Jayson doesn't have a Dad, only a Mom.
His Dad was never there for him and she worked 7 jobs a day and left him home alone to eat nothing and play basketball and that's how he got so good.
At least that's how they make it seem.
Man they did that shit on his draft night asking his mom all these damn single parent questions and his dad was right there too
He had buddy at 19 lol
This is a horrible take on its face. Admittedly, i havent watched one entire hornets game. Id like to see how this one ages.
Ball is a star tho. And that matters.. Hard to be a winner in that environment. No one has ever been that there.
I agree about the star power
More flash than substance to me though
Cant teach 6'7 with all star level PG skill and talent tho. And keep in mind.. he and Miller bout the same age. Injury would be my only concern with him.
This how I know mf’s don’t believe in Lamelo cuz why not build around BOTH. It’s not like they play the same position. Do they not compliment each others game?
I think that’s what the Hornets will do. LaMelo signed a 5 year extension last summer.
That trade with OKC was good getting Tre Mann. Dude been balling.
LaMelo Ball, Hornets finalize 5-year contract extension | NBA.com
Guard LaMelo Ball will receive a reported 5-year, $260 million extension from the Hornets.
I’ve been watching more of the 10-minute game recaps on Youtube the past 2 to 3 years.
Just to better keep up with more teams and know what’s going on around the league.
If you gamble, this and listening to the post game comments from coaches is a big advantage
He tried to push and trip the kid and injured himself
Oh shit!
And just like a dookie, blaming it on someone else
It's a poor small market team and Melo makes over 200 mill. They're to poor to afford both if Miller balls out, so they're setting the stage of dumping one so they can reduce cost. Bad franchises make decisions based on finance first.
The OG Hornets did this 30 years ago with Larry Johnson and Alonzo Mourning. They gave Larry the biggest contract at the time, then lowballed Zo cuz they were too poor to pay both. They ended up trading Zo to Miami for Glen Rice, and never had that much young talent ever again.
Part of why the Hornets never get #1 overall picks is cuz the league office knows the franchise is too cheap to pay marquee young talent. There was some doubt whether the Hornets would even max out Melo. They did, and here we are not even a year later and there's whispers of getting rid of him.
Doc Rivers returns to Philly and bust their shit. The great white hope Nick Nurse just lost to their old coach. Philadelphia just can't get right. 
Luka Doncic sneak diss!!!!!
