He needs to keep the weight and get bigger
Damn those jerseys are fire! I just realized 😅
That mfn hooping . Wish they can go far in the postseason
2:52 3:49 anybody know this song?
Lamelo a beast when he healthy 🔥
Scores the game sealing shots against his former high school teammate 🔥
its crazy he does not jump to shoot he just shoots off his toes 😂
Raining step back 3s, no look dimes, half court lobs, a double double and a clutch 3ball in a 6’10 center’s face to seal the game.. yea that boy different
bro barely jumps when shooting lmao
They hate melo cuz he good without sweating
He hit the boy with the hoodie, there's a reason he's hiding
Man that white boy can shoot. You get Melo some shooters rounds him, he will find them, and it’s game over.
This man had 21 at halftime with 9 from 7 from 3 dude didn’t attempted a shot in the 3rd quarter lol 😂
Lamelo is such a puzzle man… As talented and gifted as he is he only plays half a season every year. He should have multiple all stars by now and a solid playoff cache. He’s still young but I hope he doesn’t become one of those what if stories. I’ll enjoy watching either way 💯
They would’ve nearly beat any team tonight they way they played 🔥
Literally just boosting his trade value which was way down all season 😂
Man just standing and shooting them 3's
Jokic jumps higher than Lamelo when he shoots 😂
The Charlotte Lakers 😂
He's a great player. I hope he stays healthy all season long. Love to watch him play great basketball

White boy era
Man his game has matured. Setting screen's for team mates and giving up that extra pass to the open corner at every opportunity. Love to see this from him.
