It would not be wrong to say that LaMelo Ball is the best thing that happened to the Charlotte Hornets for the longest time. The point guard has been great this season so far. LaMelo has averaged 22.0 PPG, 6.0 APG, 5.7 RPG, and 2.3 SPG so far.
The 20-year old has shot 50.9% from the field and 50% from the 3-point line in three games. The Hornets had begun the season with a 3-0 record, with LaMelo Ball and Miles Bridges taking the Michael Jordan franchise to new heights.
LaMelo has had a variety of highlight plays so far, with the latest being his crossover three-pointer over Celtics guard Marcus Smart. The Chino Hills sensation would have the crowd in the Spectrum Center in awe with his moves.
LaMelo’s crossover on Smart would send Twitter into a frenzy, who would shower praise on the Hornets guard. LaMelo accounts for some incredible basketball IQ for a player of his age.
LaMelo Ball’s crossover move has Twitter dot over him.
The match between the Celtics and Hornets would go into overtime, with the Celtics emerging victorious. Celtics Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum would combine for over 70-points, while LaMelo and Miles Bridges combined for 50-points.
Despite losing the match, LaMelo’s crossover move on Smart should be a top 10 highlight of the week.
