LaMelo Ball is a for sure star and anyone that is denying it is crazy.
The youngest Ball brother has some serious game and doesn’t shy away from the moment.
Last night he and the Hornets visited the defending champs and everyone expected Giannis to put on a show but Melo matched the excitement. He had 36 points, 9 assists, 5 rebounds, and 3 steals. They did end up losing by 2 but that doesn’t take away from the show Melo put on.
LaMelo Ball made a fadeaway 3-pointer — his eighth of the game — with 5.9 seconds left to pull the Hornets even at 125. After a timeout, Jru Holliday fed Antetokounmpo near the top of the lane for the reverse left-side layup.
“I haven’t seen the play, but I knew in the position I was in, there was two different routes,” Antetokounmpo said. “Float it up or try to sneak it in, and when you try to sneak it in, you’ve got to spin on. If you just go normal, most likely you’re going to get it blocked.”
Middleton said Antetokounmpo’s game-winner was more difficult than it looked.
“People talk about him just being dominant, but on that shot, you can see the skill that he has,” Middleton said. “He’s not always dunking over people, not always using the jump hook. That’s a tough layup even for guards, and he’s a 7-footer coming down to end the game. Going over, then under an arm, then flipping it with a little bit of spin off the glass, that just shows you the type of skills he has as a player.”
His alleged girlfriend Ana Montana was watching the game and reacted to him hitting a clutch 3 to tie the game and then watched Giannis hit the game-winner.
Miss Montana reacted on Twitter just like a fan would.
At least she really is watching his games though.
