Man..that part where Lavar thanked melo's teammates after their loss made me tear up a bit. It really shows you how much he really cares for his boys. Some people are too quick to judge him sometimes

“Kids cannot play around grown men” *16 year old Luka is typing...*

It’s crazy how everyone doubted him but his pops still believed in him

My guy SNAPPED

I'vr watched Melo since he was a 14 year old dominating with his brothers in Chino. I have his Chino Jersey, his Lithuania, his JBA Jersey, he's my favorite player. And this tells the the story perfectly. This documentary looks like something ESPN would make. Insane work. Round of Applause bro. Much respect

Followed Melo from those early days. To see him go through all of that and still manage to end up going #3 in the draft and winning rookie of the year almost had me in tears. So proud of him for sticking with it. And so proud of him for telling Lavar he wanted to go back to the states to finish up high school - that's where things took a nice turn for him.

That dude lamelo lowkey living the naruto life 😂 was doubted when he was young but as soon as everyone see what he is now they act like they never hated

Shout to DKM because through out the years he kept us updated with all the news with the ball family when the media was lying to public

I remember like yesterday they said he would not make it to the NBA.

My brother just said “proud of that kid man” Like hes melo Big brother😂

Lavar really was a dam good father. I admit I didn't like the attitude but he really brought the best out in his boys

Dope documentary 💯

Jermaine Jackson's mentoring really change LaMelo not just on the court but off the court. Melo got matured bruh.

Whether you hate him or not, this guy just proved everyone he's gonna make it to the NBA. It's kinda funny how his haters switched to " he's not making it to the NBA to he's gonna be a bust in the NBA." That's how social media is nowadays where people would try to bring you down because they don't have the talent you have and they always find excuses to hate the person, not offending anyone but just based on my opinion. To all of you guys out there who wants to pursue your passion and goal, just remember to not let these haters take over you and no matter what happens just keep grinding and you'll see results. Have a nice day and God Bless to everyone :)

You don't have to be a fan, but his story is inspiring as hell. Wish the best for the kid. Amazing!

Jermaine Jackson best thing to happen to lamelo hands down

This was super dope. He's going to be special!

If all athletes had dads like Lavar, we’d all have a better chance at going pro. He really believe in his kids. #DadGoals

The best thing that Melo ever did for his future was to go back to high school and playing for JJ.

Lamelo is one of the only child prodigies during the KZfaq era that actually panned out. There were a ton of Julian Newmans from 2008-2020.

Everyone literally hated on the kid. The KID, didn’t even believe in him even now in the draft “Oh well he’s not number 1” dude wasn’t even ranked top 10 in his Senior in HS and is a top 3 pick in the draft. Greatness always shines through

Still remember him coming to Australia, went to see him in person, and he did his ankle the week before. But knew he was gonna be good. Hopefully the NBA continues to bless him

What I like about Melo is that he isn't cocky. He stays humble even tho all the hype is on him.

Lavar may have been crazy at times, but he really is a great father, he has potentially have 2 top 3 picks in the NBA. Edit:(And he was the 3rd overall pick)

Love him or hate him, he's overcome all adversity and doubt.

He could've given up as soon as things started to fall apart for him. I'm genuinely happy to finally see Lamelo drafted & hope NUTHIN but the best for his future in the NBA💯💯💯

The way the music shifted on the Spire part was a nice touch as I think that’s where his career really turned around and what paved the way for him being where he is today. The Lavar effect is interesting. He clearly pushed LaMelo really hard and adopted a tough love approach which made him work on his game and had a positive impact on his skills and work ethic, however I think Lavar enabling him to shot chuck and cherry pick and stat pad had a mixed effect. It got him fame and national attention which helped his career but bred so many bad habits that hindered it. So I find it hard with Lavar as he helped LaMelo’s career a tonne but also hindered it in other ways. Ultimately though I think he really needed Spire and it was amazing to watch his game evolve there. It’s like Lavar built him up as a brand and gave him the tools he needed to work hard and grind to improve his game, but he needed to shed Lavar’s influence to develop a well rounded game that could elevate teammates and work in the NBA.

Lavar doesn't seem so crazy now does he? The result of hard work, talent and support. Wishing you and the fam the best... Keep going strong✊🏾

Salute to Lavar, he got 2 of his sons in the NBA!!

The Aussies cheering for you Melo God Bless ya brother light the NBA up.

Melo went through so much stuff as a kid and we all watched him grow up before our eyes

“Uhh it’s not a beautiful release but it is beautiful to hear it splash into the net” I was DEAD😂💀1:40

This was one on the most entertaining thing I have ever watched...

This REALLY impressed me about Melo. He overcame adversity at EVERY. SINGLE. STEP. and came out on the other side a top 3 pick. What a job by him and Lavar though. Rootin' for him

watching this is making me relize how good of a dad lavar is

Been here since he was a freshman. It’s been a long time coming and I’m so happy to see him living out his dreams and showing everyone how wrong they were about him

I’m halfway thru watching it. So glad lamelos on the way of roty rn. Pulling him from highschool to train him was the best decision. Props to lavar.

Hearing Lavar tell the team thank you, Broke my heart.

Been watching LaMelo Ball since high school I gotta see this

Been watching your LÁMELO videos for awhile man it’s crazy how he’s almost in the NBA and thanks DKM for the awesome journey and for keeping us posted! 👌🏽💯💫

I’m so proud of him. I personally don’t know him, of course, but it’s amazing watching his growth not only as player but his personal growth as well.

This kid went hard for his spot, I cant wait for this new season,... God Bless us all...

He went from being the most hated highschool player ever, to top pick. I'm eager to watch tomorrows draft, don't know if I'll be able to sleep

Crazy to think DKM been on that lamelo hype since he was around 12 years old, now the mama about to get drafted to the NBA! Man I just wanna see DKM interview melo

We really watched Melo grow up

HOW IS THIS NOT TRENDING, THIS IS THE GREATEST THING IVE SEEN IN THE LONGEST TIME, IVE WATCHED THIS AT LEAST ONCE SINCE IT CAME OUT

This like a reunion wit Lavar DKM Melo and the Fans only the ones that was here will understand how time flies Sheesh I'll be waiting to see who pick melo

This breaking KZfaq.

Did'nt realise it was a bloody 16min video till i finished. Great video!

Lamelo is the true definition of “Started from the bottom now I’m here.”

The only thing I learned in this video is Lavar might be one of the best dads on earth no 🧢🧢🧢💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

When y'all see this in 5 years and Lamelo's a champ, THIS IS WHY. Let's give lavar some gratitude

I hope this grind pays off for your bro, you’ve covered him in depth from the start, pretty much from when he got a name. Iv watched you cover everything he’s done and I hope you get rewarded for your efforts. I appreciate your work bro.

Bro.. KZfaq recommends this video like 50% of the time after I watch one of your videos. Here's the thing.. I've seen it like 30 times now lol. It's so good.

WoW, I forgot that it wasn’t always easy. Ups and downs. Awesome story! Who’s watching after the draft?

2:35 damn Melo had 3 defenders on him and still splashed the 3. Just from that game should told you he was gonna go to the NBA.

"somebody gotta be the best player in the world.....why not you ...." 😐😶🥺😁 That was a dad moment for sure....

The Thing that i notice about him so far is that he doesn't want to be like nobody but himself and that's pretty cool to me .

it’s funny that every single cut of the video that is in this I have already seen, been here since the beginning 💯💯👀

This Movie should get an Oscar

Bro dis was a good unexpected best 16 minutes of my life 😭

Never underestimate the value of a strong, loving father in the household. For young boys it can mean the difference between greatness and failure.

Ngl this was hard and it brought back so many memories, the ball family is what made me start watching basketball and fall in love with the sports. 💯

It’s funny how all them reporters switched up at the end lmfaoo bandwagon at its finest 😭 media is toxic

That hype music tho during the NBL highlights!! fire DKM

Absolutely phenomenal content you've put together, DKM. Great job. I'm sure you will go far.

Lamelo is more likely to be a champion out of all three brothers.

I bet that I’d get a Lamelo ball tattoo if he’s the number one pick. Supporter since day one

Most Excellent Compilation and Edit, DKM. You have always been here. No one can take that away from you. The BEST is still being written.

Proud to see you and your family are in life right now. I believed in all three of y’all since the first time I watched y’all 6 years ago. Keep grinding and be yourself bro

I learned something from this, learn from your mistake and proof the people who doubted u wrong!

I watch Lamelo since 13 years old when he was 5’5 I 14 tho

This video really deserves to blow up!! This is soooo much better than the MJ documentary, you did a fantastic job!!!!

Prolly one of the dopest video on U tube...Good work.....Excellent!!!!

One thing I like about Lavar is he bred Melo to be a leader. Every single time a team he was on did bad his dad would go after him even when it wasn't majorly his fault to teach him accountability and ownership and also push him to be better.

DKM this is a masterpiece

I like how lavar reacts to every situation💯

Brooooo this was amazing!!! You killed it with this video! You’re crazy talented! Melo is gunna go offfffff

Lamelo is unique. Truly an unpredictable player because know one plays like him. 💯

I just love lamelo he makes a lot of kids happy 💓

This is so dope to come back too after seeing how well he’s doing rn... old media was all wrong about him. He was always going to be this player, real ones knew from the beginning..✊🏾

I watched this like 10 times for the past month good job

DKM the man!!! Most reliable and entertaining ball family news out there! Keep grinding bro! 🗣

That man melo smack tf out of dude 😂😭

I reckon I’ve watched this over 30 times now😁 colddd DKM is an inspiration

how can this only be at only 1 million views? I just watched for the 3rd time and still get me pumped. DKM please update with 1st season content... KZfaq algorithm - push this...

I love how his dad teach him discipline ✌️

This family is the proof of speaking this into existence and backing your words with action

Can’t wait for the update because The Hornets and LaMelo is killing it right now

What I like bout lemelo that he never stopped playing basket he successfully mad his dream he ignore the haters ... but lemelo will never stop. He always gonna success

It’s crazy how we watched melo grow up from a high school freshman and now he’s in the nba he’s come so far

the only bad thing about all this, is that these commentators still have there jobs. not one of them nailed it! great document

This so dope bro💯

I literally grew up with Lamelo Ball.

Media are ignoring this cash cow. DKM holds it down for the Ball Brothers. People are about to recognize.

Respect to Lavar on how he thanked Lamelo's teammate and coach.

When they called him a cherry picker and he had the cherries that was 🔥

I guess i have watched this atleast 25-27 times. Man love watching him play. DKM way to go, a befitting docu for a legend in making. Love from India bro. Can't wait to watching him on NBA .

Imagine if Melo recreates his half court pull up in the NBA🙌
