Rookie of the Year. All-Star. Franchise triple-double king. The LaMelo Ball era in Charlotte comes to an end, but his mark on the franchise is undeniable.
🟣 1st — Triple-doubles (11)
🟣 2nd — 3PT FG made (977)
🟣 3rd — Points per game (20.8)
🟣 3rd — Assists per game (7.3)
I fought for fucking years with people because nobody understood his impact. He finally has a year where he proves everybody wrong and my reward is Nazi reid and picks.
The trade of LaMelo is sad, incredibly sad. Despite this, I can’t help but feel just a tad bit of relief.
In many ways, trading LaMelo was like putting down an old dog. He had a history of injury and questionable basketball decisions and that’s something we’re now free of.
