“LaMelo Ball really chasing after LeBron James and Luka Doncic!”: NBA Twitter takes notice of the Hornets star as he writes his name in NBA history yet again

Hornets star LaMelo Ball makes NBA history yet again after recording his third career triple-double against the Hawks

 

We’ve said this before. Even when LaMelo Ball isn’t quite having the best shooting night, he manages to do other things on the court.

Now, of course, the Charlotte Hornets did end up losing against the Atlanta Hawks, with a final score of 105-115. However, it wasn’t the kind of loss where fans don’t understand why they support the team. Quite the contrary actually.

Yes, it is preferable to not go down in the first place. However, the team did have quite a few encouraging things to take away from this game. For one, Miles Bridges was very, very impressive as the team’s offensive outlet in crunch time, even scoring 35 points during this match.

Secondly, and most importantly for us here, LaMelo Ball had a bit of a historic night, putting him in the same conversation as Luka Doncic, Magic Johnson, and even LeBron James.

Let’s get into it, shall we?

If that isn’t elite company, we don’t know what is.
