Why do people want this to be true so bad?


LaMelo was a top 15 prospect in his HS class on ESPN before he went to Lithuania for his junior year and gets taken off the rankings.

Comes back as the best player on a team that was #2 in Ohio while averaging close to a triple double and gets 19 on espn's list with a 93 overall rating.

Spire doesn't even run Lavar Ball offense, he's doing this in an actual offense while being a 6'7 point guard that can handle the ball and create for himself + others.

You guys can try to fake news him all you want, but he's a legit NBA prospect at this stage, period.


because he has a bad attitude and he's a prick...


He's a HS teenager with an NBA brother and is famous throughout the country. Most kids I grew up with in that age were pricks regardless so I don't hold it against him. Not everyone grows up as a super mature kid.


IF he makes himself uncoachable, he’s in for a terrible career. Hopefully,
he gets his head on straight sooner than latter; tough though with the dad
of his. Lonzo seems to be in a better place, we’ll see.

Does no one else watch Ball In The Family? The kid IS coachable. He’s just been tired of being a parade for his dad. All he wanted was to be a normal kid and enjoy his high school experience.

Few people take the time to assess him as a player. We just see the Ball family circus. We see Lamelo thrust into the spotlight when he isn't ready for it. We see him going to Lithuania. We see him scoring a bunch of points against a team of kids (I don't remember the exact details). We roll our eyes.

It's hard to get past all of that when we think about Lamelo. I don't have anything against the kid. So he'll play overseas for a year (hopefully not in China), and we'll see what we get. We'll find out how much his development got damaged by the Ball family circus. Just because he's a prospect doesn't mean that he'll ever sniff the NBA, but conversely just because he's part of a circus doesn't mean he can't play.

Damn, Rob Liefeld ok? If that's just natural weight loss, then credit and I need to hit the gym tonight.

Also, if Rob Liefeld is at the Endgame premiere, how much you wanna bet Deadpool is joining the MCU?

The credits teaser is Deadpool. Just confirmed with a source who saw Endgame this afternoon.

Two years left. $32 and 34 million. Better than 4 years of Jimmy Butler at similar cost. Celtics have better assets for AD.

Conley is underrated.

Going to preface this by saying I'm a huge Lonzo fan, the guy is the Truth... But Lamelo has no prayer of making the NBA. Low-IQ, Low-character, plays no defense, can't shoot or score or dribble, very unathletic, not a hard worker, he'd be lucky to play JuCo but obviously he isn't even eligible

1. ESPN's rankings are the worst in the business. They rank based on popularity and name value.

2. Top-20 recruit doesn't mean someone will be a lottery pick or even a 1st round pick or even drafted. Looking at the 2017 ESPN top-20, 8 of them weren't drafted or were low 2nd round picks without a real future in the NBA.

3. Melo is an awful athlete. At 6'6" he can barely dunk.

At the time of those rankings, those 20 were legit NBA prospects. At this time, Lamelo Ball is a clear NBA prospect. Maybe ESPN isn't your cup of tea, how about 24/7 (very legit in HS bussiness) ranking him as the #2 point guard in CA giving him a 5 star (.9915) ranking. Or maybe Rivals.com ranking him as a 5 star prospect may change your mind.

But anyways, as to your dunking comment, maybe you haven't seen him in a while.

Here is a video of his progression, ending with him casually going between the legs in air and dunking duuring pregame:



Here is him calling out a defender and dunking on him in a game where he casually dropped 30/13 against a team that was ranked 10 in their state:



Here is him throwing down multiple impressive dunks in game while getting the W.



Also, he was measured at 6'7 to start his senior year. You guys may not like him, but him not being an NBA prospect is completely fake news.
