Bro I don’t understand the Lamelo hate. He was an all star his second year. His third year he was injured and his teammates all wanna get locked up doing dumb stuff. Now he’s just starting his 4th year (really his 3rd yr) and we’re talking like he’s trashy it’s ridiculous 🤦🏾‍♂️

the off the court stuff doesn’t make it any better for himself but also there’s a lot of recency bias with multiple young guards breaking out recently such as Tyrese Haliburton, Tyrese Maxey, Jalen Brunson, etc

ngl Solz, seems like your hating too much on Melo. The comparisons brought up in the vid were legit and he’s lived up to the hype so far, it just seems like your hating on him a little too much.

[@BillyChester-hb7cb]

How about it now cheese burger boy?

[@Jalenguy4]

his health is the only thing in melos way

[@RavensFan]

Lemelo is only 22. To early to say he fell of when he was an all star the previous year. Hornets are still building a squad they got him nick willaims and brandon miller now it time to develo. It took the warriors a few year to build that winning culture its takes time.

[@GoldMoufP]

17:37 Ngl “mythical meats” sounds krazy af 😂😂😂😂😂

[@InsiteVFX]

LaMelo has literally improved everywhere besides his timidness inside the arc... *edit* he actually is starting to hit his shots now so that has improved also* LaMelo this year is actually playing defense and he did it well the past 2 games against Indy and Dallas. LaMelo literally came into the league as a terrible shooter and now he's one of the best 3pt shooters in the league. His decision making in the passing lanes has gotten a lot better, he doesn't gamble as much. He shot 75% from the FT line in his rookie year and now he's in the mid 80s. His numbers go up every year... The improvement is so clear and I don't understand what you're seeing. Comparing him to Andrew Wiggins who didn't improve AND wasn't even good at anything but slashing is NASTY work. Only thing LaMelo hasn't gotten better at is how he shoots. LaMelo should be much better at the rim but he just settles for bad shots and shoots for fouls every time it seems like (and obviously he isn't getting those calls cuz he's a young player). Not to mention LaMelo has had everything against him since coming into the league. If you think about the other highly touted rookies in 2020 they were thrown into the fire and embraced. LaMelo was backing up Devonte' Graham and Borrego wouldn't even allow LaMelo to truly lead this team and never embraced him. Yet with him having to work his way into the starting lineup, he got ROTY. Yet while his coach was working AGAINST him he got an all star nod in his 2nd year... And lead a bad Hornets team to a 500+ record with his great playmaking. When has Andrew Wiggins ever done any of that? The conversations yall have about LaMelo even though I'm pretty sure the last time anyone ever watched LaMelo play was his rookie year ( and im sure im being EXTREMELY generous giving yall games when I know most of yall watched the highlights that was forced down your throats) are extremely nasty. Ya'll give so much slack to his peers like Ant, Hali, Desmond Bane, Maxey, Vassell, but when it comes to LaMelo ya'll treat him like he's James Wiseman. You guys are so weird... Hali has literally never made it to the PLAY IN and he is somehow considered a more winning player than LaMelo who actually had a 500 record with a team before and has always made it to the play in when he's healthy... Hali is great but we gotta recognize that LaMelo is too. I remember during LaMelo's ALL STAR YEAR people were comparing him to Jordan Poole and Kevin Porter Jr. you guys are disgusting af lol

[@blocblackboyblack9226]

Haliburton messed up his dribble

[@InsiteVFX]

@@blocblackboyblack9226 He messed it up, picked it back up, and then got his shit poked? Also LaMelo's pressure on him was good. Why are you even bringing that up? I said games not clips LOL this is what I mean, u are a highlight watcher. U dont watch LaMelo so stop talking about him. And LaMelo played good defense on Hali there so it makes even less sense to bring that up. If Anthony Edwards did that shit you would be saying "THAT MF GOT CLAMPED OMGG!!" but since its LaMelo he just "lost his dribble" lmfaoo

[@trizmillz2222]

I kinda get where you’re coming from but you shouldn’t have brought up Hali or the pacers game. Lamelo only had 2 steals on top of the 4/15 shooting and the 6 turnovers. Lamelo had 11 assists though but Hali had 12. Lamelo had 11 points Hali had 43 with the same amount of rebounds as a taller guard in lamelo. I like lamelo but even though it’s early in the season he’s been shooting tour dates recently. He’s been simply outplayed by his peers ant/hali and yeah hes been injured but the best ability is availability.

[@InsiteVFX]

@@trizmillz2222 I brought Hali up to talk about LaMelo's available years. I literally said nothing about this year, you're the one bringing that up when its irrelevant. Obviously LaMelo is gonna be ass when he hasnt played NBA basketball for nearly a year and basically lost his entire 3rd season to injury. He is having a slow start and needs time. You guys dont need to be so reactionary. Also like I said. Why the fuck are you guys bringing up box score numbers with his defense? His 2 steals doesnt tell u shit. LaMelo basically averages 2 steals a game for his career. LaMelo has always averaged steals even when he was a dogshit defender as a rookie. His hands for the passing lanes has always been there. Also Hali and Ant are playing on teams with much better coaching and much better players. LaMelo exploded for 23 points in the 4th Q against Dallas and instead of feeding the hot hand, Steve Clifford instead had the bright idea to force feed a freezing cold Gordon Hayward for points. You guys do not watch these games. Also you can bring up Hali outplaying him but LaMelo literally just outplayed Luka. Who is even better. Give LaMelo time. And stick to what we were talking about. Let me also add that I said that we should recognize that they are BOTH great young PGs. I never even said anything about who is better?

[@InsiteVFX]

@@trizmillz2222 I also like how you bring up him shooting tour dates recently when the past 2 games he is averaging 32 pts 10 asissts and 7 rebounds on 53 42 80 splits. Give him some time DAYUM

Imo, Lamelo should leave to a bigger market not only for his brand but the nba cuz he has face of company potential

[@ayokiwi1678]

Bro he literally has been rehabbing… he hasn’t had the time to focus on improving his game. He’s trying to remain healthy and hornets really don’t have the necessary pieces around him. He needs the personnel.

[@chxmp2k506]

Bsolz, LaMelo has improved his 3pt shooting, finishing ability this season along with his defensive impact

[@ykmprodigy1330]

I need a update on this L aura 😭🤦🏻‍♂️

[@poonking3628]

He’s doing fine (it’s been rough this year), if anything this is the media’s fault for slobbin his knob all throughout his rookie season, and saying he was the next great PG and better than Ant. Also he had the worst (or 2nd worst after Sarver) owner in all of Basketball for his first 3 seasons.

[@patrickstar8005]

Lamelo plays winning basketball man even when he isn’t sparking it. I think his imfamous persona as a flashy hooper makes non-hornets fan skeptical of his intangible but bro fills me with hope.

[@RicetheCaptain]

Basketball fans kill me, Melo is literally the 1st pick of a rebuild no shit his rosters aren’t great. The Hornets literally have drafted good players to compliment him. This year is the first year you should expect them to win and it’s been a rough start partly for to Melo…but he and the rest of the team going to turn it around.

[@hooprealm]

Back to back 30 points games …. Uh oh might’ve spoke to soon lol

[@TheMissiIe]

Lamelo has improved each year, but efficiency is still a mojor problem for him

[@Alexkiddism]

The real question is, why would you put ‘hype’ and ‘deserved’ in the same sentence? Deserved hype. You’ve instantly made something that should be labeled ‘potentially negative’ into an actual positive. No Hype is deserved. Hype is meted out. Your hype man is literally lying to you to give you confidence you shouldn’t have based your actual qualifications. Or am I wrong?

[@samuellolango9720]

tbf lamelo is forgotten for a reason.. ja, luka and anthony edwards are talked about a lot cos their teams are actually moving forward, i dont see lamelo carrying the hornets anywhere anytime soon.

[@dumbthings7800]

Yall need to stop putting ant in those convos he’s great but not luka he doesn’t do out of the ordinary things for a person who averages 25-27 points he ain’t Jayson Tatum he ain’t like he’s on Jas trajectory but still hasn’t shown what Ja has and won’t because he’s not a pg he’s on the way to being Donovan Mitchell and yall act like he fixing to be part of the 5 player who run the league in the next 20 years, it’s completely unjustified.

[@edjuansmith5372]

[@steezy40k]

Bruh if Lonzo wasn’t injured rn he’d be at least a top 15 PG in the league rn no cap

[@BostonBori92]

Alot of his peers who got drafted around him took advantage last season in their opps while he was injured so Solz isnt wrong when he says Melo fell off Ant, Tyrese, Maxey, Quickley alot took huge steps on big stages and are in much more pplz brains now then Melo is that'll change but for now id say hes behind the 8 ball

[@oneautumnleaff2119]

my baby boy LaMelo seems to wanna be a support player more than a scorer, not really sure why unless he is trying to make the rest of his team play better

[@pabblo101]

I mean some players just wants to ball and make bank while not caring about improving or winning. Not everyone wants to the best of the best and just treats ball as a 9 to 5 job.

[@GldnSuave]

I dont think he fell off tbh. I think because ANT has taken such a HUGE LEAP that its overshadowing Melos progression, so no one talks abt it. Them being the same draft aint doing him any favors either. But then again Melo and Ant are 2 different players(Ant is a scorer/defender and melo is a playmaking/scorer). But nobody really thought that Lamelo was gonna be an elite scoring talent like everyone did Ant. Melos name put people in seats, cause the Balls was hot at the time(PAUSE). Plus bro plays for the hornets ykwim

[@keeppushin1209]

I'm actually fine with the Penny Hardaway comparison that Robert Horry made. Mostly because History remembers Penny Hardaway as better than he actually was. Penny hardaway's best season 21 points 7 assists 4 rebounds Lamelo balls best season 24 points 8 assists 7 rebounds And honestly in lamelo's first two seasons where he was a bit healthier than his third The Hornets made the play in Both years, last year when he was hurt for most this season they had one of the worst records in the league except for when he played. The problem is people just don't watch the Hornets. You made the comparison to Andrew Wiggins at the beginning of the video .Lamelo and And Andrew Wiggins don't belong in the same sentence honestly
