He can't run over kids on the top of his roof!

This is actually encouraging he's letting out his bad driving skills alone. Hopefully this makes him a better driver when he comes back down to the streets of Charlotte.


*See Buzzin can say positive things about Melo. :D

Best part about that video is nobody walking away from the scene injured. Also, kids swarming his car in the street in the middle of traffic smh

This is one of those things where you have to teach kids to be smart. Never assume a driver can see you, and never walk into a street without looking in all directions first to see if it's safe. That said kids are kids, they're going to do dumb things as they mature and grow up, so parents/adults need to be present and look out for them.

It’s probably actually safer for him to run the light the way he does than stop and draw a bunch of morons into the intersection, as upsetting as that is for all the boomers and haters. Just a crappy situation, the players need a safer way to leave the arena

Where would he be if the FO didn't spend the last four years going for band-aids and quick fixes and projects in the draft. Instead of putting together an actual NBA team like the Pacers and Wolves did.

LaMelo stays healthy we are a playoff team. I truly believe that. He's a dynamic talent and he's underrated around the league because he plays in Charlotte.

There is no way you can convince me Melo isn't on the same level talent wise as Haliburton.

That's why it makes sense for the new owners to just trade all the picks for another star or two super role players and get a contending team in here, we can't keep dilly daddling forever

The primary reason we've sucked the last two years is a combination of LaMelo being injured and the Miles fiasco. If neither of those things happened this team would have doubled their win total in all likelihood.

How many games would the Celtics have won if Tatum and Brown missed most of the season?

He likes weed. Who doesn't? He also grew up in a state where it's been legal his whole life.
