Charlotte Hornets star point guard LaMelo Ball better be a lot more careful on the road going forward.
There’s a video going viral around the internet that shows Ball running red lights on multiple situations after Charlotte Hornets’ games. TikTok user @hopemarie123 shared a compilation of the video, noting that Ball is driving as if he’s playing the popular Grand Theft Auto (GTA) video game series:
The 21-year-old Ball should definitely keep an eye on his speed. Even some of the best defensive drivers might not be able to react in time to any of his potentially dangerous maneuvers…
The 6-foot-7 guard is in his third NBA season. Ball is having a career year for the struggling Hornets, averaging 23.3 points, 6.3 rebounds and and 8.4 assists per game through 33 contests. The Hornets will return to the court tomorrow when they take on the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Charlotte holds the second-worst record in the Eastern Conference, ahead of only the Detroit Pistons (15-44). The Hornets were expected to be competitive after going 43-39 last season, in which they qualified for the play-in tournament.
But Charlotte lost soundly to Trae Young and the Atlanta Hawks, who went on to defeat the Cleveland Cavaliers in the second play-in game. The Hornets last qualified for the postseason back in 2016.
