The Charlotte Hornets have had a disappointing start to the 2024-25 NBA season. They currently sit in the 13th spot in the Eastern Conference standings with seven wins and 23 losses. After a recent close loss of 113-110 against the Washington Wizards, they are now on a six-game losing streak. Despite the team’s struggles, their star player, LaMelo Ball, continues to deliver impressive performances.
During the recent game against the Wizards, Ball showcased impressive court skills. In the last three minutes of the first quarter, he executed a remarkable move that left the Wizards’ defense bewildered. The Hornets star dribbled around a Wizards player in a circular motion and executed a layup, demonstrating his ability to outsmart his opponents.
Haters Report on X recently uploaded the video of Ball’s impressive dribbling move. In the caption, they added, “The Wizards so bad Lamelo Ball dribbled in a circle around the whole team like he on the Harlem Globetrotters.”
"When he got his growth spurt, man that really took him off the map. But as far as his personality and character, he's been a spaz his whole life."

Despite the challenges the team is facing, LaMelo Ball continues to shine as a formidable player on the court. Throughout the 2024-25 NBA season, he has been delivering remarkably impressive performances. Notably, on November 23, he achieved a personal milestone by scoring a remarkable 50 points, along with five rebounds and ten assists, even though the team fell to the Milwaukee Bucks with a score of 125–119.

“I think when he’s healthy and he’s locked in… When I can see that he’s really tuned into the game, he’s a top-five player in the NBA right now,” Lonzo Ball said.
Although Ball displays impressive skill on the court, his media interactions fall short. Throughout the new season, he has struggled in interviews with reporters, prompting fans to discuss his communication abilities.
