the JBA all stars tour where they played European pros every game was so important for Melo's development. And the media always wants to leave it out. Playing 35+ minutes as a 16-17 year old versus seasoned pros and still balling out was what convinced me he'd be nice in the nba

@@ivey_96 that’s pretty awesome, how old were you when you found out? Does it make things easier to do? Has it ever caught someone by surprise like in beer pong? Sorry for all the questions lol being ambidextrous is really interesting to me.
I love how he didn't let him leave out the JBA.. People will go to great lengths to discredit a black man's contributions. Lavar changed the whole game with that if you look at what came from it.
Has nothing to do with him being black lol people reach so much nowadays. The JBA lasted like 2 years then they created the G league thats why the guy didn’t mention it. Lavar is the one who started the idea of the G league.

He's a really good interviewer and media personality already. I think he still has room to truly articulate. The more he devolops this skill, he has the early experiences to be the most valuable bball star minds ever to verbally portray his unicorn niche self.

Bruh... I'm fucking dyin. I thought Lavar made them change their hands so its good on the court, but nah its cause they were hitting his elbows LOLLLL.
I wish these sports companies hired more TH-camrs . These journalist always asked the same type of questions . I feel like I know more then they do just by being a fan.
i really like him he deserves the cars houses and watever he wants to buy..bcuz GOD told him he has to earn it it was a hard road for him but he kept at it until NBA realize this gut can ball..i hope he gives GOD thanks everyday for all his blessing....
I respect the lamelo games n how he carry himself but those like I can say about others but ugly as hell idk yall prolly nba sneaker heads ot sum if u want those
woah! he is left handed and uses right at home because of some discipline and now getting back to left since he left home for nba. Dude! you are good kid...
Some players play with their off hand mike Conley does it and Rudy gobert does it to. Me and my brother are left handed and both play with out right hand. But I use my left hand more. Besides me 3 pointers I use both for basically everything in basketball. I write with my right hand cause the pencil stuff smears on your hand when you use your left if you lefties know what I mean.
lebron is left handed but shoots with his right also. its called being cross dominant, its like a feel thing. you just do what feels the best, people like that tend to be really good passers and have good vision. also the best snipers in the military tend to be cross dominant
@@setira8081 fr man people really don’t look at his built and strength enough. I promise you if that China situation didn’t happen he would’ve been on an NBA team
This guy totally ignored the JBL Levar, his father started. Glad Melo mentioned it. I stopped watching the interview after that blunder on the part of the interviewer. The mainstream media loves to ignored BLACK EXCELLENCE.
It's great that people who are considered "minority" in today's society are getting more positive exposure, which is well deserved. But if you represent them in such a comical and insecure way it will bring more harm than good.
I’m sure people love how he’s relaxed during his interviews but I wish he’d give a little more detailed answers. Not like he’s just talking to his boys
I truly believe Lamello is the **REAL DEAL**...💯💯-- He loves to have fun, cut up, and seems to just LOVE the game of basketball. And, most of all; He has **A HUGE HEART** for God, and for the People!!! I pray He has nothing but success and greatness in life!!! 😊😊
My dad did the same thing, my grandma was left handed, it skipped a generation. My dad loves basketball, so he wanted me to play with both hands, now I can’t do things with my right hand and left. But I can shoot with both hands and can’t do a right hand lay up
With all the craziness going on In the world i find It unbelievable that people are worrying about the way he talks we are Individuals with our own Identity we are not robots people have been stripped of there identities let him be worry about all the crime going on In America today Is someone judged the way they speak Or should we look at someone character there goodness In there heart I didnt Know Speaking frankly Was one

Doesn’t he own that team

Is crazy tbh. Bc we saw them grow up 🆙. Is actually the first time I witness this. And tbh BBB is a solid family
Did they go to Townsend?

This is the most normal sounding I've ever heard him speak. Usually he sounds like a sound cloud rapper when giving interviews
Been rooting for the family glad they did it
The kid so humble. I was in a mall in Charlotte & I asked every shore store “where is the Lamelos”. Reply: We ain’t getting them no time soon
Same, out here in pheonix az, I went to 5 malls looking for them, checked each store, footlocker, champ, finishline, etc... but they all sold out

Imagine he starts shooting lefty and improves his shooting? lol 😆
Lavar and his mom shaped some great men overall regardless if they were nba players or not
Lavar funny Af. For that 😂🤣😂 you can imagine him telling them to eat at there other hand.
"I had the JBA too, my pops"
He has matured and grown up so much, not surprised to be fair being Lavar Balls son, very impressive young man.
In the old days most parents or teachers discouraged kids from using their left hand. It was a common practice
