LaMelo Ball VS RANKED PG GETS HEATED!!! Fans Talking Mad SH*T to Melo! LaVar LOVES It!

LaMelo Ball had 19 Points, 10 Rebounds and 8 Assists in a Spire Win vs West Oaks Academy (FL). West Oaks was led by #92 Player in the Nation in the class of 2019 PG Tyrell "Turbo" Jones who is committed to Auburn. This is LaMelos first game vs a Top Ranked PG while playing for Spire Academy and he proved capable and hungry to play other top competition like #1 PG in Class of 2019 Cole Anthony

The only thing you could say bad is his demeanor about it. In realistic NBA terms He's a 6'6 PG who can pass,shoot handle steal and rebound all at a high level which is why he caught a triple double and splashed 3s this whole game.Did you even watch the video before saying this stupid shit ? 😂

Couple things I learned from this video...... 1. Melo is the third best player on his team. They are loaded with talent though. 2. Jackson is a straight beast (number 22 for Spire). 3. Melo can not play on a team that plays man to man defense. His man defense is terrible and he loves playing the top of the zone where he can get out and cherry pick on every missed shot. 4. The foul called at 5:24 was a terrible call. 5. Melo has embraced his role as a passer first, scorer second. This alone has improved his once terrible shot selection. This is a good thing for him moving forward. 6. Those are the ugliest pair of $400 dollar shoes on the market. They look like a refs shoe. (6:57)
