LaMelo Ball vs. Julian Newman was one of the most hyped up high school basketball matchups in recent memory.
It was set to be the most anticipated high school basketball game since LaMelo faced off against Zion Williamson back in 2017.
LaMelo was fresh off his return from playing professionally in Lithuania, and came back to play his senior year for Spire Academy. Julian on the other hand, was playing at Downey Christian school coached by his dad, Jamie.
With the INSANE social media hype that followed both players for YEARS, the stage was finally set for a LaMelo vs Julian matchup.

Did this game EXPOSE Julian Newman? Let us know in the comments below👇
It was Lamelo ball vs Emanuel Maldonado. Julian was average in his average team. Maldonado was pretty nasty. He should go to a better team and develop there. He was very underrated.
5’7” more like 5’3”
“Lamelo and Spire weren’t messing around” -cuts to clips of them literally messing around 😂
Julian was never seen as good
Julian Newman ang Mr. Longbomb ng USA
“Ion run it” 😭😭😭💪🏽
Dad is a delusional joke
If newman is 5'7, then Melo is 7 foot😅
Julian plays like that whacked out old phoenix suns player Barbosa
Im sure Lamelo never cared before and after that game.
Julian sick watching melo on tv playing basketball in the nba 😂😂
We really saying that isnt a fat goaltend at 2:13 ?!
Lamelo got lucky af his body grew to 6'7" which is like the perfect NBA size. He's better by default. God is the one who does it all and puts people where they belong.
There’s no way this was a “real” game… right? Just a scrimmage or something… this is the laziest exhibition of basketball I’ve ever seen lol
1:19 5'7? bro took a pick next to 5'8 Floyd Mayweather and Floyd towers over him bro is probably 5'4 5'5 at best
Jullian Newman was never good lol
Julian was cursed with the height, he’s very good but can only take you so far
He holds the ball not like 5'7 guy hold the ball, he holds it like hes holding a stability ball. 😅
Melo humbled both the Newman kids the same night!!!!
This aint fair. Newman got fcked over in the height department. It's a 1 foot difference. come on now, fellas.
