I wouldnt call it a super team, they might do well but keep in mind they will be playing professionals, and the standard of the Australian league is quite good - Last year Melbourne's team beat OKC in a friendly

[@PeachythePicker]

No they didn’t. They did really good but Oklahoma won by a point I think

[@dkav604]

The breakers is a New Zealand team in an Australian league

[@fl8ter384]

I’m Australian and I completely agree just give the people what they wanna see

MORE LAMELO PLEASE

[@ezrymellis3654]

I dont think they will demolish, the nbl is a very good league -- but it its exciting

[@SwagDoes]

MORE LAMELO PLEASE

[@bigheadache]

If you think RJ and Lamelo are going to come here and demolish the league I think you're going to be in for a severe dose of reality. The NBL is a physical league and RJ and Lamelo are both just kids. Expect them to come in for some physical treatment and be forced to earn minutes. Lamelo's going to need to get on the 'roids, or they are going to need to pair him with a Rodman/Draymond type player to look after him.

[@deco7651]

@Boi the Boi Exactly, don't get me wrong I'm hoping the kids torch the league as I live in Australia and I could easily watch a game but i highly doubt that they will. They will most likely come off the bench maybe start if injuries open up the starting line-up and I'm 100% sure even if they do score a lot it will be inefficient.

[@braydenanderson4523]

Pamela’s lowkey bigger then rj tho

[@CharlesDoubleBands]

The same league that just had Andrew fuckin Bogut as MVP? really?

[@teruhuriwai7513]

Facts

[@PeachythePicker]

Charlie Odeon bogut isn’t the best player in the nbl. Sure he had some big games but many better than him. I’m not sure Ball will do too much in the nbl unless he goes to a crap team

[@Alastair.S]

Just saying the Breakers are the New Zealand team playing in the Australian League (Lamelo will have to live in New Zealand)

[@EM-sz8ft]

Alastair heaps better than freaking lithuania

[@jtl4_videos]

I love your videos so much bro

[@ss7652]

Ball when he enters the draft will be drafted in top 5. Guaranteed you read it here first

[@OGEETOMO]

Teams get import slots as well as the high school spot so actually they both could play if the team is ok with it.

[@andreask4557]

Melo x RJ would be 🔥🔥 wanna see it happen so bad!

[@Schiltzenberger]

Demolish everyone for a year????... lol The NBL is more competitive than you think.

[@JimMiDaxX]

GREAT VIDEO!!!! AND YES!!! GIVE THE PPL WHAT THEY WANT!!!!!

[@Iaintsayinnothin..]

7:38 FAX, remember how the LKL blew up when Melo joined?

[@LM-ge4so]

I remember him averaging like 4ppg on 14% shooting for the season

[@jtl4_videos]

🔥🔥🔥

[@ricardoreams]

But is rule the same being that melo has played professional already so technically the amateurism of high school player doesn't work for him

[@Progressionmusic1]

ricardoreams but he’s going to their league from H.S so it depends on how they look at it

[@ricardoreams]

@@Progressionmusic1 I get that but it's not high school its prep school so would be able to go to league if body of work was better with pops doing jba and overseas he has no amateur status so shouldn't count

[@SuperHeavyDave]

LOL! Big difference in playing HS kids to playing against men looking to feed their kids... Superteam might be a little strong.

[@xavierrivera9130]

If the league will “allow” ? What league ? What the nba got to do with them playing overseas ?

[@metroboomin4981]

the77 they tampering trust

[@davidj3151]

You know there’s more than just one basketball league right? It’s referring to the nbl (national basketball league) a league in Australia and New Zealand.

[@dumbthings7800]

Melo is a pro so he can sign As a pro

[@memesperson2287]

The 'Next star program' the NBL created only allows one draft eligible player per team so no they can't play together in the same team

[@kissIandd]

Fried chicken Sam lamelo has already been a pro so im pretty sure he can get a regular pro contract

[@PeachythePicker]

Tuff1x I think under nbl rising stars program he qualifies. However a couple of teams that are struggling financially can only afford 2 imports so he could be a cheap third import

[@memesperson2287]

It will only happens if the leagues allows it and to have 2 under developed players in the same team is a huge risk to the club because one will have to fill the import spot. These guys arnt gonna come and dominate and will most likely see an avwrage of 10 minutes a game

[@PeachythePicker]

Fried chicken Sam I don’t think they will both play for the same team. I think lamelo might go to Illawarra if anyone. I think Hampton will get about 20 minutes a game. I think he will go ok in the nbl

[@memesperson2287]

@@PeachythePicker it all comes down whether NZ are title contenders or not that will determine his minutes im guessing. The league is focus on their development and preparing them for the nba. Melo is a good fit for the hawks but i could see him wanting to go to a big market team such melb, sydney or perth. Most likely if does come the league will assign him the the new club the Pheonix

[@lukeoshea2323]

Easy on the superteam talk!!! In Australia the NBL is full of tough vets and talent and 2 18/19 year old kids wont be a superteam! They maybe fun to watch but will get beat up by tough ass Aussie players who dont flop!

[@splashman2439]

Why are you mentioning Kemba Walker?? Hes not the same draft class with brandon jennings

[@JetSawce003]

High school graduation they mean

[@deco7651]

They were in the same class in HS, Kemba just didn't get into the league as quick as Jennings. Kemba played at UCONN for a couple of years before entering the league.

[@fresnoniiji]

Is actually going to a pro league this time? Last time they were on a minor league team which explains why liangelo didnt get drafted.

[@ManFinest]

If you are going to the league anyway, why not get paid a year earlier.

[@IT-28]

He's going to the crappiest team in the NBL, so RJ's gonna shine n be their star player easily 😂

[@B_-us4nq]

Your comment that Lamelo Ball would "demolish the league" is absurd. Lamelo Ball was in Lithuania one year ago and averaged 4 points on 27% shooting and was benched because he would not play defense and was not coachable. Watch the video when he played L. Rytas, (it is on KZbin) he looked like absolute trash --- 7pts in 23 minutes on 2 for 15 shooting? Lamelo's team got blown out by 33 points? This is against a bunch of slow ass white boyz. What is going to happen when he plays against even better competition in the NBL or China? How has he improved over the last year? He came back to the USA and played against weaker competition and his HS team lost to another HS team ranked 3,000 in the country. Also, there is a HUGE disconnect between the athletic ability of Lamelo and guys like RJ Hampton and Ferguson (guys who have a legitimate shot at making the NBA). Ferguson is jumping from almost the free throw line and dunking also Ferguson is doing 360's off a two foot jump. Watch some of Hampton's clips, he is doing the same, dunking in traffic catching alleys off two feet and dunking. This compares to Lamelo who needs like a 747 Jumbo Jet runway to dunk off a one foot jump at 6'7. I have never seen Lamelo dunk off a two foot jump, what is his vertical leap like 15 inches? My opinion is that Lamelo is not going to play in the NBL or China because no team in their right mind wants to give him any sort of minutes and he will be a bench player. Lamelo's representation (his Daddy) is probably insisting that Lamelo needs to start, which is not going to happen because teams in the NBL and China want to win games. Lamelo did not enhance his team in Lithuania they were last in the league.

[@deexk7189]

your right about 1 thing here , this is just YOUR opinion .

[@LM-ge4so]

He shot 19% at spire this year from 3 and they played one of the most garbage schedules of any high school in the country

[@LM-ge4so]

I agree he won't play in the NBL or the China league I bet he hides somewhere again for a year avoiding all competition and praying some GM drafts him late in round 2 based on "potential" which won't happen

[@B_-us4nq]

@@LM-ge4so It is crazy and amazing to me how Lamelo Ball's name is thrown around on these KZbin videos like he is an NBA draft pick and some star in the making. I agree with your point that we may never see Lamelo play in a professional game next year, that is very possible. The only way he plays in the NBL or China is if he comes off the bench. The problem with that, is that it does not fit the Lavar Ball narrative that he is a "one and done". If Lamelo steps one foot on the floor in the NBL and China and does not produce decent numbers, his draft stock will plummet because it factually and statistically demonstrates that he has improved from the TRASH stats that he put up in Lithuania a year ago, whereby he averaged 4 points on 27% shooting, was a negative impact on his team, showed he is not coachable and does not play defense. This is a completely different scenario than this Hampton kid who has never played pro and is much more athletic. I don't agree with these comparison of Lamelo and this Ferguson kid from OKC. Ferguson is a crazy athlete, he is like jumping from the free thrown and dunking. Lamelo Ball does not have even close to that athletic presence and probably never will. Lonzo was a freak athlete in 11th grade, Lamelo don't have that bounce and those twitch muscles.

[@LM-ge4so]

I agree Ferguson got drafted in the 1st round even tho he scored like 5ppg in the NBL because he fit a role in the NBA of a possible 3 and D guy with great athleticism. lamelo fits no role in the NBA because he can't shoot, can't play D, and isn't very athletic by NBA standards so he better put up great numbers if he wants to get drafted.

[@AceSolox]

damn i didnr kno lamelo can't play college ball

[@travistoia3819]

Rj isn't going to Australia

Mate, I'm from Australia, it's either play fair and hard, or go home. No superteams (except for Sydney Roosters in the NRL)

[@mikeg6606]

LOL - Lamelo isn't demolishing jack down here bro. And nobody is changing the rules for him either. In fact given all the drama involved with his family I'd be pretty surprised if a team down here wanted him unless they somehow got him for free with media deal of some kind.

[@MrJonesdigital]

I'm hearing Lamelo will be a import player, so he wouldn't be a "NBA rising star player".

[@PeachythePicker]

Mr. Jones nbl has a rule where teams can get players from high school under the rising stars rule. I believe the nbl even pays their wages.
