The LaMelo Ball Experience

I'm watching First Things First on FS1 and they legit was just making fun of Lamelo and him being a knucklehead.

Nick Wright just seemed like he hates Lamelo. By far one of the weirdest game reactions I have seen on live TV. Like he legit didn't say anything positive about LaMelo.

I just saw the same segment. Baffling - Nick Wright essentially just shat all over him for 15 minutes straight and basically said he was an unserious loser who has to be traded. Unbelievable

Yes, LaMelo is an airhead. But he's also good natured and always brings positive energy. Combine that with his obvious talent and it shouldn't be hard to figure out why a lot of people like him. He doesn't deserve the vitriol he gets from media and fans.

I do not care.

He is an unserious **** who makes a ton of stupid mistakes.

He is also one of the most naturally gifted players in the league.

Both can be true. He's our guy though so we see the nuance that other fans and big media don't.

Welcome to the LaMelo Ball Experience

Hes an experience all right. If he could be just half way serious and less airheaded we'd set. Id still trade melo if it meant getting a player like Kingston Flemmings plus a pick.

Lamelo projects to be the best player in franchise history and I fully support him always.
