A mover who’s helping LaMelo Ball relocate to Minnesota gives us a last look at his Charlotte penthouse
Dude lived in a Spencer’s at the mall. 😂
Shit looks like a meow wolf exhibit lmao
Haha spot on. The wife and I just did the one in Dallas
Went to the one in Denver in April. So cool. Some of the stuff, especially the urban street area was on some Disney Imagineer level work.
This is beyond accurate lmfao
Not enough sex toys
You sure about that?
You don’t know that
I think he’s a virgin, based on this video and nothing else.
Not enough Invader Zim stuff
Needs more GIR!
With the right mindset, anything can be a dildo
Theyre already in Minnesota. They were the first priority items to move. 😂
Missing a lava lamp and it would’ve been complete 😂
This got me cracking up. Spot on. Crazy to have spent all that money to customize that spot when he could’ve just visited the mall
Zap zone ass house
Yeah this is pretty much exactly what I would expect LaMelo’s penthouse to look like lol love his game but it’s very “dumb teenage stoner who never grew up and was suddenly given a shit ton of money”
Disclaimer edit: I would also have an apartment full of stupid shit if I had that much money at his age
Frat house if you were worth millions instead of $300
I mean yeah, dude is 24. This is pretty similar to what I imagine most 24 year olds house if they had millions
Maybe 16-19, at 24 this is kinda out there
This reminds me of that Iman Shumpert interview where he says a lot of guys will stop maturing around the time they get their first big paycheck.
LeMelo was 16 when he started playing professionally overseas and had just turned 19 before getting drafted. So it kinda makes sense that he’s emotionally stuck in that late teenager mindset.
He’s been making money for a long time, he probably bought this years ago and it feels like home to him.
Idk at 24 I wouldn’t have made my place look like an alien themed laser tag arena
Yeah, not everyone had a 12 year old on a sugar high aesthetic at 24.
Yeah at 24 I’d have a basic interior design probably but with stupid shit like sports memorabilia and stuff like that, wouldn’t want the effort of all that. I’d just blow my money on cars and girls and other stupid 24 year old shit instead lol
I don’t know anyone who would decorate their place like this at 24 no matter how much money they had lol
I’m 32 and if I had that much money my place would 100% look this stupid if not more so.
Right? Who are these mythical 24 year olds…on the internet?!
no, most 24 year olds arent into this gaudy crap
Most 24 year olds are also broke, maybe they’d be into this stuff if they were loaded.
You think way too highly of 24 year olds. There’s millions of 24 year olds into this.
I’m 25 and never once in my life have I thought this is quality decor
What kind of 24 year olds do you know lol
Nah, I think a lot of frat bros would find this shit to be tacky, especially the preppy ones.
Yeah bro Keystone box wall papers and old liquor bottles as decoration in the kitchen is way less tacky.
Hey man, those boxes were tacked to the walls for insulation. And I collected beer glasses I stole from bars as decorations, not something trashy like empty liquor bottles.
This some Riley Freeman shit
Thugnificent
Lol, I can see Lavar as granddad, Lonzo as Huey, and LiAngelo as wannabe Gangstalicious
This place would stress me out so much. How does he find any peaceful moments in his day while living like that?
I used to have a roommate that decorated like that, having less stuff doesn’t make them feel peaceful.
Let’s be honest though if I were 24 and single I’d love to live here
Man y’all have horrible taste
Must be a lot of stoners on here I guess. Cause dear lord this shit is ugly and not at all homey.
Yeah I mean don’t get me wrong I’d have tons of stupid shit all over my apartment too if I had made that much money at that age. It’s just funny that it’s so, so on brand for him
He’s got a family though
I was 24 and single once, and this would be one of the last places I would have wanted to live lol
My “man cave” is just a room where I try to build a room I wish I had when I was a teenager. Videogames, VHS tapes, CRT TV. It would look 10 times “dumber” if I can just throw money on stuff and I had the space.
“dumb teenage stoner who never grew up and was suddenly given a shit ton of money”
Bro is on a 200mm dollar contract, that’s exactly what happened lmao
He got emotionally frozen in amber the day he got drafted.
I would love to see wemby’s house to compare.
It’s a huge house with all empty rooms except for one with a Chet Holmgren picture on a singular wall with a X over it
Thanks for the belly laugh 😆
I’m slowly filling a house with dumb shit, it’s just taking me longer
My room if I was rich at 9 years old
I’m just surprised no aquirium floors
I heard AD’s place in NOLA had a room where all four walls were one enormous custom saltwater aquarium. Also heard it leaked and caused massive mold damage.
Just want to add a quick PSA that virtually all “lavish” and “eccentric” fish tanks are unethical treatment of the fish, an insane amount of upkeep, and is one of the quickest ways to completely destroy a house.
Out of curiosity, why is it unethical vs non lavish set ups? Obviously there’s no guarantee but I imagine someone rich enough to install one would spend the money to maintain them.
Thierry Henry got permission to build a four-story aquarium along the staircase in his London home but abandoned it when neighbors complained. What is it with athletes and huge fish tanks?
https://reefs.com/soccer-player-thierry-henry-plans-to-install-a-5-500-gallon-ps250-000-aquarium-in-london-residence/
Aquariums are fucking cool as shit. That’s it. I know nothing about fish but if I was a multimillionaire I can guarantee I’d have a sick ass aquarium.
Reef tanks are sick asf, too bad they’re minimum $1000 for even a small ass one
Any idea why they complained? Seems odd they would be able to dictate what went on inside someone else’s home.
(I’m assuming this was a standalone home and not some multi-story apartment where neighbours or at least the building council should have a say in something like that.)
Idk how you relax in that space. The lighting would be so overstimulating. Dude lived in a vape shop.
Young stoner vibes in that place 1000%
He also has tattoos that I would have wanted at 9 y/o.
The Rick and Morty portrait sums it up.
Intelectually, he is somewhat around that age
Perfect comment tbh.
That 10k USD needing a disclaimer to not be used for pizza cravings is so on brand for LaMelo
Also it being a “safety net” in case he loses his job and his millions of dollars. Surely 10k will get him by for… Another day or two.
I spy incense sticks…. Please don’t tell me a w**d smoker is joining my christian basketball server
It wasn’t obvious before you saw the incense?
This set up tells me he dabbles in more than weed
Right, totally visits Lucy in the sky with diamonds
There’s no hope with dope.
It’s gonna be like a Cypress Hill concert in Minneapolis. You don’t rent to those type of people.
The way it’s done, I would not he surpised if this was an actual product he bought and not made
I would like to purchase the “LaMelo Ball mid-exorcism queefs an octopus to another dimension: sponsored by Puma” mural please. 🙏🏻
Probably paid $11k for it
The clearly AI written sub-text is a nice touch, too.
This looks like somewhere I’d take my 4yo to play for $15 before he cries for lunch
“Yeah buddy, too many big boy games am I right?”
If that mover didn’t have permission to do this, sharing your client’s possessions with the internet is pretty messed up.
this is the first thing i thought of, this is a pretty great way to get fired immediately i would think
How many of us immediately thought this, and then still watched the video…
🙋
onus isn’t on us
he prob told the mover to do the video lmao
Yeah the video is clearly intended to hype up his shit too, even if everyone here hates it lol. Plus I doubt someone could go around his house filming like this with no one taking issue with it
It’s not like he’s there. If anyone had an issue with it then it would after the fact
I’m assuming there’s someone else there (security, family, whoever). I don’t really know how it works for rich people, but I’m assuming they would want someone at least kinda supervising the process given how expensive some of this stuff is.
Plus it would be really dumb as a professional mover to post something without permission and potentially tank your business. Not that people don’t do dumb stuff, it just seems unlikely to me here
agreed. however, a decade ago i was in a decked out townhouse with a very similar vibe- except more “cartoon skulls” and i just asked the owner if i could take some pictures and he said go for it 😂. it was just so over the top i had a feeling he’d want people to see it
Laser tag at the local kids zone vibes
I don’t know why this is so funny but I’m cracking up. He’s living like a 90s Spencer’s Toys store
This whole time he was driving in a rush to get back to Spencer’s
big wemby fan i guess
There’s a cartoon in there randomly with their pants down. Just, ass out. I don’t even have a point, just making mention of it.
the ass out neon sign is by a famous artist, KAWS, which doesn’t excuse the fact that they should’ve labeled is “KAWS out”
It’s a take on a very famous image of Bart Simpson. Not that I think it’s good art but it’s not especially RaNDoM.
This is the corniest apartment I’ve ever seen
it’s so corny that i kinda respect it lol. i could not live like that for even 90 seconds, but some small part of me thinks that it kinda rules. like, this is how someone without an ounce of self-awareness lives. and it’s part of me is envious of people who are like that lol.
the problem is that 99.9% of people who live that way are absolute fucking narcissistic asshats. at least he can dribble and shoot an orange ball into a hoop pretty good. and honestly, to be fair: other than his abhorrent driving, i haven’t seen anything to suggest that he’s anything other than a genuinely nice, hard-working, upstanding-enough fellow. so… all power to him, i guess. lol.
“Other than this absolutely fucking narcissistic asshat behavior (reckless driving), nothing he does indicates he’s a narcissistic asshat”
Seriously I get the guy is 24 and doesn’t really need to care what anyone else thinks but man this is all so much even for the man cave…
Even when I was 18 I would have hired an interior designer or the manager at a furniture store or something just to have my place feel like somewhere I can unwind and not… this. The black walls are a tragedy and my god I can’t imagine wanting my whole house to have them.
Honestly out of everything there the fucking black walls got me the most. Imagine needing some solitude and having to calm your mind in a laser tag waiting area 24⁄7.
A laser tag waiting room with 100 Rick and Morty-style murals of yourself staring at you everywhere you go and most certainly reminding you of the exact stress you’re trying to unwind from…
You got it dead on. I was going to say it’s almost like a decent night club but just too classless and cluttered (artistically/texturally). I wouldn’t want to live in some night club/bar either but at least it would be better than this.
It’s so fucking Reddit too.
It’s like r/gooncaves if they had $100 million dollars
Bet I would’ve thought this rocked when I was 10.
Hilarious to me that he has all this “sports bro who never grew up since high school” stuff, and then has a trans inclusion sign on his bathroom
The sign is there for the alien, not for the trans stuff.
Aliens deserve rights too
Eh this is invasive af
Yeah agreed. I assumed this was part of their agreement to make some social media posts, but if not, I wouldn’t be hiring dudes who are putting me on blast on socials.
If Melo ever gets traded back to Charlotte, then gets traded again and needs another Charlotte-based mover, there’s no way he’s hiring this guy, that’s for sure!
I thought you meant the apartment until I read the rest of the comments. And I agreed.
I feel like I’m on LSD looking at this. I’ve never even had it.
It’s much better than this.
Good news is it’s not even close to the real thing lmao
At least he’s telling people to wash their hands.
And being inclusive while doing it!
That part had me laughing. Like alright fair play on that one
Dudes entire house is a Rick and Morty ash tray
Like a Minecraft kid’s room but for ball
LaMelo lives in the Foot Clan’s layer
Layer or lair?
There’s layers to this lair
How can someone think in this place, let alone sleep or do anything productively haha. Just too crazy for me. But 100% on brand for LaMelo
How can someone think in this place
For LaMelo that’s a feature, not a bug
Reminds me of the jay z line - “you can pay for school but you can’t buy class”
Interesting choice to go with the aesthetic of an arcade that’s inside of a bowling alley
If you asked a kindergartener to design their dream house, it’d look a lot like this
I can’t imagine actually living there. I’d lose my mind
Dude.. what the fuck is that Kitchen?
As someone who loves cooking, the Kitchen is one of the main rooms in my house.
He has all that money and have THAT for a kitchen?
You think he’s cooking ever? Hell no.
Some dude invented the 3 point line and now we are here
Yeah, he’s a child.
LaMelo is just putting on an act. we all know he is dollar-cost-averaging VOO
Very high likelihood he’ll be one of those athletes who goes broke within 5 years after retiring from the NBA.
Dollar cost averaging? I think LaMelo would have pored over Vanguard’s 2012 study, “Dollar-Cost Averaging Just Means Taking Risk Later,” and gone with a lump-sum approach. I mean, duh.
dude lived in a vape shop
I saw people writing on social media that it is as bad as his tattoos taste, something like that.
god this guy is braindead
What’s wrong with someone’s brain to prefer this?
Dude’s got THE worst taste in everything lol
This is how a child would wish to live
A child’s idea of cool.
Dude is Jesse Pinkman if he was rich, and good at basketball
Haha this is horrendous taste and it’s awesome.
A 8 year olds dream
Dudes hating on this while their wife painted the whole house white on grey. Get a life. This is exactly what a 24 year old with 9 figures should be doing
Still a kid at heart. Living like he got the blank check.
It looks like a roller skating rink that’s only open two weekends a month in Medina, Minnesota.
you know what, it’s very chaotic but it has a theme
Looks so chaotic, i hate it
Wonder if he smokes weeduh?
r/idiotnests
Guy needs to hire a LaInterior decorator
Ahh yes exactly who I would want to sign to a max contract and leverage my future for!
I’m glad he washes his hands
The smell… you haven’t thought of the smell!
This is what I think would happen if you gave a 15 year old unlimited funds to make his dream house.
Lowkey forgot he got traded.
This is not an adult home. The immaturity is real
When you let a 10 year old boy decorate the house
man’s got style
not good style, but it’s style
This is what I feel a college freshman frat boy coming from rich parents would choose to decorate their house as until mom and dad come over to visit to see what their kid is doing to their fourth home lol
His penthouse looks like the house-equivalent of a Rick and Morty rolling tray
Huh
Strange kid
I’m wondering if the dude who posted this still has a job. Seems like this wouldn’t be aligned with company policy.
😂 yeah that’s about what I expected
Looks like Spencer’s and Sharper Image had a baby and that baby took a shit.
bruh 😀
I could really use those 10 bands right now.
I got so annoyed at this shit I had to calm myself down and say “it’s okay, he’s like 22, 23. He’ll learn.”
Then I went and looked it up…bro is nearly 25! This is embarrassing
I can’t imagine being this obsessed with myself.
Preteen’s 12⁄25
“And it’s gonna have sodas and candies and aliens and shoes and a big cutout of me like I’m in Rick and Morty and —“
Hey, at least he has an inclusive bathroom
Dude really is as dumb as he comes across for real
Bruh took the interior designer to Dave and Busters and said I want it like this lol
It’s truly insane we pay these people so much money for entertainment purposes…
Blank Check in 2026
Brother is proof you can’t buy taste. I mean, very on brand for a young guy with tons of money, but my fuck does that look like Chuck E. Cheese smoked synthetic weed
It’s literally a 14 year olds dream palace
I want to see the real estate listing. Maybe the first time in history a Realtor will have to really earn their commission.
The movie “Big” comes to mind.
Money can’t buy class
I would have loved this when I was 8 years old.
Dude living in Pee-Wee’s playhouse
Type of childhood dream house
Spectacular
lol the $10k, only thing I liked in this apartment
If I needed anything to never root foe Lamelo again, this is it LOL
I hate him so much lol
Pounds of weed got smoked there
NBA players don’t go broke now because they had too much money, not because of financial education.
This gotta be bait
Looks like a douchebag chuck-e-cheese
The Brainrot dungeon
What kind of Hot Topic bullshit is this?
Dude definitely owns a Bored Ape
