Pistol Pete was unorthodox with his scoring. And dominated!!!
stop it. hes averaging like 5 turnovers a game and hes shooting like 38% from the field
That Jordan dunk was filthy I've never seen it before
I was just thinking about this and my question for Ben is about LaMelo’s potential to be an all time great.
What a nightmare for his teamates
This video really helped me gain an understanding of how good LaMelo Ball is. (I been trying to decide in my head who’s better between him and Ja.) this season it’s Lamelo
Works because no hard physicality is allowed. If the rule changed players would be able to hack him
I like to see him in a team where Lonzo is the primary facilatator
Bros just having fun
more LaMelo needed
So Lamelo and Pete are Jackie Chan of basketball
1:27 thats clean idk why he's say its a travel some people just don't know basketball
do this sh*t in 90’s or 00’s era and you go straight to the bench doesn’t matter if you made the shot or not💀😅
The prince of traveling.
It's ridiculous, can you show any play in wich Ball doesn't travel???
9:09 C'mon. How is that not a double drible??? This whole video is disgusting. Stop praising cheaters!
how is 1:22 a travel? his right foot is his pivot foot and doesn't come off the ground? I mean he's on his toes but his toes don't leave the floor
stay healthy melo
Lamelo Is fun to watch…I wanna see more player like him
You haven't seen Pistol Pete?
to be honest when I have conversations about people losing interest in the NBA LaMelo is a name that comes up often
Lamelo seems like he cares more about looking good than winning.
All I’m hearing is lamelo to the spurs
Rename the video, "Lamelo stretching the limits of Adam Silvers time as commisioner"
Half of his shots are traveling violations. So they’re just not calling traveling now… cool. But guys like AI, Steve Nash and White Chocolate were way more fun to watch.
trash luka was doing this at 19 and healthier and more wins melo mid and will be traded in less than 5 years
I been saying since Australia lamelo comparison has ALWAYS been pistol Pete ! They said I was crazy and didn’t know ball 🙃
Stretching the limits of basketball to a losing record
i made a video on my channel nearly 5 years ago that i made inactive basically saying that he was going to be all of this. its almost exactly this video but just years ago. at the time people like jalen rose were questioning if he'd even be a pro. you knew all of this was gonna translate bc the game is so open that it allows him to do whatever he wants. plus hes super smart.
Talk about the grizzlies dominance in the paint…
He had to grow up scoring on 2 older brothers lol, he’s gonna try some crazy stuff to score😂
great video
he's just exploiting the fact that nobody can play defense
the rules are a joke
lol, he sucks
Chaotic Good.
Sometimes great and sometimes awful, but definitely entertaining.
8:00 this sent me off i sometimes lose my mind watching Lamelo 😂😂
Not a travel
