[@StylesOBBALL245]

😂😂 too much in the zone

[@Sup_bro23]

he's insane. the only thing seperating him from being one of the best guards is his ability to play off two feet

[@thekidshere6955]

Yeah allot of that comes back to him being a little more patient in the paint

[@davidben-shahar7667]

I think he is one of the best guards bro

[@rickysoup]

and his lack of defensive effort and his durability

[@Zaddy.1k]

Doesn’t matter. He makes almost all his shots and is dropping 25+ to 30 pt games a night back to back with straight threes in a row… is accuracy is crazy

[@donaldzuramp4404]

And injuries

[@MrTheTomahawk]

You can tell he had freedom growing up. But there are fundamentals he has worked on in his game. He plays best in motion and it’s beautiful to watch.

[@hmohngcheelee7549]

Man that hornets team is actually going to be a problem in the future, with Melo, and Brandon Miller. Not to mention Mark Williams and Nick Richards.

[@thekidshere6955]

[@jameslucas4173]

[@Devynious]

He reminds me of shai if instead of a dominant mid range maestro he’s just a 3 point demon 😭 that ankle flexibility on that snatch back and his ability to shoot anything he wants and find his spots is just beautiful

[@puhlease4289]

What about Penny?

He is good at midrange with his floater

[@jackiemartling5321]

@roboticvenom1935 - I really can't hear it, but if you say so. The "I gang, he gang" alone is kinda ignorant. He does have a very fun style of play on the court though.

[@vfgoditachyyy8446]

the most versatile shooter ive ever seen. he switches up his form depending on the situation. i wouldn´t be surprised if he starts shooting them left handed when fading to his right its so mesmerizing

[@FinancialCharles]

I’ve never seen anyone play like him before. He’s one of a kind. One of the all time greats in my opinion

[@bizbaby]

Bro be carrying and traveling… but we’ll call it a pocket dribble I guess

[@axoishim]

Don’t blame the player blame the game

[@elwalker9034]

"...plenty of space to rise up." But then he doesn't rise up. Never have I seen somebody shoot jumpers but regularly not jump. Confident, rangy/lanky, but highly intelligent.

[@Hiaki1000]

I love how 40% 3P on 12 attempts per game is "pretty good" lmao

[@bigradwolf5001]

Because of law of average. HIs career is 38% shooting less. Now he shoots more but is able to hit more. Would you rather have Jalen Green? He is also hitting more with more attempts this season so far. The difference is there is higher probability that Jalen will regress to his 33% average soon. Lamelo could keep this current streak as it's just 2% regression.

[@Hiaki1000]

@bigradwolf5001 idk if I understand what you mean, but I meant it's very good not just "pretty good", not that it's bad

[@doriangongar1859]

@@Hiaki1000 14years ago 40 percent meant u were an elite 3 point shooter. klay and steph fucked it up

[@ScootJagg]

Taking 12 shots in an nba game & making 4-5 of them is a great job .. if your defending someone and they make every other shot your going to start respecting the shot . And opening up the game for him and everyone else

[@bandedski2550]

Right? It's absolutely filthy to hit that many on 40%, thought that was a weird way to put it.

[@LordHema]

Good insight into his offensive "repertoire". 10:16 is incredible! He is such a unique playmaker. I wish his "pocket dribbling" and extra steps were officiated more strictly. One thing that remains consistent and, imo, crucial to his shot-making is his follow-through.

[@vfgoditachyyy8446]

he plays like he has never seen a basketball tutorial of any sort. He plays like he doesn´t know what "guide-hand" oder "pick and roll" even mean lmao he just does what he feels like will get his team a bucket because he looks so purely instinctual man he is must-see TV

[@thomaselswood9852]

been so good this year one of the best player to watch atm

[@skive3K]

He plays like how we did in high school gym class , not overthinking and just playing like he with the homies running pick up & it’s effective

[@TheNewFreshFuture]

Awesome video! It's funny how Ja and Melo are the most exciting players in the NBA rn but each is better in the aspect that another is missing, just imagine Ja with Melo's shooting or Melo with Ja's finishing... 😵

[@bigradwolf5001]

Ja is way more than scoring....he's a playmaker.

[@logohuntin]

If Melo had bounce and a dunk game he’d be Michael Jordan

[@michaeljacobs784]

If melo was more athletic he would be more penny to me than Jordan.

He's easily the best passer in the league rn. Yes, even better than Nikola

[@carterthom7911]

Averaging 5 turnovers, interesting

[@DeuceAlchemist]

@carterthom7911 beginning of season, just came back after not playing for a year....... try not to say dumb shit.......

[@und3rworldmedia_]

trae young & luka are both better passers than melo

[@trocustar3450]

Jokic and trae averaging 11 assist and 4 turnovers. While melo 6 assist to 4 turnovers. Not good passer imo right now

[@mambaASI]

terrible take. jokic, luka, even trae and hali are arguably better passers...

[@z0mbyd0nky]

Lamelo shoots a lot like I used to and I'm 41 so I been doing it before he was born lol it is a quick effortless shot and once you get it down it is very accurate. This way of shooting no need to jump even from half court. This is probably why he is my favorite player now

[@twin_b2]

pause at 1:31 i'm in top right corner in hornets jersey behind guy with green shirt lol

[@musicthemusicalperson4316]

Micah Lancaster talks about this all the time - the ability to change set points on your shot depending on the situation. I think Lamello is just a product of thay new generation training.

[@jaymata1218]

Dude, you should cover his practices. I've seen sessions where he's practicing shots and purposefully playing off balance... like tilting his head, moving weirdly... it looks like he's spazzing out.

[@sh0765]

i dont understand the fundamentals of basketball shooting, but coming from another sport (hockey), the thing that stands out to me is how centered his body/weight is when he shoots. Thats a great recipe for sucess in any sport.

He doesn't want to get injured which is the reason for picking up his dribble when driving to the basket

Its nor a carry on paper. Its totally legal.

He oddly can make a shot with one leg little to no jump shot. Its not a jumpshot but just a tip toe shot. I tried it its hard.

Sooo Melo is quick but not at all a good athlete. Sucks moving his hips on D, he’s 6’6+ and might get 5 dunks per year max. I love Melo, he’s one of my favorite players but as far as nba athleticism he’s pretty mid. He’s got an amazing iq, vision, and as unorthodox as it is his shot is wet.
