Melo is just a big ole kid living his dream. And we all got to experience since he was 15 years old. To watch his journey til now, makes me happy for him
@@NoCluYT fr tho, after melo won ROY it'll be interesting to see if other players go the same route he did to get some pro experience or once hs directly to nba starts if they'll just do that instead.
We needed this in Charlotte, man. Glad he’s with us and having fun, and actually playing hard. I was a little worried that he would want to get out too badly to play well.
Love the confidence of Lamelo and Anthony Edwards. They’re gonna be the best personalities in the league. So much talent between them. Don’t sleep on Halliburton either he’s nice
Umm... LaMelo is the star, not his pops. Do Jokic's parents get a shoutout? Rudy Gobert? Oh wait.. you don't know anything about them because nobody told you... my bad..
@@I.am_Groot awww you mad that a black father is getting the credit he deserves? Did Jokic or Gobbert father have 2 sons drafted in the NBA lottery or no?
@@Pharohjonez23 So that is your criteria for greatness? Gotta have 2 sons in the NBA? You heard of the Curry brothers? One just had 36 tonight in a playoff game, the other.. well he pretty good too. Maybe the Gasol brothers? Both have rings. And just to add some spice they have a 3rd brother not quite good enough to get into the NBA. Hmm.. Interesting! Have you ASSumed that I am not black? Not a father? You have obviously (and incorrectly in my opinion) given LaVar credit for NBA genetics of which he has NONE. Dude was not great at basketball, but Tina they mom was pretty good. Oh but she not a black father so you don't recognize. I got ya.. 'bro'
@@I.am_Groot Its over your head. You dont understand. But why say anything opposing what I said. It makes no sense. This is a positive moment for the ball family. Your obviously young and inexperienced in life.
Man that's what's up! I just knew Lamelo was going to get it and I'm glad to see him get it! It was so fun and exciting watching him play this year and even though they didn't make the playoffs I'm still looking forward to seeing him next season
Lamelo and miles look like theyre real buddies. Hope this translates more on the court. Loved watching the hornets this season. Excited for the next season. Well deserved. This should also lyt a fire in ant. Also excited for the wolves. Bright future nba.
Bruh he is this generation torch bearer he has the confidence and skillset plus he genuinely loves the game not to mention his energy and ego are extremely contagious so his teammates will always go to war without questions
I knew he was going to be Rookie of The Year from the beginning but after his injury it was up in the air,he did win few months of Rookie of the Month but it was either him or Edwards
LaMelo has had to earn it at every level. His road was little longer and harder than most, but he had fans early on. This young man is already showing signs of greatness. ROY 2021... All-Star next year...
Honestly, this kid feels like a little brother to me the way I followed him from all these years. I can't believe how proud the Ball family is when I'm this proud of this boy, let's keep grinding and keep the ball going bro!
LaMelo to me is undeniably going to be the best Ball brother and it should be no surprise. He had first hand experience watching how wrong moves hurt Lonzo and ruined LiAngelo and now is making moves to ensure he doesn’t end up in the same situation.
Congrats Melo! You deserve it! Not only you played well but you make your team, a team to watch. I've enjoyed watching Hornets Basketball eventhough I'm a Lakers fan. Keep it up!
Media ain't got no business doing awards. Ball missed 20 games but Embiid don't get mvp cause he missed 20 games. League and players gotta do something about this!
Ngl, I was one of those doubters who didn’t think Lamelo had what it takes to become a great NBA player (mainly because of how Lavar Ball was actin’) but boy was I wrong, and I ain’t even mad, I’m happy this young man proved that he has what it takes to become a superstar in this league! Props Lamelo #2021RookieOfTheYear 💪🏼😎🏀🔥
Man if only Lonzo had his confidence
Lamelo would still be better. More naturally skilled imo
with this comment and the fools that liked it...yall clearly havent watched any basketball this season...
Confidence is EVERYTHING.
@@Andre14615 I mean we haven’t really seen any potential from second picks recently, aside from Ja Morant and James Wiseman.

Lamelo’s future so bright, he had to wear the shades.
Ur right nice joke
Shout out Chris D’elia.

Mello and Bridges is the typa friends that when it’s the time to not laugh they’ll just laugh
Congrats LaMelo Ball on winning the ROTY award. 🙂👍
I'm surprised that Lavar's been kinda quiet with the way Melo showed up to the NBA
I'm surprised that Melo didn't say 'Facts' in this interview
LaMelo has had to earn it at every level. His road was little longer and harder than most, but he had fans early on. This young man is already showing signs of greatness. ROY 2021... All-Star next year...
His road was easy what are you talking about he had 3 brothers and a father with money who was completely invested in his success.

🔥🔥 FUTURE OF THE LEAGUE 🔥🔥
Great father!!!!!!! Great mother !!!!!! Great family!!!!!!! Amazing player congrats lamelo
Saddest what if duos
His journey inspires me. Big ups bro
Y’all don’t know that he’s wearing the shades bc his future is so bright.

Good young PG on his way too being great.
So dope how the NBA does the surprise presentation.. that’s so dope !!!
Can’t wait for next season!!! Congrats Melo!
Man aint never hear someone say gang that many times
I can't wait to see him get his first ring he has so much potential and athletic ability he's only going to get better 🙌
Love how he ain’t see it at first lamelo seem cool af if he’s yo homie
