Lavar puts on an act during interviews to promote his kids for success. I remember seeing clips of him yelling at LaMelo for talking disrespectfully about women. He raised them the right way.
man lavar is super proud for sure. He’s been off the social media since his boys got in the league. Just chilling at home and praising his master plan 😂
That kid had unlimited confidence from the jump. Playing with his brothers against guys their age didn't impress him one bit.. he was used to play against lonzo while being half his size. Melo never lost that crazy confidence. Also thanks to Lavar ofcourse, he raised his sons right.
@@messiahtheskater How many points did you "cherry pick"... You can't fault a scorer for exploiting bad defense. LaMelo is averaging 31ppg at the highest level of the sport with good splits regardless of our opinions.
LaMelo was groomed to be a superstar. Alot of peopld dont understand all Lamelo does is play basketball. To the point where even if he play the game he gon play 2K. All he thinks about is basketball. He literally does nothing else but play basketball.
@@716JG nah Lavar got on his ass for playing fortnite in the middle of the night all those reality show seasons. You right him being bred to be a star tho. Playing Lonzo being half his size very day as a kid, a Lonzo that was an elite PG defender as a rookie. Lamelo never had a reason to be intimidated. Not in in europe, australia and the NBA. Being tall now himselt it probably feels s lot easier then back then. Thats how his unlimited do confidence was built with his dads help
Some of y’all hating hard in these comments. Zo may not have been as promised but he’s a damn good player. He just hasn’t been able to be healthy. If you wanna bring up the record of the Hornets I need y’all to seriously take a look at Charlotte organization. They’ve gone to the playoffs once in the last 10 years, have never built a consistent playoff team, don’t develop players, and consistently make the wrong picks in the draft. It’s not him it’s them.
The kid was never intimidated playing as a kid vs grown men in lithuania, australia and the NBA. He was used to be defended by Lonzo 1on1 since he was half his size. Lonzo was an elite NBA defender as a rookie. Why would he Melo be intimidated? He probably noticed at every step that it was a lot easier than he thought
its the classic is he going to be a hero or a goat? due to Melos success, Lavar is starting to be seen a the hero for taking the steps he took to set Melo up. but if Melo flopped in the league, Lavars now a goat for wasting Melos childhood.
@7:06 It always makes me feel old when I see DC The Don still playing basketball, crazy how he went from a promising basketball player to a fire rapper, he was gone shine regardless of what he choose tho I'm sure of it.
i see what you're saying but pointing at the logo is crazy. even if he didnt really celebrate. if someone did that to me i wouldn't feel like a loser i'd be like this dude is different
Why I feel like a proud father watching his career from high school. I freaking almost cried when I saw Lonzo was gonna play this year 😂😂 shits wild mfs be invested it’s better than other shit I guess
Shit is the craziest thing to watch 😭😭my favorite fact about lamelo is that he was driving a lambo at 16. It’s so fire to see someone who’s spoiled and has everything still come out to be a dawg. It’s almost like a reverse underdog story 🤣 but at the same time bro always played up in comp so he never really had it easy on the court.Meanwhile bronny is what could’ve been Melos story, everyone was saying melo was a gimmicky hooper but ultimately bro was better than everyone in his class and should been ranked #1 on every ranking. lol idk it’s just a fire story imo. Some could argue melo had more hype than bronny, Zion, Ben Simmons and a lot of these other social media stars coming into the league too 🤷🏻♂️
It’s just destiny the underdog story never been super realistic lol most people dealt bad card the deficit is just wide to come back you got those few who are able to make something incredible of themselves but think about it LeBron was known as amazing at basketball for a long time in his life it was destiny for him to be great wasn’t a underdog story, and most guys was like that lol same thing with lamelo he was always known as amazing he was destined to be what he is I can see if he wasn’t great in high school then made strides to be great and does incredible in college and in the league like a few people some of the closest things to underdog stories in nba greats is Steph known as small weak didn’t have a shot adequate for the professional game he worked ridiculously hard got his weight up made his shooting form virtually unstoppable revolutionized the one motion shot and 3pt shooting in general and Gilbert arenas wasn’t known as great for a super long time before getting in the league then worked to become pretty damn good in college and was fantastic in league
Melo definitely didn't have the hype Bronny had. Nobody else in bronnys class was even talked about and he's complete dogshit. It does make sense tho, the son of arguably the greatest of all time
Putting Zion in the same sentence with Bronny, Ben Simmons, and “social media star” is insane ngl. Bruh was averaging like 27 a game on 60% shooting in his second year 😭

He ever gets to a large market he’ll get more exposure. Hornets are in Duke & N Carolina country , kinda hard to make those fans get feverish with so much high level ball being played there.
@ exactly what I have planned lol. Been saying it for a couple years now, if Alonzo ends up back there by trade deadline my plan will be flawless. After Lebron retires after next season , Melo will be a free agent or close to it , we’ll have good money to spend .
@@MrJukeMasterDBDif u know hoops u knew melo was destined for greatness. Anyone that plays up multiple levels from their age group is damn near going pro somewhere
8:20 Lavar was instilling killer instinct and a strong mindset and work ethic into the kid. And he'll blame shoes it needed to make sure a bad performance or injury will never affect their confidence, belief or trust in themselves. Genius dad
All this praise from these big reporters for LaMelo but when Lavar spoke of his boys they belittled him and said its impossible. I never heard no apology or applause after Melo got drafted even less when LiAngelo got into the G-League Also, i love how Lavar backed off once they got into the league, despite being cancelled he still stayed quiet and supports his boys outside proving he always had a master plan
I wish we all had parents who advocated for us, and imparted the knowledge and tools we need to succeed. Yet another example of why men are needed in the house.
10:33 Time Stamp ... *NO SIR, IT's NOT...* "quite weird" that you haven't seen videos from ESPN on Lamelo Ball. They ignore: Lamelo Ball, Jalen Johnson (Hawks), Zacharrie Ricassharie (Hawks), DeAron Fox (Kings) and all of the young promising talent in the league to focus on GARBAGE BRONNY JAMES. And that is a fact.
Lavar did not just teach his sons to be a good player but to be humble and have a good attitude to other people..lavar is tough but his sons respect theirs parents❤
A lot of people think "Oh if you don't have a proper education then your life will amount to nothing". But people forget that the little time we have on earth is short, if someone wants to devote their life to ONE thing that makes them happy, why not let them ya know. Back in the day people who had their life dedicated to a trade were seen as dedicated, hard workers.
Lamelo is fulfilling young Kyrie’s role in the league. Not in the way the handle the ball. In the way that we can tune in to any game and know we can pay $5,000 for a ticket and be well worth it. Dude is magic. I hope yall agree with the role
Trust me as someone who grew up in Chino and played against the ball brothers my entire time in High School I can honestly say he has been saying this since 2014 😂
LaMelo Ball is one of the most electrifying young stars in the NBA, known for his dynamic playmaking, court vision, and creativity on the basketball court. Born on August 22, 2001, in Anaheim, California, LaMelo grew up in a basketball-centric family. He is the youngest of the three Ball brothers, all of whom were guided by their father, LaVar Ball, who famously championed their skills and potential. From an early age, LaMelo displayed an innate talent for the game, often playing against older competition, including his brothers, Lonzo and LiAngelo. LaMelo first gained national attention during his high school years at Chino Hills High School, where he played alongside his brothers. The team became a national powerhouse, and LaMelo's flashy style, including a memorable 92-point game, made him a viral sensation. After leaving high school early, his unconventional path to the NBA saw him bypass college basketball. Instead, he played professionally overseas, first in Lithuania and later in Australia with the Illawarra Hawks of the NBL. His time in Australia cemented his status as a top NBA prospect, as he showcased his ability to compete against seasoned professionals. In the 2020 NBA Draft, LaMelo was selected third overall by the Charlotte Hornets, fulfilling his dream of playing in the league. He made an immediate impact in his rookie season, dazzling fans and analysts with his highlight-reel passes, scoring ability, and poise beyond his years. LaMelo's standout performances earned him the NBA Rookie of the Year award for the 2020-2021 season, solidifying his place as one of the most promising young talents in the league. Off the court, LaMelo is known for his vibrant personality and sense of style. He has embraced his role as a young cultural icon, frequently making headlines for his fashion choices and endorsements. His signature shoe line with Puma has further elevated his profile, making him one of the most marketable players of his generation. Despite his fame, LaMelo has remained focused on his development as a player, continuously working to refine his skills and lead his team to success. As of today, LaMelo Ball continues to be a centerpiece for the Charlotte Hornets, embodying their hopes for the future. With his unique blend of talent, charisma, and work ethic, he has the potential to become one of the league’s premier players. Fans and analysts alike eagerly watch his career unfold, confident that he will leave an indelible mark on the NBA. LaMelo’s journey is a testament to his resilience, adaptability, and the boundless possibilities for those who dare to forge their own path.
The only thing Melo is missing from leaving school early is knowing how to talk in interviews. He’s one of the dumbest sounding guys in the league because of that.
Jordan an kobe had a speech problem during interviews always Say UMM ummm UMM. So wht Melo like to curse long as he keeps draining those balls pause. I love whn he talks it's just being regular. Let the sorry dude on team talk Melo u keep dropping those f bombs
That’s how it is with siblings , the youngest always comes out better . But only because they need to do more than the older siblings to be noticed. It’s a different type of hard work.
A lot of things went right for melo, that being said I’m very happy that they did. I believe he absolutely took Lonzo’s advice going to Spire and going to Australia. Then you have gelo who won’t listen to a word Lonzo says and just wants to play in the G
Best thing that ever happened to the Lamelo was falling off the mock drafts. It forced him to take things seriously. Talent was never an issue with him it was always going to be about his mentality
I think the man reason he's not being talked about is because he's hooping in Charlotte. And as someone who lives here, you rarely hear anybody talk about the Hornets. At least from my experience. I think we gave up on our pro team a while ago. Haven't been to the arena since they we're called the Charlotte Bobcats. I think if he we're hooping in Atlanta or a city like OKC, his buzz would be off the charts.
If I was 6' 7", my parents would have flown me overseas too to focus on bball but my ass is barely 6'0, us lil guys are a dime a dozen on the middle a d high school bball leagues and I learned early it was just exercise and a hobby it really is a tall guys game if you want to take it that seriously as a career choice. If you are gifted with height and athleticism try your best cause everyone doesn't get that chance, good dad for supporting his kids like that, its not easy getting into the nba. Look at all the leagues worldwide, loads of players that never make it.
they not pushing LaMelo because their next face was gon be Ja and Zion and now they're looking at Ant. Its like Neymar, Neymar never got pushed by the media bc Messi and Ronaldo was still there and when it got time to push Neymar they instead pushed Mbappe. The game is rigged, if Kids start buying LaMelo jerseys they gon push him more.
From 3:26 - 3:36 you said the word "obviously" four times... In ten seconds... My lord dude, improve your manner of speaking if youre going to be a commentator.
Btw I know he was the no. 3 pick in 2020, but that's not the main point

Jordan an kobe had a speech problem during interviews always Say UMM ummm UMM. So wht Melo like to curse long as he keeps draining those balls pause. I love whn he talks it's just being regular. Let the sorry dude on team talk Melo u keep dropping those f bombs
Lavar is a great dad! Well done my G 👌🏻
Bro said ALOT of things so it's just an amount of time before he's was right about a single thing
Wise by numbers?
He's been my top player since he got in the NBA
I NEVER GAVE UP ON THE BALL BROTHERS!!!!
SOCAL STAND UP!!!!!
That’s how it is with siblings , the youngest always comes out better . But only because they need to do more than the older siblings to be noticed. It’s a different type of hard work.
Just now learning that his middle name is LaFrance.
A lot of things went right for melo, that being said I’m very happy that they did. I believe he absolutely took Lonzo’s advice going to Spire and going to Australia. Then you have gelo who won’t listen to a word Lonzo says and just wants to play in the G
Of course he was right he’s the father who raised them since birth
lol this mans voice is hilariously af
Aye that’s how a man raise his kids! He had 3 boys ain’t no soft shxt!
LeMelo could be the best player in the NBA in a couple of years.
Jokic will only be 30 by then.
@@onlydbraskojokic turns 30 next year
Correction in 3 months
I’m not a Miami heat fan but I would love to see lamelo play for the heat and see how he performs under their systems
Future champ, calling it now
That kid is awesome he just need help over there he's literally carrying that team on his shoulders
Offcourse he was he’s been their watching him training and etc all his life along with his brothers
"I told you so" -Lavar Ball
Love the Ball brothers but the baby is looking like the oldest right now. He must have all the pressure on him. God Bless and protect him.
bro ur glazing him so hard lmao
Melo and BMill taking 33 shots from three between those two is disgusting. Hornets going absolutely nowhere.
Best thing that ever happened to the Lamelo was falling off the mock drafts. It forced him to take things seriously. Talent was never an issue with him it was always going to be about his mentality
I think the man reason he's not being talked about is because he's hooping in Charlotte. And as someone who lives here, you rarely hear anybody talk about the Hornets. At least from my experience. I think we gave up on our pro team a while ago. Haven't been to the arena since they we're called the Charlotte Bobcats. I think if he we're hooping in Atlanta or a city like OKC, his buzz would be off the charts.
If I was 6' 7", my parents would have flown me overseas too to focus on bball but my ass is barely 6'0, us lil guys are a dime a dozen on the middle a d high school bball leagues and I learned early it was just exercise and a hobby it really is a tall guys game if you want to take it that seriously as a career choice. If you are gifted with height and athleticism try your best cause everyone doesn't get that chance, good dad for supporting his kids like that, its not easy getting into the nba. Look at all the leagues worldwide, loads of players that never make it.
He was wrong about 10000 things too😂😂
they not pushing LaMelo because their next face was gon be Ja and Zion and now they're looking at Ant. Its like Neymar, Neymar never got pushed by the media bc Messi and Ronaldo was still there and when it got time to push Neymar they instead pushed Mbappe. The game is rigged, if Kids start buying LaMelo jerseys they gon push him more.
He pumping the hell out of those shoes may sound crazy butvhe has more color was than jordan already
Lamelo is Aomine lol
From 3:26 - 3:36 you said the word "obviously" four times... In ten seconds... My lord dude, improve your manner of speaking if youre going to be a commentator.
He got the curry ankle brace boost
They don't talk about him much because that just makes his father right so it's deliberately done so it's personal.😢
Lamelo is the FUTURE of Basketball Ball! He's an ALL AMERICAN ICON
Bro is a literal lion
After the coach benched him that’s just i provoked a fire and him. I feel like he performs better when his back against the wall
Every time I see Lamelo I remember how Golden state fck up big getting Wiseman.
