Watching Melo makes me smile, kid absolutely earned his spot in the NBA and he's so comfortable being there. To ball like this against the elite is insane.

Melo plays as if he’s in the school gym during free period playing with his homies before going back to class. Just pure enjoyment & I love watching it.

I love that he sacrifices his own chances to score to let his teammates shine.

1:05 “stroke it with size”😱😳😯😂🤣😂

Idk what’s better … The LaMelo Highlights or the Hornets Commentators 😂😂😂😂💯

I must say, watching Melo is more entertaining than watching any other NBA player. He's quick and he's witty. And he scores! And his ball passing game is on point more than anybody else in the NBA.

Used to hate Lamelo for no reason ..but seeing him make it to the NBA is something special . The kid has talent , heart , and brings great crowd reaction. I hope he stays in charlotte for a while . Never seen the arena so packed and hyped in decades . I hope he wins an NBA title in the future

The Kid is honestly a genius, his passing, IQ, Hustle, shot, Drive, Handle, and Heart its all there... that family created a prodigy, even his Brothers said it repeatedly "the best out of all of us is Melo" crazy cause we saw him grow up through Chino Hills since he was like 15 playing Varsity as a starter, and winning championships, Insane!!.. I hope he gets a Title..

His playing style is fun to watch.

Dudes game is just crisp, crazy seeing him from a small kid to developing into such a natural player.

i honestly didn’t realise how crazy his highlights are already, he looks incredible while he plays. he makes the hornets look like a championship contending team

Dude!!! Look at how often LaMelo will pass before taking the shot! Seeing how much he includes his team mates in his success and how often he uses his skillset to make his teammates shine has me like "Man! I would TOTALLY want to play ball with someone like that!" The leadership skills are undeniable!

2:13 “DESIRE! HE JUST WANTED IT!” 😂😂 facts

I'm not a huge basketball fan, but Melo makes it so much fun to watch. Some players just have that "it" factor and he's definitely one of them.

He has this unique and unpredictable style. Not boring to watch unlike those big names that don't pass the ball for them own fame.

What I like about his playing is a) stealing/blocking ability - he has fingertips like a gecko b) he's not greedy with the ball, some of the passes are just better options, some are just flashy, but he looks at passes as valuable as points. I'll take his 3D ball playing over the 3-point ball game any day.

You can tell LaMelo simply trusts he's playing with teammates who fully understand they're all professionals at the highest level of the sport. The flow is sick!!!🔥🤩🏀

Being the younger brother helped him out a lot. Always a challenge now he’s better then both his brothers.

This man’s highlight reel is gonna be insane

Lamelo's full court passing is incredible...you can see he had that skill when he was like 15 and in high school. I'd tell my brother he could make passes nba guards can't make. Obviously he does a lot of stuff a lot of other guards can't do, even good ones.

5:11 big ups to isaiah stewart, keeping a hand on him as he went down and helping him up.

I want him to recreate his point at half court shot. It would either be legendary or a meme

Lemelo just looks like he's just out there having fun

2:45, my man really said "HUMDIDDLYDEE"

I'm rooting for LaMelo to be the next "GOAT".. I wanna see rings, season MVP's, all star MVP's, all that... Such an exciting player with tons of potential.

This kid just makes me want to pick up a ball again

The Ball-Bridges relationship is absolutely beautiful

Joy, joy, joy, thrilling, creative, prodigious, team oriented, entertaining, real basketball! Carry on LaMello!

I just love his playstyle, it just looks like he’s having fun all the time

I need announcers like this for my daily activities

court vision is crazy for being so young, lamelo gon be the greatest to ever do it.

Imagine having Melo and Zion on the same team! Those alley-oops would be wild!!

I went to Charlotte to see the Sixers play the Hornets, and LaMelo did not play that night, but before the game, they worked him out. It was JUST a workout, but his shooting and handles were off-the-charts. Just amazing! I love the modern game.

His energy level is 2x anybody else on the court, and 10x a lot of them. And what an incredible handle, laser-like passes... some violent poetry in motion!

i feel like a proud father watching these kids grow up and mature into the ball players they are becoming. all solid balls.

LaMelo is so smooth he looks like slow motion, but opponents can't keep up.

10% LaMelo plays 90% Commentators' reactions 🔥

The crazy part is that we all watched him grow up doing these same moves, and he still catches them. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

This truly shows you that Melo was ALWAYS that kid growing up playing with the way older kids.. and he always held his own, same as today!

I just hope he keeps playing with freedom as he does. It's never always going to pay off but the entertainment is the best in the nba. Thank you Mr Ball Sack.

This guy is Brilliant.. Definitely an All Star 💯

His handles are way underrated

Lamelo passing and dribbling is just insane plus he can score

He’s not playing just to win, he’s playing to put on a show and have fun. Love this guy.

"Stroke it with size!" -Mark Jackson

This kid is crazy good the passing shooting dribbles I mean he does it all for real. A real point guard

I remember watching And1 videos for hours 15 yrs ago. This guy brings nostalgia

Just having fun out there, bet them guys love having the youngin on the squad. Melo can blay all around and definitely is a play maker forsure. Hard to find players out there anymore that are just happy to be there and be part of the team💪

Omg lamelo is such an amazing player why it seem like nobody talks about him that much. Hes the most exciting player too watch so much style, and skill and is a true team player.. it really shows how happy he is too just play basketball he respects the game more then most of these players and it shows hes electrifying and just absolutely brilliant too watch.. 👏 👍

This guy is actually PLAYING. Everyone else too stiff and serious. Great to watch.

remember young street ball clips from the brothers back in the day, love to see him keep his style

2:18😂😂😂 commentary hits ever time

LaMelo + Hornets commentators == Godlike!

He’s definitely a lot of fun to watch! Love the video!

You can tell just by watching him play, he passes the vibe audit. Creative, open-minded, and with joy.

Pure talent and desire

He just too smooth wit it maaan

Watching him in high school was crazy! Then Australia was good route he went! Amazing perfect passing! Deserved a nba ring one day!

The energy difference between the home and away clips is astounding

If he can stay healthy, elevate his game from this to even something more special, there is no doubt he will be one the best marketed players ever in the NBA. He's too fun to watch for people not want to throw their money at the franchise he plays for.

His quick passes are like bullets fired

After 2 minutes I saw all I needed to see. Legendary.

Looks like he's dropping dimes and making incredible shots. That's a rare combo playing street ball.

Keep them coming! DeAaron Fox next please!

Hopefully Bridges can get back on the court, but doesn't look likely. That duo was about to be something special ⛽🔥😤

these are made 1000x better simply by the fact that eric collins loves basketball so much and is so passionate with his calling

He's only been here 3 years and he has so many amazing highlights

That boy is a ankle breakin, buzzer beatin, alley-oopin, slick, long, behind the back passin, shakin n bakin, hesitatin, air hangin, 3-point shootin, razzle dazzlin, reverse lay-uppin, ball handlin fool! Fast too! Did I miss anything?

Lamelo.. GOTT ITTTEGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!! 6:13

October 20th 2023. Been watching Lamelo since high school. His game is too much fun to watch

I never watched or played basketball all growing up. Only started plying the sport in college but Lamelo was always somebody that caught my eye even not watching the NBA at all. Family is now in NC so hornets are my team! It’s because of Mello mostly but he truly is fun to watch. Opened my eyes to the sport and now it’s fun to watch NBA games and play. Excited to get better overtime cause I’m 6’5 so I just gotta learn to jump 😂

I like how it doesn’t seem like he had to change his game if anything he just perfected it. He’s just too crafty. A lotta his decision making just seems so natural. I love the chemistry the hornets have with him, pj, miles, and I know it’s gonna happen eventually but I hope they don’t break up this young core . Even tho I do see him fitting into a few other teams systems just as well.

Craziest highlight tape in the league. If he finds some consistency and better teammates they’ll go far.

bro just having fun and making the most of his opportunity. that's so cool man

That left to right crossover with the left hand scoop layup from the right side 🥶

Can we also admire the Hornets court designs? Simply beautiful

Damn! imagine him doing this in NY or LA! The media hype will be crazy!

Few years back we were all watching Lamelo play against Zion in HS/AAU... now we watching them BALL 💪🔥

Man alive! As far as I can see, Lamelo is easily the best of all the Ball brothers. Impressive.

6:25 cleanest step back ever🥵

gotta love melo. I hope he continues to grow. would love to see him in an mvp race one day

Warms my heart seeing melo in the nba

I remember sophmore year of hs there was a trio of brothers goin crazy in cali and its so crazy now seeing the one that was literally in my grade have montages of himself against the best players in the world

3:53 melo over dbook any day🥶🥶

He’s gon be one of the greats

Very nice ball handling.He brings his own class into the game. -LaBall-

You can see the way he smiles that this is a kids dream and he is living it now.

this makes me want to watch him live! what a beast!

“Desssiiiiiiiiiiiiireeeeee he just wanted it !”

Wow that kid got mad skills, he was tearing that net up !!

This kid is so gifted he’s the best of the ball bros. Very talented

We need more streetball style in the NBA

so happy he keeps getting better

so entertaining to watch, his vision is crazy

Awesome to watch. Hope his stats and defence match all that showtiming. Then he’ll surely be all-star

Didn't know he had skills like this. DAMN!

Man lavar did his thing for his sons. We need to put more ppl like him in the spotlight

I love that pass in the second clip

Glad to see dude actually balling against all odds🙌🙌

Stroke it with size??? 🤨📸 what do you mean by that
