LaMelo Ball spits on the court
It’s always who you most suspect
Racist dog whistle
I don’t think so in this case
The man has shown with this that he’s not only gross, but careless to an extreme with other people’s safety with his poor driving.
Of course you are arguing that driving high isn’t that bad in your comments
Go ahead, provide a counter to my original comment. That has absolutely nothing to do with the topic at hand.
You trolling or is this how you live your life?
Nasty as hell bro
The fact this guy has fans that aren’t 12 year olds legitimately baffles me
Can’t believe he has any fans after all the driving accidents he’s been in (caused).
why would he lose fans over being bad driver when he isn’t drunk or anything especially given the standards set by athletes. is it so much worse than your star players funding drones?
how about they’re both dicks?
Cause it’s a dick move to drive like a dick. The other shitty players deserve shit too. It’s not an either or situation, you don’t need to frame it that way.
Not a fan of the eight step boogie?
Thank God we have Maxey.
Imagine having your cornerstones be Lamelo and Edwards. All time immature man
He’s fun to watch. Yeah, he’s a clown, but clowns are entertaining too
Well its obvious why in terms of basketball reasons. He’s one of the most fun players in the league to watch.
Will never be a fan of him as a person or anything
Not fun at all. Ugly play style , it’s crazy to me he has fans
He’s pretty fun guy to watch. Not that hard to understand
Nobody cares what a player does, as long as he can score 25 PPG
Can’t stand the guy. He’s barely a bench player in 10 + years ago NBA. That’s how much shit has changed in that short of time
Lmao the NBA has only gotten better what are you talking about
It’s wild that we let just everyone talk about things they don’t know about
He won’t and most guys dont last over 4 years
Sitting there watching your downvotes happen is such weird behavior. It’s like you knew you were a little piece of shit and you wanted confirmation.
Sorry for the downvotes you’re about to get because this sub is a bunch of nerds
Also extremely dangerous
I can smell it
LaMelo is just one dumbass kid with lots of money
He is his father’s son.
I think Lonzo is adopted. He seems like the only one with multiple brain cells in that family.
I think its eldest kid syndrome. He was the first so he got a lot of pressure young to be good and take care of his brothers. Melo was gifted early so had more praise than pressure.
Didn’t do a great job taking care of his brothers if they turned out that way. Look at LiAngelo too …
It’s too bad Lonzo has had bad luck with injuries.
Melo is not a winning player
He is not, and that is a shame, because he is so talented.
Siblings often go different directions trying to find their own identity
Being more reserved doesn’t make you a smarter person. Just sayin’.
Yes, a very stupid kid that plays real good basketball and has lots of money.
Kinda confused how that isn’t an ejection unless the refs just completely missed it? Spitting on an indoor court isn’t the same as outside on grass or turf.
The refs missed it, yuck that shit is gross
It’s not just gross/disrespectful. It’s a safety hazard. A player could get seriously hurt slipping on it.
Smell it
If you can smell the stench of your saliva like that then I strongly encourage seeing a doctor lol
How many times you gonna comment that in this thread?
Spitting on an outdoor court is disgusting imho.
I had a friend that used to step in the spit, then use his shoe to wipe it on the shorts of the person who spat on the court. People stopped spitting on the court very fast.
bad moment to be literate
Spitting in general is disgusting. I just swallow it
pause
i think it’s just a tech not an ejection. but that was missed by the refs
yeah, delay of game.
A tech is basically a warning. Spitting on an indoor, hardwood court where not slipping is a necessity shouldn’t need a warning past 3 year olds
A tech isn’t a warning, it’s a punishment. The other team gets an opportunity for points, you get a fine, and accumulate enough and you get a suspension.
I have a hard time understanding why he would think this is executable
He seemed to execute it perfectly.
Touche
Are you sure? We don’t actually see it hit the court.
Is it really a crime if it’s not punished?
he would think
It’s Lamelo Ball. He’s not doing a lot of thinking.
…executable??
Would not surprise me if it ends up being a fine after the game
This was literally right as he was getting his 4th foul in the first 15~ minutes of the game. Absolutely bizarre performance by him tonight.
I’m having a vague memory from back in 2020 when there was a brief time where spitting on the field during baseball games was heavily debated, due to health safety measures that were implimented because of covid. What a weird fucking year that was. Smh
I don’t know the rules about it. Feels like it should probably be a tech or delay of game. Ejection is crazy.
Spitting on the court is crazy
Punishment should be inversely proportional to how easy it is to not do something.
It’s incredibly easy not to be a nasty pig and spit on the court so the punishment should be extremely harsh.
Spitting on the court is insane that should be an instant ejection
Players spit and then run their shoes over it. It “cleans” the bottom so they get more traction, everyone’s done it before
Edit: I’m wrong, some one mentioned the Spurs broadcast said he didn’t wipe his shoes over it
Why didnt he just go to the scores table to use the sticky pad?
Yeah that definitely doesn’t happen in this clip tho
It cuts too soon, he looks like he’s moving over it as it ends
The Spurs broadcast mentioned witnessing the spitting as it happened and also commented that sometimes players run their shoes over it but said they didnt see that happen this time.
Yeah but i still don’t think ive ever seen an nba player do some shit like that before
They do it all the fuckin time
I mean Steve Nash was constantly licking his fingers lmao
Its better than licking your hands and then rubbing your soles which I did in my much younger days.
Iykyk
Yeah the amount of people offended by this, is telling. You can tell who’s never actually played ball
What the fuck are you talking about?
Hoopers spit and then slide their shoes on the court. It gets better grip.
the nba has wet pads on the sideline for the guys to step on.
The fuck does that have to do with my comment? The OC said some bullshit that it doesn’t happen on an indoor court. It happens all the time.
Can’t wait for your next comment, “you fools don’t know hoop, just a bunch of clowns in your mom’s basement. I play pick up every week and played in high school, I know hoops!!”
Sit the fuck down, player.
A lot of players do it
Cause it’s not the end of the world. Cameras should not be catching and replaying this sht
Yeah, lets not hold Lamelo responsible or anything. Let’s blame the camera guy instead
Not even blaming the camera guy, but the choice to replay it in slow-mo?
You literally said the cameras shouldn’t be catching it. Really sounds like you’re blaming the camera guy to me
Why shouldn’t they? Forget the ick factor and the disrespect it shows if it goes unnoticed it’s actually dangerous to other players.
Players getting injured while slipping on his spit is a very real possibility.
Maybe not the end of the world, but if I dribble the ball into a puddle of spit and get someone’s nasty spit juice all over my hand I’d be pissed af. It’s disgusting, undignified, narcissistic behavior to spit on indoor basketball court.
Not saying I wouldn’t be upset but these guys are covered in each other sweat all game. They probably wouldn’t even notice the ball went into a puddle of spit and got someone’s nasty spit juice all over their hand.
Yes they would, do you think the ball is wet and covered in sweat all game? Have you yourself ever played basketball?
This is who he’s always been going back to high school with his brothers. He’s was brought up as the golden child, the brother that was the best of both his older brothers. A lot of ego was poured into him by his dad.
Absolutely disgusting
Disgusting act
Genuinely the player I would expect to have the worst spit.
You mean in taste, viscosity, concentration of bacteria, color, thickness, yellowness, meloness, or all of the above?
Yes
HOW CAN HE SPIT!?!
At that price, he CANNNN spit
His hair would slick back real nice
Oh, he can spit
Is this a “how can she slap?” Reference
No it’s a Melo ball spitting on the court reference
Duh
I was just asking
Well you see, humans produce a liquid called saliva which helps digest food.
Back. And to the left.
That is one magic loogy
Lamelo ball is a piece of shit. Has been and always will be.
I know dudes who do this at pick up runs because they are playing while doing zynn. Shit is so disgusting
God bro that’s so gross damn
This is so disgusting what in the world
Never had someone spit on the court during pickup . Anyone would tell that person wtf.
It’s a country thing, guys who used to chew and now feel like they don’t need the bottle
Straight addict behavior
His dad is garbage. So doesn’t surprise me the son is also
I’m glad people don’t try to defend this clown either. Yeah, good player. But Lamelo literally puts people’s lives in danger the way he drives. And then this other shit is just frosting on top. He deserves no respect
Lonzo seems like a good egg tho
Lonzo does I must say, big fan of Lonzo
Lonzo deserved the healthy body, LaMelo should be the free agent…
Yeah Lonzo is so different from the rest of them lol
He got a chauffeur now since havin a kid
Nerd
How is his dad garbage?
It’s all well documented
A dad that was present in his kids lives, who pushed them to their potential so they reached the nba, and cared for his wife through a life changing stroke? Yeah horrible pos
Yeah, everybody knows all parents who push their kids to be pro athletes and/or are present are great people.
Just more white dregs looking to put down a successful black father. Nothing to see here
His dad is amputee get it right
Pickles doesnt fall far from the sea or something
Careful all of his 11 year old fans will come after you for this
For spitting on the court?!?
Relax bro
That’s piece of shit territory
Lol
You act like this is the only shitty thing he’s done. Do you live under a fucking rock?
Please tell us the other things he’s done
Nope
I swear to god his fucking PR firm is working overtime holiday hours this shit is wild
It’s weird, I think he’s one of the first para social “super” stars. His following is disproportionately large, probably because he was essentially raised in the public eye. I found it fucking odd how so many comments were calling him a good and humble dude when he always seemed like a spoiled asshole.
And consistently being a danger to anyone on the road
I mean, I’ll entertain this. You don’t think spitting on a floor that guys are bouncing a ball on and touching is not vile? You don’t think it’s pretty disrespectful that the people in that building have to come clean that up because he knows he doesn’t have to? You don’t know anything else about lamelo ball and is this your first time learning anything about him? Because as a whole he’s a pretty trash person. Everything’s a snowball effect my friend
So I hope I was able to educate you a little bit
Saying something is bad and commenting on the character of someone you don’t know (very strongly) are different things. We’re blessed as fans that we don’t have a microscope on our lives, people do all sorts of bad things all the time, chill out and give people a little grace
lol it’s nasty
but piece of shit? Go touch grass
Ouchhhhh
Idk man when I played football there guys were spitting, vomiting and bleeding all over the place.
I vividly remember a center puking on the ball before he snapped it. It’s gross but in a true athletic even i don’t give a shit about spit.
Okay bro I totally understand the environment but to willingly stand there on a basketball court and spit is just gross. It tracks for lamelo though.
One time my friend threw up out my car window and it splattered back onto the outside of the car. I was upset but hey, shit happens I didn’t think he was a piece of shit for getting sick. I would, however, think anyone was a piece of shit if they walked up and intentionally threw up on my car. Especially if they purposefully made themselves vomit.
Anyway, Ball spitting on a court is not just gross and disrespectful, it’s literally a safety hazard. Football is fundamentally different, even if you don’t care how nasty it is to do this on purpose.
No I don’t think it’s vile, and I don’t think he does it with malicious intent either. I also don’t think being a bad driver means you’re a bad person 😂. And I don’t think not doing you’re babies diapers means you’re a bad dad either
Is this the same guy? Geez bro
fr man, internet is so crazy to cast these judgements like this at someone.
Not saying it was ok but “piece of $hit, has been and always will be??”, come on man.
It was nasty though.
It’s nasty and maybe I’m just so far removed but I feel like I’ve seen dudes spit on the court and smudge it out or whatever with their shoes for traction forever ago. The clip cuts here so we don’t know but also that wasn’t a little spit… that shit had some mass to it
“Really? All he does is drive recklessly, endangering people for lolz”
Nothing I said was wrong. Go educate yourself on lamelo ball. He’s trash and has shown no signs of ever changing that
Dude I can point like to 10 different things right now. Ask me I’m ready
No no no. He’s just fun, carefree, and silly. Duh, it makes everything ok.
Oh now that’s trashy
This is gross.
Biohazard
that should be a fucking tech
Someone can slip and get injured.
He just comes off as a bum to me bring the downvotes I said it
Ultra unlikable and wildly overrated but has this absurdly disproportionate number of nuthuggers. Strangest thing.
Not that strange. Trash loves trash
Never seen him as a serious player. Talented as shit, but just not serious. Nothing’s changed that opinion.
His problem is not just that he isn’t serious. It’s mainly that he’s just a fucking moron.
This trashy fucking kid has defenders and that’s what disappoints me more.
ADULTS that defend his shitbaggery
Like wembys some kind of angel
Lamelo could be fucking highlighter green and he’d still be just as much of a trashy idiot.
Are you alright?
You probably have a broccoli haircut and yell six seven at strangers all day
you fell for it like a ton of bricks
Stfu tellin people to go hoop while ur sitting on reddit ur damn self foh 🤡
Saying this while defending a lightskin dude is hilarious
I mean is anyone actually surprised by this behavior? It’s Halloween and he’s LaMelo f-ing Ball.
He 100% was up late last night eating Halloween candy and now his tummy hurts. I’d be willing to bet he also went trick or treating before the game.
He seems like the type to take the entire bowl of candy from the houses that leave them out unattended
T this guy up.
He is so stupid. The definition of low iq
Lamelo Ball is increasingly a piece of shit
After seeing that video yesterday of him getting scared of the clown, my estimation of LaMelo Ball as a man just fucking plummeted
He never had the makings of a varsity athlete
Why was it high enough to plummet in the first place? He’s corny, childish, pretentious, doesn’t take accountability, can’t drive AND drives dangerously, his house looks like a 4 year old designed it in class, the dry humping of wemby and now we see this mf spit on an indoor court like a cherry on top. Dude has the IQ of a banana.
A spoiled, childish millionaire whose just like his bum ass father.
It’s a sopranos reference.
You can hate on the Ball family all you want, they’re a ridiculous group. But as stupid sounding as Lavar is, you can’t argue with his results. Chubby ass bro got two sons into the nba and they both made generational wealth.
His “bum ass father” is a millionaire who, regardless of how you feel about his methods, was a very present dad.
My estimation of him went to zero last season when he tried to dump a dirty bucket of mop water on Kon Knueppel as a locker room celebration. Now I am just like…of course.
Fine him. Downvote me if you want, but thats disrespectful idc.
Downvoted just cause you told me to
Simple suggestion, if you felt compelled :)
Who cares if it’s disrespectful. It’s dangerous.
It’s also a hazard
believe it or not straight to jail
I mean yeah fair. I don’t think people are gonna disagree.
I think a fine seems fair as a punishment. Some people are acting like he killed someone lol but this and a tech would be reasonable
This comment section is the most reddit shit I’ve ever seen lmao
To those of you who don’t hoop, in fairness here to lamelo, it’s not uncommon to see guys spit on the courts and use their shoes to wipe it to improve their shoe grip. Just a heads up because I know it’s insane without context
-someone who doesn’t hoop
I did that all the time but out of bounds. People spit or their hands too and rub their shoe that seems grosser
That’s what I thought he was doing but it just looks like he spit onto the court and walked away.
if someone spit one the floor i dribble he get a slap, only bums do this
NEVER in my life have I seen someone do this bro, and if they do it’s disgusting as hell. Y’all just making shit up at this point
Must’ve not balled
My brother in christ, look at the sheer size of that spit. That is more than a spit for gripping up the shoes.
Maybe it’s because I’m not American, but I’ve never seen anyone spit on the court for their shoes. Usually I’d clean my soles using my palms
Never heard a coach or teammate say a bad thing about this guy but all the geniuses in here know for a fact that he’s a “total piece of shit”
Mate, pro athletes and these organizations have no problem overlooking and even hiding players with character issues. Them not saying a bad thing about him doesn’t mean shit. Just look at how Steve Kerr reacted to the footage of Draymond punching out Jordan Poole getting out and that should give you a idea and there are worse cases than even that…
Yeah this whole “his teammates don’t publicly criticize him” thing has always been such a stupid defense. Even guys like Deshaun Watson get very little pushback from active players and especially teammates
Yeah, Watson has become a poster child for it.
Well, he drives recklessly all the time, has pretty much bragged about not changing a single diaper, named his son LaOne, and spits heavy onto an indoor basketball court. And thats just the shit we know about. So yea, i think its safe to say hes a piece of shit
Named his son LaOne Ball
important added context
Feel like you just named some…pretty tame things?
Naming your son “LaOne” is a fucking war crime
Reckless driving is pretty tame? I hope you’re 12 cause that’d be the only excuse for being this dumb
Driving while being intoxicated doesnt equate to being a “total piece of shit” in your dictionary?
If he indeed got a driver like he said he would, I would consider that to be learning from his mistakes which is typically seen as a good thing
Anyone who has ever driven drunk should never EVER be forgiven
I mean listen the ppl who say he’s a bad teammate are dumb, but like a lot of pro athletes, Lamelo isn’t the greatest person. His driving alone was very bad, and in pretty sure he has a daughter whose life he isn’t apart of by choice.
Yep I don’t even like Lamelo these people are casuals or crazy
None of these guys play sports and it shows
“None of these guys plays sports and it shows” and we’re talking about a guy SPITTING on an indoor basketball court
i’ve never seen someone deliberately spray a stream of spit onto the court in all my years of playing basketball
the average person wouldn’t even do this shit during pick up, which is why someone doing it during a televised NBA game is crazy
Youve never seen anyone rub their shoes on it for grip? Maybe it’s a generational thing and now that shoe grip is better guys don’t do it. But it was all the time when I played.
you don’t need to spit on the floor to achieve that
also if you need grippier shoes to the point of spitting saliva, might be time for a new pair
If you clutched your pearls any harder, you’d pass out
nah you’re just fucking gross dude
keep spitting bro!
This is the same sub which was crying cos lamelo doesn’t change diapers. Insufferable
If you gonna have a kid then change diapers. Grow the hell up.
Shiiiit if he gave me millions I’ll change all the diapers too
Bruh they have a family system, people have been doing that since forever. Sometimes couples divide responsibilities and sometimes they share them.
Either is fine, you don’t know them and there isn’t anything inherently wrong with it.
No, whats insufferable is being a “dad” who refuses to touch your own son’s poopie diapers
So much pearl clutching lol
Zapruder film analysis
Certified spoiled brat
My guy is lucky to be a great basketball player because goddamn this guy has to be one of the dumbest mf around. They should have someone go with this guy especially when driving because he’s gonna kill someone
I mean he was literally raised to play basketball the day he was born. There’s nothing up there except ball
He already has a personal driver.
That’s great especially for Minny, I assume he lives there now
