LaMelo Ball Already Taunting his Opponents

Charlotte Hornets rookie LaMelo Ball is a big baller. Which means he’s got swag for days. Part of having that kind of confidence is sometimes you do things that the other team may not like. The #3 overall pick in this year’s NBA draft is already showing off his moves. He hit his first three pointer.

Now we know for sure that LaMelo can shoot and pass, can he talk some trash. You betcha. Melo hit a three pointer and turned to the opposing team’s bench to let them know.

Melo needs to maintain that same confidence going into the regular season, but you don’t want your opponents to get fired up to guard you.  Melo has probably never heard you can “kill with em kindness.”

We know his Pops certainly didn’t teach him that.
