Whoever looks like a high school gimmick seems like the next thing. The Charlotte star has already overtaken his brother Lonzo, become Michael Jordan’s biggest hope and flooded with one question: Is it possible that Beer Bull was right?

Lamelo Ball has everything it takes to be a superstar, or a diligent failure. His shot is weird, the shooting is suspicious and Dad has already proven how much damage his mouth can do. On the other hand his dedication is exceptional, the potential in the sky and at 19 he has more followers on Instagram than Bradley Bill, John Wall and Rudy growing together. And if all that is not enough, he is also Michael Jordan’s greatest hope.
The enthusiasm around Lamello did not start when he became the youngest player ever to record a triple double, nor when he met his brother Lonzo, and even in the draft all eyes were already on him. The enthusiasm surrounding Charlotte’s third pick began somewhere in 2013 when the sports world first heard about the Bull family’s prophecy, and today it is coming true before our very eyes.
“In the long run, Amelo will be the best basketball player in the family,” he promised Lonzo Eight years ago when his younger brother committed to UCLA at the age of 13, and over time the father of Beer Doug also reinforced that claim. “Lamello is something special,” he said. “Ever since I was a baby I knew it and now you all see it.” After about a month in the big leagues, which included a first meeting between the two (and a one-sided one), it can be said that Amalo becomes the face of the Kardashian family in the NBA version.

A basketball player who has become a celeb or a celeb who has become a basketball player?
To be honest, at first Lamelo would have looked more like a gimmick than anything else. He played like one who if you were to send his performance tape to a European coach like Zeljko Oberdovic, he would throw it in the trash. In December 2016 in his second season in high school, the young star of the Chino Hills School scored three of the half a few seconds from the start of the game and within a short time the video had 15 million views on social media. Nice gimmick no?
Two months passed and this phenomenon called the Amalou Ball crossed the US borders and became a household name all over the world. The young coordinator suffered a debut loss in high school (won the championship with a 0:35 balance last season in which he played with his brothers Lonzo and Angelo), and three days later Provided his “game of creation.” Lamello scored 92 points in one game, and from that moment on he became a world-class star. He also gave people another reason to hate the family’s “Big Baller Brand” company, mainly because of his style of play (not all So he believed in coming down for defense) and the extreme number of shots (37 of 61 from the field).
As time went on Amlo only grew as a celeb. He appeared on the family reality show, and in the WWE alongside his father and in the “green room” of the draft when Lonzo was selected by the Lakers, everyone who watched the event knew it was Lamlello and not “Brother of.” In the summer of 2017 he also played in high school against Zion Williamson in a game that became To one of the most popular ever.NBA stars like LeBron James, John Wall and Paul George came to watch the talent, and in the US it is said that LeBron had to leave the hall because it was so crowded. On YouTube, by the way, the battle between the two high school students has about 20 million views.
If we leave the world of celebs and social networks, and focus on basketball, it seems that the parquet floor was also unusually unique. From an early age he encountered defenses that could not be found on a daily basis. In the example in front of you, for example, you can see * Triple Team * far from the ball, which has not yet helped and Amlo stitched a three. gimmick? You laughed at Labar.

And here’s Lamelo’s game against Zion>
The way of Lonzo, of Lamelo and what lies between them
Without Lonzo Ball, Amello would not have the talent he is today. The family’s older brother is the trigger for the brand that Beer Ball has created, for the simple reason that it was there before. In his 11th grade averages were 25 points per game, 11 rebounds, 9.1 assists, 5 steals and 5 blocks, and in his final high school season that ended in a championship and a 0:35 balance he even improved the numbers and averaged a triple-double.
As is well known Lonzo joined UCLA and became a college star, but he also became a victim of his father. “Lonzo is going to be better than Steph Kerry in the NBA,” he argued explain When his son was still playing in college. “Put my son in Golden State and Steph in UCLA and see what happens. Steph will have a hard time keeping Lonzo.”
In retrospect, it can be concluded that the disproportionate “hype” around Lonzo hit him, certainly when compared to Lamelo today and especially if you look at the ceiling of the two. This is because unfortunately for Lonzo he was born in 1997 and not in 2001. He developed under tremendous pressure and with all due respect to the excellent player he is today in New Orleans, at least for now he is not living up to expectations.

The one who won from the no man’s land is of course Lamelo. Even before we touch on the mental aspect, there is also a technical matter here that needs to be understood. Had it not been for Lonzo, Labar would not have founded the BBB company, Lamelo would not have had personal shoes that prevented him from playing in colleges (since he signed with Puma for $ 100m), meaning he would probably have followed in his brother’s footsteps and played for UCLA. Luckily, after a taste of a senior team in Lithuania he is “separated” from Labar, a friend of Jermaine Jackson (his coach and agent) and went on to play in Ohio and Australia before being drafted.
Jackson is the man who saved Lamello both mentally and professionally. The personal trainer replaced Labar who took a step back, clung to Lamelo, flew with him last season to the other side of the world and allowed him industrial quiet. This quietness together with the experience he gained in adulthood (became the youngest American ever to play in adulthood) and the privilege of correcting the mistakes made in Lonzo’s trajectory, allowed Lamelo to fulfill the prophecy.
Good morning Michael Jordan
After a slew of mistakes and bad draft picks that created a complete dissonance between player Jordan and owner Jordan, MJ did the right thing. A few hours before the most “open” draft of recent years, Jordan gave permission to the Charlotte management to select Lamello Ball. According to US media, Michael saw Lamello and got excited about his way of playing.
All that is left for Jordan is to hold fingers and hope that Amelo will not look like most of the players who landed in Charlotte from the draft under his tenure. Here are some of them: Michael Kidd Gilchrist (Option 2), Cody Zeller (Option 4), Noah Vanella (Option 9), Frank Kaminsky (Option 9) and another mistake by Michael is Shay Gilges Alexander who currently stars in Oklahoma City. -11 and was transferred to the Clippers in a trade on Mikel Bridges).
Anyway, the love story with Lamello began in November 2020, but the Bull and Jordan family’s relationship started much, much earlier. In March 2017 LeBar claimed he would “dismantle” Michael one-on-one, and in response the basketball legend replied: “He had no chance even if I had one leg.” After the draft, Lamello Asked about the imaginary encounter on the basketball court, he replied, “We all know how it would have ended.”

Favorite for the degree
As it currently stands, Lamello is on the safe path to winning the rookie title this season. Of the Rockies, he is second on points (11.8), first on rebounds (6.8), first on assists (6.1) and first on steals (1.5). Beyond the nice numbers, the really impressive thing about Lamello is that he’s the only rookie right now who looks like a ‘face’ of a franchise, or at least like one on the way to becoming one.
In 14 games, the young star has not yet started in the top five but according to all commentators overseas the Hornets will make a change in this aspect and promote the rookie in the near future. “Lamello will collaborate with Michael Jordan and not win the title of rookie this season? Are you crazy?”, He said about two months ago you already know who. In the meantime, it seems that here too Be’er knew what he was talking about.
There were a lot of questions along the way. In high school he looked like a player who could not fit into professional basketball, in Lithuania he was said to be not committed to the team at all and defensively in particular, and no one promised us that he would withstand the enormous pressure. Despite everything, Lamello Bull was able to transfer the noise around him directly to the parquet and increase the decibels.
“He’s ready,” they like to say about Lamelo in the U.S. The question is whether we’re willing to admit that this time we just did not address what we were told. Whoever looks like a high school kid who uses basketball to become a network anchor, today makes us use the network to see him become a basketball anchor .
