    I despise LaMelo's shooting form. It just looks lazy.

    Such a shame that nobody in the Ball family helps those kids with their shooting form. Just terrible.

    Yeah, looks like he is getting paid by the number of attempts, not makes.

    Well, since it's the offseason, this circus had basketball fans going crazy.

    LaMelo Ball vs. Zion Williamson drew cops, NBA stars, and an oversold gym - SB Nation

    Really? I watched most of the second half and he was amazing. I mean, dude is obv a diva who doesnt play any defense, or with any effort, but he is next level gifted as a scorer. The game looks too easy for him to be 16.

    Defense is about extra effort and winning. Offense is where the money and glory is. No surprise most talented players choose offense.

    LaMelo's range is crazy. He's like Durant x Curry.

    He's too small. Even for a 16 year old.

    On my lunch watching a bit of this. LaMelo looks like trash after the 1st 2 plays.
