his body movement looks a lot like Neymar in football
Beautiful video āØļø
Lamelo and Jordan Poole are first-team all-tank commander
That spin-lob is also a travel.
If only refs would learn the rulebook – we would have less of these clowns.
If NBA didnāt have an agenda, Wemby shouldāve been a Hornet. LaMelo has a naturally flashy game and is crazy charismatic. Heās Magic with more scoring and less control. He can be the face of US Hoops if he ever wants to be serious.
His playmaking is great. His defense sucks, his efficiency sucks. I'm glad to watch him on someone else's team.
Melo has the most charismatic game since Magic, who had the most charismatic game since Maravich. But this video skips over Magic because unlike Melo and Maravich, Magic was a winner.
Lamelo finally getting some recognition love to see it
Lamelo play ball like he in highschool terrible shot selection poor decision make and no defense you'll never win with his style
Dude is so frustrating to watch when you put money on the game. Legit I've stopped myself from betting the Hornets, just cuz I know imma lose my voice or have a aneurism cuz of that man
How much did the NBA pay you
The reason he plays like prime Jordan Poole is bc he's got the goat announcing for him
How tf did the Warriors pass on him for Wiseman because it was the better āfitā at the time! Fck Bob Myers man
1:15 modern NBA folks. Not only do the announcers ignore violations in sake of highlights and branding, these YouTubers and commenters and fans do too. Manufacturing highlights and stats
Overrated scrub
I don't think he'd be in the league in any other era but eh he got a TV show so we let him freestyle
wreckless play.. Brett Favre PG
If āthink outside the boxā was a basketball player
Steph curry to me is the one that broke basketball good & bad..he's the one that use to see doing all of this & lamelo going up watched it..could be wrong but thats what i see
5:52 the most unnecessary glaze bro why lol
The Warriors made a massive mistake picking Wiseman over Melo
Terrible
The Hornets are 2-10 when Lamelo scores 30+.
Just imagine having to coach this dude in anything but a lottery team
That Michael Jordan dunk, at 9:34 wow!
lamelo on the spurs has been in the back of my mind for awhile now
Im convinced that Pistol Peteās ghost has possessed Lamelo the past couple seasons. Heās literally just playing And 1 basketball out there
The warriors downfall started at getting wiseman or ball smh
I know he probably wouldnt have flourished like he did on the hornets
But he would have been a more refined player
And considering curry is starting to play like a 2nd option and melo is currently playing like a 1 option
It would have been perfect š
Mike Korzemba: "STEPH CURRY WITH A 40 INCH VERTICAL!!!!"
Lame Hello Ball? š
Pistol Pete literally looks like he came from the future
Good to see you getting sponsored if it means having less content being a paywall. Still don't mind a Patreon
Yeah Charlotte really has to try to get a real team out there in the next couple years. Lamelo is clearly good and continually being on a very meh team is not helping his development. I'd love to see the Hornets get it together.
He is talented af! But I cannot tell you guys how much I hate this guy.
Great analysis!
Heās being empowered by Charles Lee to open up his game and become that offensive engine we know he can beā¦ recordās not good now but this will help the rebuild immensely, shouldāve started his rookie year like this.
9:05 LMAO couldn't have chose a better guy to meme this move on than Gianni's
Stop glazing bruh heās just not good yall shouldāve just made a video about Trae young
