Since November 15th, LaMelo Ball is averaging 35.3/6.8/8.8/1.3/0.3 on 60.8% TS despite only averaging 4.5 FTA per game. He has finished with at least 34/5/5 in each game, that is the longest streak of 34+ point games by any player at any point so far this season.

The Hornets are 2-2 during this stretch. They have faced the Bucks, Knicks, Celtics and Wizards.

With the way LaMelo is playing right now he is definetly looking like he will make his second All-Star appearance. He also has the second longest active streak of 25+ point games in a row with 9. He is only second to Kevin Durant who currently has 14.

Please pair up with Wemby

He’d be getting more if he had a good whistle, but yeah once Ball got healthy it’s not surprise that he’s balling out.

[–] rimpressure@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Classic victim mentality. Blame everything on the refs instead of holding LaMelo accountable for his weak foul drawing ability.

[–] Zura-Zura@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Sadly only hornets fans care 😞

Fancy way of saying “most PPG in the last 9 days”

[–] basketblog@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

or fancier still - “tomorrow it will be the most PPG in the last 10 days”

i seriously love LaMelo now , ultimate underdog hornets and every time i watch LaMelo play i see him do something ive never seen any other player in history do

he is insanely creative and innovative with this sport and i fully support and love it

i honestly was pissed and felt bad when the league made him cover up his tattoo , its just bullshit to me but he was a good sport about it

also just wanted to shout out his bro Lonzo who i feel so depressed for, i really was impressed his game he seemed very professional high level player ; injuries fucking suck

but thank god for LaMelo continuing on the Balls name haha

(also havent heard much from their dad as of late, seems like he chilled a bit since his kids got in the pros)

That first sentence is fucking WILD lmao

this is ball propaganda

Ant Lamelo debate is back on the menu

[–] DrBigChicken@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Solid 4 game stretch. Hopefully they can give this cat some help

[–] basher505@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I don't watch a lot of Charlotte games. How is Lemelo on the defensive end?

[–] guydudeguybro@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Sells out for steals can lead to him getting burned some. However, much improved since rookie year. For an example of improvement see this

[–] basher505@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Nice! I especially like that it was Hali he shut down in that clip.

Meat riding is crazy lmao - it is November 24th 💀

[–] SeriesIRL@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Yup. This is on par with all the other random stat lines we see now a days that bleacher report and karma farmers try to hype ... Jokic is the first player in NBA history to average 26.327 ppg, 10.89 rpg, and 8.41 apg on Thursdays in December while only eating cheeseburgers the day before. No one fucking cares.

[–] AccomplishedFront563@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I see your point but. we do care a lot more about the 2x mvp champ than Lamelo’s 4th week stats

[–] u2nloth@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Nah I disagree on your example, you example is a cherry picked stats with arbitrary cut offs and this is more of a single stat being points, while this is more of Lamelo is scoring a shit ton rn and the other stats are to add context to how good he’s been outside of scoring, while it’s a real small sample size I don’t think it’s the same thing as the infamous Thad young type stats

[–] whiskeyinthejaar@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Time flies man. One day its the 18th, a week later it is 22nd.

But what about since November 22?

[–] Neophyte_Gardener@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Bruh that's nothing. since November 22 young and hali be averaging 38 and 37 ppg.

[–] chloroform42@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Trivial, the Hawks have a 149 ORTG since the last quarter moon

[–] u2nloth@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Honestly the 25+ point game streak is the most impressive imo the 9 day barrier is a little weird a too small of a sample size to draw conclusions on

[–] Khione_Asteri@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

terribly pale imitation of MITWB’s work. gotta get that insight UP. tell me HOW he’s getting these buckets, what’s making him the HOTTEST scorer in the league rn. you’re just regurgitating wikipedia ass information. are you a fucking AI?

[–] Critical-Adhole@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Okay so for 8 days?

[–] somehowie@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

He also leads the league in words said that can't be understood.

[–] Warpios@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Had me checking the date. 9 days…

[–] tony_countertenor@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Alternative title: LaMelo ball is having a good week

[–] dlo7astate@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

What about since November 14th?

[–] Honorous_Jeph@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It’s because he doesn’t eat vegetables. Only chicken ham and turkey. Oh wait, and some peach cobbler too.

So he’s a good stats bad team guy?

This makes the hornets look pretty bad imo

[–] twovles31@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

How dare they name Jalen Brunson Eastern Conference player of the week over Lamelo.

[–] VelvetC123@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

That’s because I’m playing against him in fantasy this week.

[–] jslee0034@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Very cherry picked stats but happy for Melo man watched him grow up pretty much…

Really hope he makes the all star team because he’s so fun to watch. Hope him playing for Charlotte doesn’t hinder his odds especially since he’s playing like one.

[–] New-Distribution-952@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

dude is fortunate to be part of this “no defense” era where everyone’s stats are inflated.

[–] WowYouGotMe@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

So for 8 days? Lol

[–] vanjaeesti@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

These stats don’t matter if you are on a losing basketball team.

[–] Rumking@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Too bad he’s a total dingus
