LaMelo Ball Playing Streetball in the NBA 

Watching Melo makes me smile, kid absolutely earned his spot in the NBA and he's so comfortable being there. To ball like this against the elite is insane.

Melo plays as if he’s in the school gym during free period playing with his homies before going back to class. Just pure enjoyment & I love watching it.

I love that he sacrifices his own chances to score to let his teammates shine.

I must say, watching Melo is more entertaining than watching any other NBA player. He's quick and he's witty. And he scores! And his ball passing game is on point more than anybody else in the NBA.

Used to hate Lamelo for no reason ..but seeing him make it to the NBA is something special . The kid has talent , heart , and brings great crowd reaction. I hope he stays in charlotte for a while . Never seen the arena so packed and hyped in decades . I hope he wins an NBA title in the future

The Kid is honestly a genius, his passing, IQ, Hustle, shot, Drive, Handle, and Heart its all there... that family created a prodigy, even his Brothers said it repeatedly "the best out of all of us is Melo" crazy cause we saw him grow up through Chino Hills since he was like 15 playing Varsity as a starter, and winning championships, Insane!!.. I hope he gets a Title..

Dudes game is just crisp, crazy seeing him from a small kid to developing into such a natural player.

i honestly didn’t realise how crazy his highlights are already, he looks incredible while he plays. he makes the hornets look like a championship contending team

Idk what’s better … The LaMelo Highlights or the Hornets Commentators 😂😂😂😂💯

Dude!!! Look at how often LaMelo will pass before taking the shot! Seeing how much he includes his team mates in his success and how often he uses his skillset to make his teammates shine has me like "Man! I would TOTALLY want to play ball with someone like that!" The leadership skills are undeniable!

I'm not a huge basketball fan, but Melo makes it so much fun to watch. Some players just have that "it" factor and he's definitely one of them.

He has this unique and unpredictable style. Not boring to watch unlike those big names that don't pass the ball for them own fame.

His playing style is fun to watch.

You can tell LaMelo simply trusts he's playing with teammates who fully understand they're all professionals at the highest level of the sport. The flow is sick!!!🔥🤩🏀

The crazy part is that we all watched him grow up doing these same moves, and he still catches them. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

If he can stay healthy, elevate his game from this to even something more special, there is no doubt he will be one the best marketed players ever in the NBA. He's too fun to watch for people not want to throw their money at the franchise he plays for.

Lamelo's full court passing is incredible...you can see he had that skill when he was like 15 and in high school. I'd tell my brother he could make passes nba guards can't make. Obviously he does a lot of stuff a lot of other guards can't do, even good ones.

What I like about his playing is a) stealing/blocking ability - he has fingertips like a gecko b) he's not greedy with the ball, some of the passes are just better options, some are just flashy, but he looks at passes as valuable as points. I'll take his 3D ball playing over the 3-point ball game any day.

I'm rooting for LaMelo to be the next "GOAT".. I wanna see rings, season MVP's, all star MVP's, all that... Such an exciting player with tons of potential.

Joy, joy, joy, thrilling, creative, prodigious, team oriented, entertaining, real basketball! Carry on LaMello!

You can tell just by watching him play, he passes the vibe audit. Creative, open-minded, and with joy.

I went to Charlotte to see the Sixers play the Hornets, and LaMelo did not play that night, but before the game, they worked him out. It was JUST a workout, but his shooting and handles were off-the-charts. Just amazing! I love the modern game.

i feel like a proud father watching these kids grow up and mature into the ball players they are becoming. all solid balls.

Watching him in high school was crazy! Then Australia was good route he went! Amazing perfect passing! Deserved a nba ring one day!

One of the most artistic players in the nba, especially when he drives to the rim

This truly shows you that Melo was ALWAYS that kid growing up playing with the way older kids.. and he always held his own, same as today!

His energy level is 2x anybody else on the court, and 10x a lot of them. And what an incredible handle, laser-like passes... some violent poetry in motion!

I just hope he keeps playing with freedom as he does. It's never always going to pay off but the entertainment is the best in the nba. Thank you Mr Ball Sack.

I just love his playstyle, it just looks like he’s having fun all the time

This kid just makes me want to pick up a ball again

I never watched or played basketball all growing up. Only started plying the sport in college but Lamelo was always somebody that caught my eye even not watching the NBA at all. Family is now in NC so hornets are my team! It’s because of Mello mostly but he truly is fun to watch. Opened my eyes to the sport and now it’s fun to watch NBA games and play. Excited to get better overtime cause I’m 6’5 so I just gotta learn to jump 😂

I like how it doesn’t seem like he had to change his game if anything he just perfected it. He’s just too crafty. A lotta his decision making just seems so natural. I love the chemistry the hornets have with him, pj, miles, and I know it’s gonna happen eventually but I hope they don’t break up this young core . Even tho I do see him fitting into a few other teams systems just as well.

2:13 “DESIRE! HE JUST WANTED IT!” 😂😂 facts

I want him to recreate his point at half court shot. It would either be legendary or a meme

He's going to change the game. This new era of hoopers who've been making highlights since high school...it's going to be fun to watch

This kid is crazy good the passing shooting dribbles I mean he does it all for real. A real point guard

I really didn't know LaMelo could pass like that. He has a special feel for the game fr

He's moves look so fluid. It's awsome to watch

Very nice ball handling.He brings his own class into the game. -LaBall-

this makes me want to watch him live! what a beast!

It’s so fulfilling seeing him when everyone said his play style wasn’t going to translate to the league

He’s definitely a lot of fun to watch! Love the video!

This guy is Brilliant.. Definitely an All Star 💯

Imagine having Melo and Zion on the same team! Those alley-oops would be wild!!

He is just so fun to watch.

LaMelo is so smooth he looks like slow motion, but opponents can't keep up.

By far the most entertaining player to watch when he's on the ball. Insane IQ, handles and he plays so freely against elite players.

Awesome to watch. Hope his stats and defence match all that showtiming. Then he’ll surely be all-star

Oh man I've heard of this guy but I've never watched the Hornets play. I might check out their next game, because holy moly, this guy can BALL!

Lamelo passing and dribbling is just insane plus he can score

This guy is actually PLAYING. Everyone else too stiff and serious. Great to watch.

Can we also admire the Hornets court designs? Simply beautiful

Lamelos court vision is so good. Melo can literally do perfect passes and pull the attention from other defenders so his teammates have a open shot. He definitely is gunna be a 1st team all star soon

"Desire! He just wanted it!" literally defines Melo

I’ve been saying for years if this dude just gets around the right people, he would dominate.

I need announcers like this for my daily activities

Glad to see dude actually balling against all odds🙌🙌

Man I hope he stays healthy I’m not a hornets fan but I like watching him play.

Omg lamelo is such an amazing player why it seem like nobody talks about him that much. Hes the most exciting player too watch so much style, and skill and is a true team player.. it really shows how happy he is too just play basketball he respects the game more then most of these players and it shows hes electrifying and just absolutely brilliant too watch.. 👏 👍

Guy has such a unique rhythm to his play, glad he's around.

Lavar must be so proud of all his sons he raised, he raised them to be successful. It’s a shame that not every kid in this planet has a real dad like Lavar.

I need to see part 2. But this time to see how his defense is.

For some reason it looks like he makes things harder than they have to be. I hope his love for the razzle dazzle doesn't hold him back from becoming the best he can be. Certainly fun to watch. He has his own style.

the more experience he gets the better he becomes

We need more streetball style in the NBA

5:11 big ups to isaiah stewart, keeping a hand on him as he went down and helping him up.

Warms my heart seeing melo in the nba

This kid is so gifted he’s the best of the ball bros. Very talented

Wow that kid got mad skills, he was tearing that net up !!

One of the most entertaining point guards in the league right now.

Future MVP, no doubt!💪

Even the players receiving the ball are shocked

this guy makes me wanna play basketball

4:22 insane awareness of his teammates position with his back towards them

Looks like he's dropping dimes and making incredible shots. That's a rare combo playing street ball.

Being the younger brother helped him out a lot. Always a challenge now he’s better then both his brothers.

I love how he makes this money run show actually fun to watch

The energy difference between the home and away clips is astounding

I think he’s the perfect fit for the Charlotte Hornets! I mean they’re not even my team, but they give the best highlights night, and at night out🔥🔥.

Can we all thank LaMelo Ball for bring back street ball excitement fun entertaining basketball, and not the boring curry era of shooting the whole game dumbness and boredom... LaMelo thank you for bringing fun basketball back

October 20th 2023. Been watching Lamelo since high school. His game is too much fun to watch

Craziest highlight tape in the league. If he finds some consistency and better teammates they’ll go far.

This man’s highlight reel is gonna be insane

Lamelo is the definition of Just Play Your Game

He's only been here 3 years and he has so many amazing highlights

He’s playing like the era I grew up on. Actual sauce

After 2 minutes I saw all I needed to see. Legendary.

This is someone who's played basketball his whole life !

Lemelo just looks like he's just out there having fun

I love how the charlotte announcers go absolutely crazy every time he makes a play 😂😂

10% LaMelo plays 90% Commentators' reactions 🔥

Lamelo is honestly underrated no cap

Just having fun out there, bet them guys love having the youngin on the squad. Melo can blay all around and definitely is a play maker forsure. Hard to find players out there anymore that are just happy to be there and be part of the team💪

6:25 cleanest step back ever🥵

Pure talent and desire

Melo must be from Jersey or NY because we really hoop like the street ballers. I love to see him shining in the NBA, give more hope for people who come form “the streets” or urban areas to excel their way into the NBA as well. 🙏🏽

A salvação dos balls , lamelo carrega aquela família por muito , os irmãos dele nem de longe se comparam a ele

Feel like I'm watching a Kobe Bryant highlight reel. Unreal skill and potential.

Still hard to tell if he takes basketball seriously or just having fun

Can't believe he isn't talked about more than he is.
