Re: LaMelo Ball pulls off a Maravich-esque pass in his return
I've never seen somebody cheer for a pass like this before
But this was worthy of that reaction

Re: LaMelo Ball pulls off a Maravich-esque pass in his return
That was really cool.
It's not just the underhand delivery, it's the ability to drop it in a bucket over the defender.
And the balls to actually try it.

Just because it happened to you, doesn't make it interesting.

Awesome pass! As great as it washed, the announcer just seemed excited to have Lamelo back

I like the energy, most people do the same for a dunk when I find a pass like that more exciting.

Hilarious to listen to the Maravich call after, the play by play guy barely reacts like Pete made those passes on the regular (which I suppose he did).

Maravich's was infinitely better, and that announcer needs to effing chill with the homerism.

I'm pretty sure he pulled off that specific pass multiple times. Its been a while since I've watched one of his highlight reels, but I'm pretty sure there are a few like that.

Re: LaMelo Ball pulls off a Maravich-esque pass in his return
I am going to be honest, the Hornets announcer is not adding to the play at all. Dude is kind of taking away from the moments with his constant loud reactions. Minnesota's announcer Dave Benz has this trash tier "Ant Facts" shtick that sucks after Anthony Edwards makes a big play; it sucks so bad.
Whining aside, great pass.

I like the Minnesota announcers for the most part (I watch way too many Twolves games on LP), but you're not wrong about Ant Facts

Did Michael Jordan actually draft Lamelo. Or did his GM draft Ball. Jordan usually screws it up.
