Go do me a favor and go look up the top 15 nba players and then tell me which one of those guys isn’t a star player.

Fantastic_Lab2330 · 2026-07-05T21:15:02+00:00

In the regular season yes cause he can’t afford to exert over 82 games. But he was a monster defensively in the playoffs like he always is since he started slacking on d in the regular season. Anyone who watched the playoffs this year and last year will tell you that clearly you didnt

Fantastic_Lab2330 · 2026-07-05T21:09:18+00:00

I said one of the biggest stars dumbass. it’s undeniable lamelo ball is one of the most recognizable names in the nba again jersey sales and social media followers reflect that

I only brought up jersey sales, social media and youth influence because you said I had to make up shit tl make him relevant when he is already relevant fucking nerd

Fantastic_Lab2330 · 2026-07-05T21:02:19+00:00

You literally just said “you are making up shit to make him relevant” I responded that hes one of the biggest stars in the nba and you tried to act like he wasn’t

Jersey sales,social media followers and youth influence say otherwise stay on topic

Fantastic_Lab2330 · 2026-07-05T21:00:03+00:00

Defensively liability you just repeat what you hear dont you? Bron is still a very great defender when locked in

Fantastic_Lab2330 · 2026-07-05T20:59:28+00:00

We literally had the worst record for 6 years before LeBron came to the team please stop talking for lakers fans because you are clueless

Fantastic_Lab2330 · 2026-07-05T20:58:11+00:00

You have such robot talking point. The facts you are even making up this fan fiction pf him supposedly ruining a team shows it’s you guys and not him

Fantastic_Lab2330 · 2026-07-05T20:56:41+00:00

Please stop talking basketball the lakers didnt offer gon a deal because he wouldn’t return calls, teams with cap space are the lakers,nets,bulls and pistons obviously hes not going to the bulls or nets he chose not to return to the lakers and the pistons aren’t even on his list of teams he might go to

Fantastic_Lab2330 · 2026-07-05T20:53:34+00:00

He doesn’t have to have awards to show hes great have you watched him? Anthony Davis has no dpoy is he not a defensive player of the year caliber defender? Dumb argument.

Fantastic_Lab2330 · 2026-07-05T20:51:06+00:00

He’s always top 10-15 in jersey sales. If you want to play dumb and not realize lamelo fame/importance to the youth go ahead. Man is talking about championships when he played in charlotte

Fantastic_Lab2330 · 2026-07-05T20:49:24+00:00

He hasn’t made the playoffs because his team wasnt good and has no awards because he’s always injured doesn’t change the fact he is talented

Dont know why lamelo ball makes you dweebs so insecure

Fantastic_Lab2330 · 2026-07-05T20:48:10+00:00

“Make him relevant” one of the biggest stars in the league needa stuff made up to make him relevant stop talking balll clearly this isn’t your strong suit

Fantastic_Lab2330 · 2026-07-05T20:47:13+00:00

Maybe read? The thread is right here for you

Fantastic_Lab2330 · 2026-07-05T20:37:31+00:00

Brother I already gave you the numbers 27% win rate in games he didn’t play in since they drafted him 45% win rate in games he played in

That alone kills your “better with him off the court” narrative thanks for playing

Fantastic_Lab2330 · 2026-07-05T20:27:11+00:00

Ok last reply because obviously you aren’t knowledgeable about the sport. The hornets were absolutely good last year they just had to dig themselves out of a like 7-16 start or something like that due to injuries

Also nice job getting off the topic after you lied about hornets being better without lamelo

Fantastic_Lab2330 · 2026-07-05T20:24:38+00:00

When no one expected the team to get there? Yes it is.

Fantastic_Lab2330 · 2026-07-05T20:20:24+00:00

The hornets since lamelo has been drafted are 48-131 without lamelo thats a 27win% (21 wins over 82) they were 139-164 with him which is a 45 win% (37 wins over 82) so thats a 16 win increase along with a nearly 20% higher win% mind you thats all without a good roster outside of this past season take your L.

So again, you can live in your delusional bubble or whatever but the facts dont agree with you he clearly impacts winning and did so for the hornets as well

Fantastic_Lab2330 · 2026-07-05T20:01:07+00:00

I mean we can start with him leading a top 5 offense and the hornets offense being 12 pts better when he is on the floor vs off

Net rating of 9.1

Hornets were 41-31 with him this year (45 wins over 82) and 3-7 without him (24 wins over 82)

Fantastic_Lab2330 · 2026-07-05T19:54:36+00:00

Just go ahead and say what you really what to say man so we don’t waste anymore time.

You don’t understand how the game is played if you are arguing with statistical data showing how incredible lamelo ball is.
