Andy, you forgot to mention Jamaal Wilkes, a silky smooth jumpshooter with the Lakers during the early 1980's with a career % 49.9 from the field and has one of the weirdest (but efficient) jumpshots ever in the history of the game itself.
As a Laker fan that watches almost every game I can add that Lonzo's knee problems have been happening since day one in his pro career. Lonzo missed the start of his rookie season and was getting cortizone injections in his knee's. His knee's have always been bad.
Gelo ball stealing and shoplifting in a foreign country is so bad bro you almost ruin your career and life you could have been in jail for ten years for that you could have had a decent career at UCLA if you didn’t shoplifting
Not just that, but I'm sure it really tanked his reputation as a hirable professional. If he was willing to steal in a foreign country where laws are probably harsher to him because he's a foreigner, and if he's willing to steal a miniscule value item, what's going to happen when he's put in a locker room with multi-millionaires with their belongings available for the taking?
Lanzo has legitimately worked his way into being one of the best shooters in the league. He deserves serious credit for this. Also, he is/was one of the best defensive players in the league If he never got hurt Bulls could have been contenders.
This is stupid, how many families have two players in the NBA making millions? There's no need for a last hope. Lonzo still has a good career ahead of him and Lamelo in balling off the charts.
I’m really devastated for Lonzo. Since he’s the eldest, he got everything at its worst: The unnecessary media attention brought on by LaVar, the bullying from other players even though he was still a ROOKIE, and what I really hated the most, was fhe stupid injuries he got from wearing those BBB’s. That really ruined his career especially early on but the impact of those injuries can really cost his career. Still rooting for him since he was drafted, because I know he still has some fight in him. Just hoping that his body cooperate too
Lamello was always their only hope. Lonzo was okay and Gelo was okay but made terrible decisions all the time and melo kept his head down and grinded it out to get to where he is despite all the goofy stuff his dad made him do. He proved he belongs where he’s at and needs a team built around him
Monteverde Academy ('19-'20 I believe) with Cade Cunningham, Scottie Barnes, Moses Moody, and a few more future NBA players was better than that Chino Hills team; it's not even debatable.
Not like he’s been winning or anything bro. Great individual stats but let’s how he does on a genuine team trying to win instead of whatever tf the hornets are
Honestly, LaMelo is still in White Chocolate territory. Yes the highlights are fun, but it's hard to actually be a serious contender when your point guard averages 43% from the field and has about four and a half turnovers per game.
Lavar didn’t get to where he’s at by being stupid. He knew exactly he was doing and saying all along. Shawn Marion was more than just “somewhat” effective btw. That shot looked odd but it when in a lot.
Gelo even gets blackballed here. All youtubers and media are told to speak bad about Gelo and they will get paid. Gelo was being Blackballed before the China incident.
Lamelo is still injury prone as Lonzo but I feel like Lamelo can lead his hornets somewhere in a couple seasons while lonzo can contribute to a contender or a good playoff team but how consistent
"WORST BALL BROTHER" IS KIND OF WILD, LiAngelo def. didnt pan out in the pros but put some respect on his name on chino hills he used to be the 2nd top scorer if i can remeber right if im wrong he was 1st
@@truongnd1 very passive aggressive bro relax 😂 numbers don’t lie he was THAT GUY in high school, he is obviously the worst ball brother right now but guess what..he did more in high school than you did in your whole life 😂😂 very angry and passive aggressive response go watch some hoops little boy
LaVar's boisterous attitude did not help Lonzo get any good hype - I think if anything, before the injuries, Lonzo had a target put on his back because of his old man. I think LaVar learned his lesson with Liangelo and Lamelo, but we'll see how things shape out from here on out.
I've always been high on LaMelo stocks. He's an amazing guard. The new CP3. He just has to stay healthy for a full season and he's definitely making all star. IMO the only 2 guards who are 100% better are Shai and Tatum. It's a toss up with Ant and Luka. For me Melo was hella overrated so I couldn't care less about him and Ball deserves the name just as much if not more. He's a more efficient and talented player and isn't a diva. I'd love to see Melo win the scoring title this year. Lonzo was getting really good before his last injury which derailed his whole career. Those kids are just very unlucky with injuries.
Their father was always their biggest "enemy". Hyping them up, even before the draft, speaking arrogantly all the time, creating huge burden on them... TBH I hated them even before they joined NBA, because of that clown... It seems that at least 2 of them may have been a good players, with their own 'histories' but it seems that they will never get rid of the reputation their father granted them...
if we're talking about shoes that cause career ending injuries...D. ROSE'S ADIDAS WERE EXACTLY THAT!! EVERY D ROSE ADIDAS I HOOPED IN AS A KID I ROLLED MY ANKLE IN THE WORSE WAY POSSIBLE...IN NIKES? NEVER, BOOM D ROSE CARRER ENDS....I CAN PROMISE YOU ADIDAS' SHOES ENDED D ROSE'S CAREER (felt like i needed to share this 15+ old investigation I have been conducting)
I think Lamelo Ball could be the sole survivor of the Ball family and he could be the face of Charlotte Hornets and of course,a future legend of the basketball team,good friends!!!👍🏾
Luckily Lonzo made $114M while his knees turned to dust. TBH, we don't even know is LaMelo can stay healthy, cuz he's missed a ton of time with his bad ankles.
Lonzo was still the more talented brother , he had Lamelo’s skill but with superior athletism and defense ,its jst unfortunate that his body gave out after he had fixed his only weakness
Obviously lamelo in Lonzo share the same body type and I'm not just saying they both share the same diet their bodies are built different... Even LeVar Ball said that Le'Angelo is his favorite because he's most like him. All this doesn't (have) the discipline is complete crap. It's like saying there's something wrong with Kevin Durant for not gaining weight and building more muscle
Any adult human who can make money playing a kids game has succeeded in the sports world. All three of these boys did amazing any dad would be proud of all of them, maybe except for the trying to steal something while in china thing.

Everyone averages 30 in 2024. Is he a winner is the question.
@@King_Stanton Spoken like someone who doesn't watch the games
Lamelo has finally got his chino hills confidence in the NBA
finally got shoes that dont destroy his ankles
wym finally
@Liverpool-wi4lb he never scored like he is this season
@@Maxjuliannbrother he made an all star team in his second season
He been had it he just been hurt
Bet needed a video for lunch
same. sup, east coast homie?
@ you know it
u're so real for that
Melo been a special player since the good old chino hills days 🔥
11:37 "I won't call another player Melo" Brudda... his name is literally LaMelo, like what r u on 😂😂
He’s sipping on hater-ade
He's a Knicks fan idk what you expect, and it's not that deep anyways
fr these basketball youtubers really think they are on par with nba reporters themselves 😂
He was on some weird cornball shit the whole video and that was the icing on the cake
How long did it take you to figure out his name is LaMelo and not Melo.
Andy, you forgot to mention Jamaal Wilkes, a silky smooth jumpshooter with the Lakers during the early 1980's with a career % 49.9 from the field and has one of the weirdest (but efficient) jumpshots ever in the history of the game itself.
Random Carmelo glaze mid video
He's right tho can't have 2 Melos
I'd rather have none@@equalspro
😂😂😂
@@equalsproI mean Melo himself said Melo can have the name too, actually in that sentence alone yeah we'll just keep em separate
Lamelo fanboys the most sensitive of them all. My goodness…
Hope he keeps a general clean bill of health, he’s too fun to watch
As a Laker fan that watches almost every game I can add that Lonzo's knee problems have been happening since day one in his pro career. Lonzo missed the start of his rookie season and was getting cortizone injections in his knee's. His knee's have always been bad.
Gelo ball stealing and shoplifting in a foreign country is so bad bro you almost ruin your career and life you could have been in jail for ten years for that you could have had a decent career at UCLA if you didn’t shoplifting
We shouldn’t have freed him either, only got freed cuz of his privilege
Not just that, but I'm sure it really tanked his reputation as a hirable professional. If he was willing to steal in a foreign country where laws are probably harsher to him because he's a foreigner, and if he's willing to steal a miniscule value item, what's going to happen when he's put in a locker room with multi-millionaires with their belongings available for the taking?
1:53 i felt that
We watched this brother grow right before our very eyes.
Thank you for the Me7o appreciation! I like LaMelo, but there can only be one Me7o. Carmelo Anthony is so underrated and underappreciated.
Lanzo has legitimately worked his way into being one of the best shooters in the league. He deserves serious credit for this. Also, he is/was one of the best defensive players in the league If he never got hurt Bulls could have been contenders.
It’s pretty ironic how their jersey numbers in chino hills reflect the order of who’s the best player. 1st Lamelo 2nd Lonzo and 3rd Gelo
my fav young pg when healthy
He’s been healthy this year
I always say LiAngelo should have went down the football route instead of basketball
14:57 lamelo time traveling to the future
Hope he stays healthy
my brothers and I all played on our high school team together at the same time, we were starters, our team wasnt good lol.
Lamelo was always the hope. He was far talented that the two brothers , believe me I’ve watched this kid for a long time
With Lonzo's future remains to be seen, it's now LaMelo carrying the load in the Ball family.
Lonzos story is finished. He either stays healthy and is a role player or doesn’t and retires early
Carrying the load is a fat reach certainly has the best basketball career in the family but the family is very well off
This is stupid, how many families have two players in the NBA making millions?
There's no need for a last hope.
Lonzo still has a good career ahead of him and Lamelo in balling off the charts.
Wow. This guy can tell stories..beautiful!
Lamelo's new hype men? The hornets announcers
I’m really devastated for Lonzo. Since he’s the eldest, he got everything at its worst: The unnecessary media attention brought on by LaVar, the bullying from other players even though he was still a ROOKIE, and what I really hated the most, was fhe stupid injuries he got from wearing those BBB’s. That really ruined his career especially early on but the impact of those injuries can really cost his career. Still rooting for him since he was drafted, because I know he still has some fight in him. Just hoping that his body cooperate too
If Lonzo stayed healthy, he might be the most coveted non-all star to any championship teams,
Well if he gets healthy
Can we all agree young LaMelo looked _a lot_ like Butt-Head?
😂😂😂😂😂
Lamello was always their only hope. Lonzo was okay and Gelo was okay but made terrible decisions all the time and melo kept his head down and grinded it out to get to where he is despite all the goofy stuff his dad made him do. He proved he belongs where he’s at and needs a team built around him
Great video Andy !👏🏿 looking forward to watching Lamelo grow & praying Lonzo recovers
Monteverde Academy ('19-'20 I believe) with Cade Cunningham, Scottie Barnes, Moses Moody, and a few more future NBA players was better than that Chino Hills team; it's not even debatable.
Melo play style is still the same. Funny how people said it wouldn’t translate… haters pretty quiet now😂
Not like he’s been winning or anything bro. Great individual stats but let’s how he does on a genuine team trying to win instead of whatever tf the hornets are

@@johndebono1870As a Kings fan, I dont recall Jason Williams ever averaging 31 PPG....
While Lonzo’s body hasn’t been kind to him with all the injuries plus Liangelo disinterested in basketball, the ball family is clinging on to Lamelo.
9:03 shoulda included a RVD pic after that "one of a kind" 😂
The words you used for Liangelo were so cruel.
@@nothembajozi2862 and then he’ll be the first to say how admirable they were when something bad happens. these youtubers are hoes man
Deserved tho
You could use the same words for every hooper that didn't make the league. Not a big deal. Not cruel. Just reality
Cry about it
When he dropped 92 is when I knew he was a legend 😂💯💪🏼
dropping the "fix his stroke" is diabolical
Lavar didn’t get to where he’s at by being stupid. He knew exactly he was doing and saying all along. Shawn Marion was more than just “somewhat” effective btw. That shot looked odd but it when in a lot.
People can't look past his gimmicks but Lavar is a marketing genius 😂
Lamelo is the future of the NBA
Good to see if he can actually end up winning more games and maybe do something in the playoffs.
Gelo even gets blackballed here. All youtubers and media are told to speak bad about Gelo and they will get paid. Gelo was being Blackballed before the China incident.
Lamelo is still injury prone as Lonzo but I feel like Lamelo can lead his hornets somewhere in a couple seasons while lonzo can contribute to a contender or a good playoff team but how consistent
Lamelo ball being the youngest always had to play up to his brothers not surprised
If lamelo wins a chip he’s officially the new and only melo
I wanna know when Lavar said Gelo wasn’t going to make the NBA, i don’t recall him ever saying any of his boys would never make the NBA😂😂
LiAngelo was never the biggest laughing stock in the family. That honor goes to their screaming, overhyping and destructive father.
They’re successful that all that matters
LaVar Ball shooting percentage: 33%
"WORST BALL BROTHER" IS KIND OF WILD, LiAngelo def. didnt pan out in the pros but put some respect on his name on chino hills he used to be the 2nd top scorer if i can remeber right if im wrong he was 1st
he is garbage stop giving him any kind of hope ... he deserves NO RESPECT
Where's the lie
@@truongnd1 all I’m saying is he was a guy on chino hills

Do a video about the disastrous start to the season by the Philadelphia 76ers.
Bro he been they only hope sense way back lonzo woulda been a top roll player but Melo was always gonna be the star
lol, now that u mentioned it. Melo has his Denver number memory replaced by jokic, now his nickname melo is also mixed with Lamelo LOL
Bill whatever that form is 😂

2017 Draft was one of a kind... His name is Jayson Tatum..
Lonzo done well enough for himself , regardless. But cool for Melo being good
He keeps calling them "The Ball Family" because refering to them as The Balls just sounds too weird.
I've always been high on LaMelo stocks. He's an amazing guard. The new CP3. He just has to stay healthy for a full season and he's definitely making all star. IMO the only 2 guards who are 100% better are Shai and Tatum. It's a toss up with Ant and Luka.

It's weird that almost always, of 3 brothers, the oldest will be good, the middle one will not be succesful and the youngest will be the best.
no other sports family?
Did the mannings stop existing?
That Ball injury curse better stay away.
Their father was always their biggest "enemy". Hyping them up, even before the draft, speaking arrogantly all the time, creating huge burden on them...

Fire vid
Lamelo cap if he really says he’s 6’7
He’s like 6’5
If I recall correctly, LaVar always said LaMelo was the best of the three brothers, no?
Lavar made 3 kids, 3 chances to make it to the NBA. smart move.
I bet no one remembers when the Ball family was featured on WWE and Lamelo said the n word on live television😂😂
Healthy Lonzo and unhinged Lamelo would've been GOAT
Sorry Andy, not going buy wireless headphones 😆 I'm too old school
I think Lamelo Ball could be the sole survivor of the Ball family and he could be the face of Charlotte Hornets and of course,a future legend of the basketball team,good friends!!!👍🏾
Luckily Lonzo made $114M while his knees turned to dust. TBH, we don't even know is LaMelo can stay healthy, cuz he's missed a ton of time with his bad ankles.
He balling out this year too
Thumbnail makes it seem like the other Ball brothers are dead and LaMelo is the only one left lol
Hornets moved from Kemba and started the rebuilding process... That franchise was born rebuilding 😂
The moment LeMelo Ball becomes a serious championship contender is the moment LiAngelo Ball makes it to the NBA 🤣
lavar been saying lamelo was gonna be the best one
Lamar said LaMelo would be the best of the three.
dont let Lavar see this vid😂 he gonna start talking again
Lonzo was still the more talented brother , he had Lamelo’s skill but with superior athletism and defense ,its jst unfortunate that his body gave out after he had fixed his only weakness

carmelo is not letting bro hit
Lonzo and liangelo were prototypes/experiments by lavar.
Lamelo become the finished product.
Lamelo is what penny was supposed to be
Still rooting for Lonzo though!
On the first sentence. In terms of scrutinization sure, but in terms of recognition, would it not be the Watt family?
Any adult human who can make money playing a kids game has succeeded in the sports world. All three of these boys did amazing any dad would be proud of all of them, maybe except for the trying to steal something while in china thing.
LiAngelo did not even played good minutes here in Mexico 😭 looked really terrible
Lonzo is still good too don’t forget that
Liangelo did play with the hornets doe lol
Tbh gelo should’ve just played football
Jesus man you are brutally harsh on Liangelo
Can we just calls them The Balls from now on?
liangelo shouldve been put in football he couldve been good and a serious prospect
FREE GELO
lmao I was just watching melo last night
Gelo should’ve tired Football fr
Dawg they're all rich. They won
Lavar spoke as if he is the expert but can't even manage proper diet for his kids 😂😂 ruining the things he build up himself
Gelo shoudl have played foot ball he would been a got tight end 🥂
Most scrutinized sports family:
• Ball (NBA);
• (Lebron) James (NBA)
-Most- successful sports family:
• Manning (NFL)
• Curry (NBA)
• Gasol (NBA)
• Williams sisters (tennis)
• Schumacher brothers (Formula 1)
He should ask for a trade, he’s never going to win on the Hornets.
Love watching Melo.
Wish he was stolen by the celtics.
