Melo, is exciting to watch..👍🏾
We need a Cam Thomas video next !!!
