LaMelo Ball shot 11-42 (26%) in the preseason *yeah but he makes fancy passes*

[k0kakw0rld]

Can y'all stop boosting these little nikkas for no reason?

STFU with this non sense.

Do you know that other rookies are doing much better than him? :confusedshrug:

All hype like Lonzo. :facepalm

[rawimpact]

Like I've been saying,

So far he is following the exact same steps as his brother Lonzo.

Fancy passes, poor shooting.

[Airupthere]

Similar trajectories between brothers. Lamelo should fade into the background as the years go on.

[StrongLurk]

Anyone with a brain know he's gonna be putting up the same low efficiency, triple singles as Lonzo. LaMelo does have some decent talent and is confident, but dude is still super raw and immature. I revoked my Hornets fandom permanently because drafting him 3rd overall was the last straw for me.

Probably the most annoying part is all of the retards who stan the Ball family will just come up with pathetic excuses for why they didn't become stars in the league instead of admitting they were duped by fake hype.

[Kblaze8855]

Are there a bunch of Lamelo hyping topics I missed to justify hating on a rookie essentially playing summer league ball?

Did he say something I missed that makes him annoying?

What the beef with this kid? How does he already have haters pouncing to talk about shit that doesn’t matter?

[Kiddlovesnets]

Theres one big difference though, that this year's draft is weak and he may actually be one of the best players. Lonzo's draft class was more stacked, which made him look like a terrible bust.

Right? The BBB hype is years in the past at this point. There's 3x as much hate as hype going this kid's direction.

And he does make fancy passes! Really nice ones that excite me. He's got a place in the league purely off of handle and court vision .

[FireDavidKahn]

Taller Ricky Rubio

[Axe]

He could be trash but i still believe he has potential to be better than kyle kuzma

[Sulico]

To be fair Lakers won just 3 years after drafting Lonzo 3rd overall.
Hornets will be 2023 NBA champions.

He does nothing special. There are better rookies out there. We get it he has the most followers but nikkas acting like they are the second coming of Magic have lost their mind.

Again I ask....who are you even talking to?

Where is this Ball hype about him being Magic Johnson?

Nobody is talking about any of the rookies.

Do you really not know? Do you ever read YouTube comments or listen to Lavar? Lavar said Lonzo is better than Curry. He also said LaMelo is the best of them all. That means LaMelo is way better than Curry. That doesn't sit right with NBA fans who actually know how good Curry actually is.

Everyone is sick of the Ball brothers and the hype. Especially considering LaMelo Gums and his push shot didn't cut it in weaker leagues. It's just funny to watch the weak legged Bambi struggle to stay on his own two feet with grown men. 26% is abysmal. He is garbage period.

[Kblaze8855]

Why would I be reading youtube comments or caring where a players father ranks him?

We checking for what Chris Pauls aunt has to say about his all time ranking?

Hating on a kid on ISH because of some....youtube comments and his dad being biased?

Almost everything said here(the people you can actually talk to) is negative but the people doing it are talking to Lavar Ball and random 9 year olds on youtube.....

The hater mentality is just not one ill ever get my head around.

Really? This is what drives the damn sport. The entire league depends on these narratives to make money. Everyone wants to see the players they hate lose. So while you sit there try to get your head around it the NBA is making billions off this simple idea. It's not about good family fun or the love of the game. Half of ISH has been Kobe and Lebron hate hate threads for over a decade.

There Being a lot of stupid people doesn’t explain individual stupid behavior. Sure irrational hate can generate interest.....it’s still weird as hell. Imagine someone hating you because your grandma thinks you’re better than an objective observer. At least tell me the kid is a douchebag or something.

Well there's also the weird fvcko LeBron stans who hate Lonzo because LeBron didnt make the playoffs so they blamed it on all the young guys. Hence the irrational hate for Lonzo and BI and even Kuzma. Even to this day, they slander Lonzo and anyone associated with him. Funny cause Lonzo loves LeBron and they had a good relationship. People are retards. Thats all it is. Except in this case, its mentally ill posters.

Yes, he is a douche. I've seen him on the Ball in the Family reality show the family produces. I have never liked LaMelo since I first saw him chucking up half court shots in games. It's ironic that he's known as a good passer because he was such a chucker years ago. There's also games of him talking shit to the other team only to get locked down by some random kid. His play has never deserved much praise. He is also extremely lucky he grew to 6'8 because he had 0 percent change of making without that growth spurt.

Lonzo actually proved he could play in college. I always though Lonzo was a bust but at least he had some NBA speed and playmaking ability. LaMelo wasn't even impressive against weak competition. We are seeing that play out right now too. He's a top 3 pick coming off the bench. That's humiliating.

Lamelo Ball is the Luigi to Jason Kidd's Mario.

He's like Kidd except instead of being a bull with a mean streak, he more like a... deer.

Rubio is like the JV version of him in my opinion. Lamelo looks like he has the talent to impose his will on a game more than Rubio. Get to his spots when he wants to.

He's different from Lonzo because Lonzo can't dribble or get where he wants to at all. Lonzo is more like Brent Barry than Jason Kidd. He belongs in the triangle.

Not optimistic about lamelo rn but i also feel that he will have an iconic moment once the hornets face the warriors next year, if stephen curry guards him that is.

[Kblaze8855]

So is he rookie of the year?
