Breaking: NBA OUT! NBL IN!
The day that was supposed to be for the Totonto Raptors to celebrate their Larry OB trophy has been stolen by NBL. News broke that the youngest, and most lackadaisical Ball brother, Lamelo would be heading to Stralia. I was already sold on the NBL when RJ Hampton decided to sign with the New Zealand Breakers, but now I am full blown looking for employment in Australia. I need to be apart of the Ball experience down under.
I can only imagine the show Lamelo is going to put on. He is already balling out in the Drew League making grown men look like fools. Now this is just an amateur league, but they go pretty hard. I want to see Lamelo try his hardest on both sides of the ball. I want him locking up guards full court like Lonzo. He already has a better shot than him and is only a mere boy. At least he has grown out of that big blonde afro. It’s also going to be a show if he isn’t great and has to sit on the bench and pout every game.
Looking into the NBL made me realize they got some other quality players:
Melo Trimble: Melebourn United
Bryce Cotton: Perth Wildcats
Casper Ware: Sydney Kings
Jordair Jett: Nelson Jetts
I mean it’s not like they would touch the floor in the NBA, but I will still try to watch Lamelo and RJ go up against these men. I actually sent an email to operations manager of the Illwarra Hawks, where Lamelo is going so cross your fingers.
Here’s a video of Lamelo going DUMBY in Drew League just for reference:
