LaMelo Ball’s post-game interview could have put him in a difficult situation. Following the Charlotte Hornets’ 110-105 victory against the Houston Rockets, Ball was questioned about his friendship with Kemba Walker. Ball swore on live TV while talking about the former NBA All-Star.
After the surprise F-bomb, you can hear the interviewer fumble. The NBA has a stringent code of conduct that tells players not to use specific phrases while speaking in broadcast interviews. So, Ball might face fines for using offensive language on TV. Adam Silver, the commissioner of the NBA, may try to use LaMelo as an example in the future.
LaMelo Ball said, “That’s my brother right there, that’s my dog. Like I said, he’s gang, I’m gang. We’re chilling all the time, I f**k with his family.”
Given how nasty the former Rookie of the Year’s appearance was, LaMelo’s use of swearing does suggest that he may need some media training. To ensure this doesn’t happen again, the Hornets may engage a public relations staff to assist him, or the league may require him to complete media sensitivity training.
Ball’s post-game interview has garnered some media attention, which is frustrating since it detracts from his outstanding performance against the Rockets.
