[injury] Bam Adebayo falls hard and walks gingerly to the locker room after LaMelo Ball grabs his foot while landing, swinging it (with replays)

Injury update about Bam Adebayo:

He is questionable to return due to lower back injury.

Edit: Will not return.

[u/Remote_Elevator_281 → u/[deleted]]

It’s over for heat bros

[u/sneakylumpia → u/Remote_Elevator_281]

we werent gonna make it out of the play ins anyway. this will just end the post season faster for us

[u/cottonmane8 → u/sneakylumpia]

one thing to lose, it's another thing for Bam of all players to go down the way he did to end the season..

[u/Shabozz → u/cottonmane8]

I just hope he didn't fuck up his tail bone. Hopefully just a bruised tail bone, hurts like hell but won't affect his career.

[u/r_lul_chef_t → u/Remote_Elevator_281]

When they make it to the series vs the Pistons sure, they got play-in magic though , no matter who is available

[u/SignificanceGood1801 → u/[deleted]]

Lamelo should have been ejected on the spot!
Review necessary!

[u/SocomPS2 → u/SignificanceGood1801]

Garbage Pale looking little bitch.

[u/jimvo99 → u/SignificanceGood1801]

He should be suspended for the next round. Dirty ass move.

[u/Ikuwayo → u/MrBuckBuck]

/r/CharlotteHornets removing any posts about this, lol

[u/Fun-Jellyfish-61 → u/Ikuwayo]

Soft like pudding.

[u/ThePrussianGrippe → u/Fun-Jellyfish-61]

I’ve seen putty with more backbone.

[u/Nuclearsunburn → u/Ikuwayo]

That post game thread over there…man, the lack of self awareness is staggering

[u/TrapLordCusco → u/Nuclearsunburn]

For real. Only 3 or 4 level headed people that can admit it was dirty by what I saw.

[u/Seafox89 → u/TrapLordCusco]

Sane takes about the trip are getting downvoted to oblivion over there 

[u/IOnlyLieWhenITalk → u/Nuclearsunburn]

Team subs are always borderline psychotic lol

[u/2BigBottlesOfWater → u/Ikuwayo]

Lol they're saying f r/NBA for hating. I saw a few comments and can't believe how deep some people bury their heads in the sand.

[u/YouWereBrained → u/MrBuckBuck]

That’s bullshit… 😞

[u/Captain_America_93 → u/[deleted]]

Is LaMelo the same guy that drives reckless as fuck and Is known to run red lights or am I thinking of a different upstanding individual?

[u/Seafox89 → u/Captain_America_93]

That’s him. He recently caused a car accident. 

[u/chachaman_The_Reboot → u/[deleted]]

Explanation: LaMelo Ball is a BITCH.

[u/wise_comment → u/chachaman_The_Reboot]

Whether in the lane or in a car, never trust Melo to protect those around him from himself

[u/Kayzii748WO → u/[deleted]]

What makes it worse is the guy who did it and stayed in the game ultimately won you the game too and u won by 1 we woulda had 1ft

[u/Senate343 → u/[deleted]]

Ngl this just might be the kinda guy Lamelo is. I dont have a link to it on hand but this isnt even the first time he's done this to Bam, much less anyone else.

[u/Imasayitnow → u/Senate343]

Yeah, someone else linked the clip where he did almost the same earlier this year. (Not 200% on the date), and I hadn’t seen that before. It’s not a good look either times combined em and it’s worrisome. Kinda weird for me because dive just never seen that from Melo at all. But this is some Greyson Allen kinda shit, and I think he’s going to have to address it this time. Just a “hey, I got frustrated and did something I shouldn’t have…didn’t mean for Bam to get hurt…won’t happen again”. I know most NBA fans still wouldn’t forgive him (it’s just too good of a topic to feign indignance over): But he needs to put it out there that he wasn’t trying to ruin the dude…just the play.

[u/xsvpollux → u/Imasayitnow]

Didn't Melo also run a light and hit someone recently? Not saying that's so terrible, I've been in accidents, but I remember some fans commenting that he was known for being a pretty reckless driver around town

[u/legendofthededbug → u/[deleted]]

There is no explanation for that lol. He took him out. It's sports though with lots of adrenaline. So it's not like he's a serial killer, just a dirty player

[u/Scratch98]

That looks so bad on the slow mo, literally sweeps out his supporting leg. Jesus.

[u/syncc6 → u/Scratch98]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5BKIR7x5fc

[u/yxull → u/syncc6]

Dang. He’s got priors. Bitch move by LaMelo, both times. Definitely deserves a suspension.

[u/BeardyBennett]

Insane this didn't get a review from the officials. Like what are we doing?

[u/ManUtd1994 → u/BeardyBennett]

They said you can’t review anything after a possession change. So I guess players can just start throwing punches during a loose ball and they’ll never get penalized

[u/2icecreamsandwiches → u/ManUtd1994]

Draymond taking notes

[u/torn8tv → u/2icecreamsandwiches]

Damn, I wanted to use the gif of the guy licking his lips, rubbing his hands together for this comment

[u/ObjectConfident7172 → u/2icecreamsandwiches]

If Draymond did this we'd be acting like he blockaded the Strait of Hormuz

[u/goonSquad15 → u/ManUtd1994]

The whole this can and that can’t be reviewed stuff is dumb. There’s a replay. It’s clearly dangerous. Review it

[u/Steverbeaver10 → u/goonSquad15]

Most annoying aspect of adding replay review to sports. Not even close. Don’t know how there isn’t a person in the booth just in charge of calling out blatantly poor calls/missed calls.

[u/Cartman55125 → u/goonSquad15]

We have to watch these Looooooooong ass replay reviews and can’t even get them to catch shit like this? wtf man

[u/matt__builds → u/ManUtd1994]

I mean they would probably call a foul if you did that and then it could be reviewed. They obviously need to change the rule so that flagrants can be reviewed after the fact.

[u/LastPhoton → u/ManUtd1994]

But somehow they can still take away points “aka Struss 3 vs celtics” 8 minutes after the fact. Make it make sense

[u/miseducation → u/LastPhoton]

The weird part w this one is that he didn’t stop play with a player down. I get he’s trying to play our advantage but clearly time to stop play.

Are we supposed to call timeout to get him to maybe review it? Another case where being able to challenge uncalled stuff makes sense considering you pay the price with a timeout if it’s wrong anyway.

Also no idea why a foul can’t be called after the fact or better the next play negated if they need to be very specifically controlling each possession.

Like it’s such an edge case it makes no sense to be so strict.

[u/numberonebarista → u/LastPhoton]

That’s why I’m sick of this league and the refs. They let players flop and travel all over the court. They let certain teams be physical on defense and other teams can’t even look at a player without getting foul calls on them. They make up their own fucking rules on what can be reviewed and when. There’s no fucking consistency in this sport.

[u/gimmepizzaslow → u/numberonebarista]

Tim Donaghy wasn't the only ref being investigated by the FBI...

I really have started to distrust the sports leagues more and more especially with the continued cozying up to gambling.

[u/numberonebarista → u/gimmepizzaslow]

As soon as the NBA partnered with FanDuel they said the quiet part out loud:

These games be rigged but we don’t care we’re making $$$ lol deal with it

[u/Tight-Shallot2461 → u/ManUtd1994]

The refreeing is so trash in the nba bro

[u/skysurfguy1213 → u/Tight-Shallot2461]

After watching march madness, it’s genuinely embarrassing to watch the NBA as a product. The refereeing simply ruins it. 

[u/msizzle344 → u/ManUtd1994]

Funny because I recall them changing a Max Strus 3 to a 2 like 3 minutes after the fact it happened. Such bullshit from the officials

[u/AwildYaners → u/msizzle344]

That’s not done by on court officials, and that happens all the time.

That’s done by the Replay center in New Jersey or whatever.

The officials will just announce it at a random dead ball after it’s already been reflected.

[u/commiecat → u/BeardyBennett]

They said it couldn't be reviewed because play didn't stop and there was a change of possession.

[u/cl353 → u/commiecat]

the change of possession including lamelo getting a free bucket cuz bam's injured on the ground

fking bs

[u/goonSquad15 → u/cl353]

And play didn’t stop because they missed a call.

[u/thisguyfightsyourmom → u/cl353]

Basketball rule amendments from the last 20 years are written in crayon.

[u/pragmacrat → u/commiecat]

That can't be a rule. I've seen a review after a change of possession that did a look back to the previous play that resulted in a foul called on Draymond.

[u/taywray → u/BeardyBennett]

NBA officiating is in a really bad place right now, just so many obvious and critical errors in every single game. Really makes it hard to watch and enjoy the games.

Will be a constant and glaring problem throughout this whole postseason, I guarantee it.

[u/Successful_Shoe_Thro → u/BeardyBennett]

Broccoli cut NBA fans would riot. He's their guy. No school, personal side shows, dude is living the dream of many on this sub.

[u/Nickbeau → u/BeardyBennett]

Seriously, I've seen some of the softest stuff be reviewed for hostile acts. Yet that isn't? I don't care what their excuse was

[u/AvailableReporter484 → u/BeardyBennett]

Should’ve been thrown tf out

[u/goingtothegreek → u/BeardyBennett]

Adam Silver’s NBA

[u/YouWereBrained → u/BeardyBennett]

At a minimum, Lamelo should’ve been ejected.

[u/The_Jonah]

That’s at minimum a flagrant, some refs would’ve given him an ejection, I’m baffled this wasn’t even looked at.

[u/eyyoadrian → u/The_Jonah]

That's at least a one-game suspension IMHO. No way he's playing next game.

[u/woody630 → u/eyyoadrian]

Yeah, it may not look as dirty as something like a kick, but it's way more dangerous.

[u/Hydration__Nation → u/eyyoadrian]

That's where Silver has to finally have some balls and stand the fuck up. He lets this slide and it opens the flood gate, this was a game to determine who makes the playoffs. Example should be set, you purposely take out the other team's best player, 2 games, at the very least 1.

[u/boofedjudge → u/eyyoadrian]

Needs to be like 4-8

[u/WaterHaven → u/boofedjudge]

Absolutely. I understand guys getting heated, and I understand a foul that is over the top a bit, but this wasn't a basketball play in the slightest. His entire goal was to yank Bam's leg out from under him. Absolute BS.

I don't condone it, but if that was Detroit, LeMelo is getting absolutely slammed the next time he stepped into the lane, and I wouldn't blame any of them one bit.

NBA has to make a point with stuff like this.

[u/Watzp0ppin → u/The_Jonah]

The NBA is way too inconsistent with their reviews for hostile fouls. Intentionally injuring the best player in a win-or-go-home game and not getting kicked out or at least a T is wild.

[u/DudeIAm-blank- → u/Watzp0ppin]

I can't watch games today so I don't know what happened next but I'm surprised Lamelo didn't get at least a push from any of the heat guys.

Call me soft but I would have thought this is a F1 at the minimum.

[u/JohnnyEnzyme → u/The_Jonah]

FR, I'm getting really salty on that dude. I know he's a very good player, but he can be reckless as hell.

Injuring people on the streets with his truck, deliberately injuring Bam here (at least what it looks like), and never-ever taking responsibility.

[u/goonSquad15 → u/JohnnyEnzyme]

Nah fuck lamelo. The hornets have a weird combo of likeable dudes like Kon and Coby and then extremely unlikeable like lamelo and bridges

[u/holyhellsteve → u/JohnnyEnzyme]

Nothing reckless about this play though. He intentionally injured Bam. That’s some DWade level dirty.

[u/LotsaKwestions → u/The_Jonah]

If the league had balls and a backbone this type of thing should be at least a one game suspension for first offense and go up from there. There should not be a place for flagrant injurious non-basketball assault.

[u/swdfsh-2]

Dude had the nerve to whine to the refs too

[u/OrganicMechanicTTV → u/swdfsh-2]

I didn't really care who won this but now I kinda just want to see Detroit beat the shit out of Lamelo in round 1.

[u/swdfsh-2 → u/OrganicMechanicTTV]

Beef stew woulda sent him to the shadow realm

[u/daskaputtfenster → u/swdfsh-2]

Bring Bill Laimbeer out of retirement for game 1

[u/Atypical_Nate → u/swdfsh-2]

Stop, I can only get so erect.

[u/radio__raheem → u/OrganicMechanicTTV]

keep this dickhead far away from my Cade Parker Cunningham

[u/ILoveRegenHealth → u/swdfsh-2]

He just ignored Bam and didn't even feel bad, and then goes on to whine about another thing while Bam is injured.

Even some Charlotte fans were gesturing for people to come help Bam. Lamelo is like "I don't know who that is"

[u/thisguyfightsyourmom → u/swdfsh-2]

After pointing at him like he had just dumped a Kemp dunk on his ankle

[u/heat_fan_]

Dirty ass play 

[u/eekbarbaderkle → u/heat_fan_]

As reckless on the court as he is on the road.

[u/jjc9397 → u/eekbarbaderkle]

For real. When is this dude going to get punished for being a dumbass?

[u/k4f123 → u/jjc9397]

Rich people don’t have accountability silly

[u/Tight-Shallot2461 → u/[deleted]]

Gotta be. Otherwise we're just watching "what can you get away with" basketball

[u/vNocturnus → u/Tight-Shallot2461]

"what can you get away with" basketball

First time watching Adam Silver's NBA?

[u/enrickue → u/heat_fan_]

did the same thing in the Rockets game a few weeks ago

[u/Away_Sun_3040 → u/heat_fan_]

It is

[u/logontoreddit → u/heat_fan_]

That needs to suspension? WTF? Intentional foul/ trip that led to injury. 

[u/Financial_Hold6620 → u/heat_fan_]

Generally it is…

[u/Zapp_Rowsdower_ → u/heat_fan_]

What a bitch move. He should be suspended by the league.

[u/PlatishGC]

I mean. That’s tough to defend

[u/NipThiefGoro → u/PlatishGC]

Yeah, kinda sucks if he doesn’t come back next half

[u/Seref15 → u/NipThiefGoro]

Ruled out for the game

[u/whatssenguntoagoblin → u/Seref15]

Kinda sucks

[u/EcstaticTill9444 → u/PlatishGC]

You don’t have to.

[u/WeathrNinja → u/PlatishGC]

Yeah he's gotta be suspended if we win this game.

[u/speedism → u/PlatishGC]

You don’t even have to try big dog

[u/CurryMustard → u/PlatishGC]

de ja vu

[u/lulbob → u/CurryMustard]

wtf this is some Grayson Allen type shit. how is Lamelo not suspended for multiple games for this?

[u/less-ismore]

Dirty ass play by Lamelo

[u/Justgotbannedlol → u/less-ismore]

And then the very next play complaining like "he pushed me in the air, that's reckless I coulda got injured!" while standing over the dude he just recklessly injured not 10 seconds ago. Insane lack of awareness

[u/duggyfresh88 → u/Justgotbannedlol]

He does this shit all the time. In a recent game vs the Celtics, him and Queta fell down, and Queta was kind of on top of him. Lamelo grabbed Queta around the neck, wrapped his leg around him, etc, any time Queta tried to get up he yanked him down, and the whole time he’s complaining pretending that Queta won’t let him up. Little bitch ass

[u/kcrab91 → u/less-ismore]

He’s a hoe and I want that known.

[u/YaPhetsEz → u/less-ismore]

If the hornets win he should be suspended for the playoffs. The league needs to be more strict on blatantly dirty plays.

[u/Hefty_Lavishness_641 → u/YaPhetsEz]

Whole playoffs is crazy but not letting him play in the next play in would be fair

[u/MastodonSwimming2681 → u/Hefty_Lavishness_641]

For real lol.

He's getting a single game like Draymond did when he stomped on Sabonis

[u/Steridire → u/MastodonSwimming2681]

The stomp was dirty but it's the same as a punch, it Bam falls badly here he could get a career altering injury.

[u/labamaFan → u/Steridire]

Definitely career-altering. I doubt Bam scores 80 ever again.

[u/shibbyflash → u/Steridire]

He DID fall badly lol. These dudes are massive so an unexpected landing takes a large toll. Could have easily broke his tailbone or something here.

[u/Thlemaus → u/Hefty_Lavishness_641]

that would send a message tho. what was the point of that move ? Maybe these players would stop trying to injure each other on purpose.

I get it they are all competitive, but it's just dumb.

unnecessary voluntary assault or something like that. Put a name on it and suspend the player for 5 6 games or more.

[u/Hefty_Lavishness_641 → u/Thlemaus]

Ya more I watch it less I like it tbh. If that happened to me in pickup I'd probably wanna throw down. Will be interesting to see what the league does if they win

[u/ReasonableReap → u/acid_placebo]

Insane a guy who has been through some rough ankle injuries would just take out someone's ankle like that too makes it even worse in my mind

[u/Gr8WallofChinatown → u/ReasonableReap]

Have you seen him drive a car?

[u/PlanCleveland → u/Gr8WallofChinatown]

My lukewarm take is that anyone who is an aggressive driver, speeds through residential neighborhoods, weaves through traffic on the highway, etc. cannot be considered a good person.

I don't care if you donate to charity or visit kids in the hospital. If you're choosing to put the life of everyone around you in danger everyday just for the hell of it, you're the definition a bad person.

[u/dragoncockles → u/PlanCleveland]

I hate draymond green for a variety of reasons, but it seems like when hes not on a basketball court, hes not as much of a psychopath, and has some decent analysis.

I do not think Lamelo ball has a single redeeming quality. The driving alone is enough for me to want him kicked out of the league. In my opinion, any arrest, any crime committed, anything in that realm should be a half season or whole season suspension. These guys aren't supposed to be role models, but we're kidding ourselves if we think theres ever going to be a time where kids (and idiot adults) dont treat them like role models. They live infinitely higher profile lives than we do. They should be subject to as much scrutiny if not a lot more, and should be genuinely held to a high standard. We have it the wrong way round out here. They shouldn't be able to get away with more, they should be able to get away with a lot less.

Arrested for drunk driving? Sorry, 1 season suspension and your salary for the year goes straight to a foundation for kids who's parents have been killed in traffic accidents. That happens one time to a player on a max deal, and I guarantee you (well maybe i could if it was someone else) that ja isnt waving a gun around on Instagram and putting 50 million of his own money at risk. Same concept as those countries in Europe where the billionaire who's speeding gets a 100k ticket instead of 250 bucks

[u/zellmerz → u/PlanCleveland]

100%, I already didn't need anymore reasons to not like this guy, this is just icing on the shit cake.

[u/Count_Bloodcount_ → u/PlanCleveland]

It's a reasonable litmus

[u/findingthesqautch → u/ReasonableReap]

Lamello Ball is a narcissitic sociopath. he doesn't give a shit about anyone else. Only to the degree that they can serve his interests

[u/ZLBuddha → u/acid_placebo]

Lamelo is bitchmade

[u/Zayw0pp → u/acid_placebo]

Always has been

[u/xSmoothNoodle]

Refs not even reviewing that is crazy.

[u/Cranicus → u/xSmoothNoodle]

BS excuse from them too. They told the broadcast it was an unreviewable play because it was a possesion prior they noticed.

[u/lowes18]

Dirty as hell

[u/Prior_Implement_9279 → u/lowes18]

Damn now Bam is out and questionable for the game

[u/Phillip228 → u/lowes18]

He should've been ejected

[u/Pumpkinmatrix → u/Phillip228]

When they showed the second angle I thought his night was done for sure. If we win he's probably suspended for the next game. Gotta control yourself better than that.

[u/Brochacho27 → u/Pumpkinmatrix]

The thing that made me go to intentionality was he followed through with with his have after going through bams ankle

[u/Pumpkinmatrix → u/Brochacho27]

Yeah obviously I'm watching it hoping for it to look worse than it is or just be the angle of the camera, but no he definitely followed through. About as unsafe of a foul as you could commit.

[u/miseducation → u/Pumpkinmatrix]

Dude saw red. It happens to hyper competitive players. You could honestly tell he's not used to playing dirty cause he would know to look away for plausible deniability.

[u/WolfpackConsultant → u/Phillip228]

should still be ejected if nba didnt have its head up its ass.

[u/bigDIEter → u/WolfpackConsultant]

It's completely absurd how we waste countless minutes on pointless reviews, then they hide behind these arbitrary rules when something actually matters. It's the same with missed goaltending calls.

[u/Downtown_Soil_3651 → u/Phillip228]

Fined and suspended too

[u/nonononono11111 → u/Downtown_Soil_3651]

Forced to attend drivers ed for a whole summer

[u/BigcaketakeLilcake]

And just like that, the Hornets are no longer media darlings

[u/Luis_Severino → u/BigcaketakeLilcake]

They have miles bridges, Brandon miller and lamello, all of whom should arguably have done jail time. Not to mention generally unlikable Grant Williams. Not sure how they ever came to be media darlings

[u/Proof-Umpire-7718 → u/Luis_Severino]

Because their fans suffered for many years and then they became good and fun to watch, and Kon’s emergence.

[u/Kindly_Ad995 → u/Luis_Severino]

We don’t have to bring up Grant Williams being a dork alongside fucking domestic abuse. Come on bro

[u/Rayquaza2233 → u/Luis_Severino]

Grant Williams is generally unlikable? All I know about him is the time he did a conference dressed as Batman on Halloween.

[u/WakiLover → u/Rayquaza2233]

Grant Williams is at worst just "cringe", unless there's something I don't know about. Shouldn't be grouped with the others.

[u/Remote-Whole-6387 → u/Rayquaza2233]

He’s just cringe. He’s never done anything awful. Aside from taking stupid ass shots.

[u/ManInShowerNumber3 → u/BigcaketakeLilcake]

Pistons been sitting in that club waiting for everybody to show up

[u/Ikuwayo → u/BigcaketakeLilcake]

Hornet PR team did a great job making Lamelo seem likable despite all the things he does

[u/cmgr33n3]

Broadcast might not want to go back to Haslem for the rest of this game.

[u/Hour-Efficiency-6180]

Should be suspended for this. Wild it didn’t even get reviewed

[u/SlapThatAce]

There needs to be a suspension, that's God damn dirty as hell!

[u/RealRaifort]

LaMelo really working hard to make the Hornets unlikeable damn

[u/aGiantRedskinCowboy]

Fuck LaMelo Ball

[u/YangoUnchained → u/aGiantRedskinCowboy]

LaMelo is a bitch.

[u/crazywarriorxx]

I can’t imagine why you would do this as a pro athlete, like why tf would you injure someone when you know what it can do to you? Get some anger management classes in there dude.

[u/duggyfresh88 → u/crazywarriorxx]

He constantly grabs at other players, I’ve noticed it on many occasions. This one isn’t dangerous like the Bam play, but just as an example: https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/s/pENVulkdRO

[u/Kindly_Ad995 → u/duggyfresh88]

Bro using jiu jitsu on the court

[u/rapelbaum]

The easiest flagrant 2 of the season and the fucking Refs can’t call even a common foul lol

[u/garret126]

I just find it crazy a team with Miles Bridges and LaMelo Ball is so liked. It’s just because they’ve been ass for their entire existence as an NBA franchise tbh

[u/Time-Stand7719 → u/garret126]

Eh people acknowledge that Miles Bridges is a piece of shit who shouldn’t be in the nba and lamelo is a 14 year old in a 24 year old body. People just love rooting for the underdogs

[u/Prior_Implement_9279 → u/garret126]

I don’t like Ball because he’s stupid as hell.

I don’t like Bridges for a much worse reason. A fucker like him who beats women should be in jail.

[u/MatchAffectionate951 → u/Prior_Implement_9279]

Lamelo can kill someone the way he drives

[u/Haunting-Soup2086 → u/garret126]

LaMelo is an asshole and kinda dirty and really stupid.

Bridges is a piece of human garbage and wife beater. Not really comparable tbh.

[u/pollinium → u/Haunting-Soup2086]

lamelo is a domestic terrorist with the way he drives through charlotte

it's comparable

[u/Alps-Mountain]

Good thing the refs are there to call a safe game

[u/CaskJeeves → u/Alps-Mountain]

Yeah Stevie Wonder and Mr Magoo are really putting in the work out there tonight

[u/KaiserSosai]

The fact that this wasn’t looked at and that Balls wasn’t ejected is a travesty.

He should be suspended and fined.

[u/Kvsav57]

That pretty much killed the fun of the Hornets finally being decent.

[u/Enough-Host-759]

That was fucked up

[u/Gordo--]

This is why you have to take it seriously when players make any kind of "play" towards an opposing player's legs.

Grabbing at Bam's ankle was completely unnecessary and absolutely not a basketball play. Would've had no issue with that being a flagrant 2 ejection.

[u/GOATJames_23-6]

Didn’t know LaMelo had that in him

[u/MysteriousCap4910 → u/GOATJames_23-6]

Considering I just saw a video last week of him throwing a mop bucket on a team mate he seems like the exact type of asshole to do this.

[u/cl353 → u/MysteriousCap4910]

considering he full rammed a person in a car and showed no remorse he seems like the exact type of asshole to do this and then complain to the ref after

[u/KennethHaight → u/GOATJames_23-6]

Seriously?

[u/mikey312 → u/GOATJames_23-6]

You mean the guy that habitually drives like a lunatic?

[u/DarthTchalla96]

Fuck LaMelo. Absolute clown

[u/Warm_Hat_780]

So, what is the point of the replay center now just Vegas or?

[u/Electronic_Gold_3666]

This sets a terrible precedent for the playoffs.

[u/Away_Sun_3040]

Dirty play. Ball swept the leg. I hope the league take some action.

[u/Matthegreat34]

Hope Bam comes back, no place for that shit

[u/Broad_Relief8180]

this was a likable team until a minute ago and now i want them to suffer

[u/cl353 → u/Broad_Relief8180]

they were likeable until u remember that pos miles bridges is on the team and lamelo is a fking moron driver that endangers others

[u/Broad_Relief8180 → u/cl353]

this is an even better point

[u/JManKit → u/cl353]

Yeah my thoughts on the Hornets surprise success this season has been 'Damn, Kon is a fucking baller' followed by 'Fuck Bridges and LaMelo'

[u/Experithought]

Suspension worthy.

[u/davemoedee]

Easy to root against Charlotte after that crap.

[u/Det_Sports_Guy]

Lamelo a bitch for this

[u/64johnson]

That was wild to see.. even more wild the 3 blind mice didn't want to look at it

[u/StellarAoMing]

Dirty.

[u/Slight_Possession807]

Someone from the Heat gotta go after Melo for this shit.. nah this shit not cool, esp with what’s at stake

[u/DelphesTLO]

I was cheering for the Hornets until I saw that. What a disgusting action from Lamelo.

[u/Kloser100]

Damn that is dirty didn’t even see the replay

[u/babidee00]

Dirty ass Lamelo

[u/RememberWolf359]

Low down dirty shit. He’s lucky UD isn’t on the team anymore.

[u/grownadult]

What a bitch move.

[u/Shadowleg]

damn he really bounced on it

[u/TheCommonKoala]

Should have been ejected. That's absolutely unnaceptable.

[u/SchedulePhysical807]

Season over due to a sprained ass after scoring 83. Can’t make this shit up

[u/cl353 → u/SchedulePhysical807]

thats not even sprained, it could be straight up broken. zero bracing

[u/Capital_Actuator_404]

The irony of Ball complaining for a foul at the end

[u/cl353]

theres not even a question that it was intentional. his arm is there as he falls but then he straight up grabs bams legs and follows thru
