Miles Bridges Surprised LaMelo Ball with Rookie of the Year Award

Charlotte Hornets rookie LaMelo Ball was a pretty popular pick to win NBA Rookie of the Year, but he wasn’t necessarily a shoe-in after the season Anthony Edwards had. Plus LaMelo had an injury that kept him out for a portion of the season. In the end, it was Melo that took home the honors, and Charlotte Hornets teammate Miles Bridges was the one tasked with surprising him.

Took a little while for LaMelo to see it.
