LaMelo Ball Attempts To Dunk On A Fast Break And It Goes Very Poorly

At the tender age of 13, LaMelo Ball committed to to play basketball at UCLA standing just 5’7” tall. Now 15 and a sophomore at Chino Hills High School in California, LaMelo has undergone a bit of a growth spurt, standing 6’3” and considered by many to be one of the top sophomores in the country.

Despite his five-star recruit status, one part of LaMelo’s game seems to be lagging: his bounce. The sharpshooter tried to diversify his portfolio in an AAU game this weekend by woofing one down in the open court. It was about as close as the Lohan family.

When the job posting says 3-5 years experience but you apply anyway…

Now I don’t want to roast LaMelo too hard, he did actually “dunk” in a game in September, so maybe it was the shoes. Look at this POWERFUL slam.

Matt’s love of writing was born during a sixth grade assembly when it was announced that his essay titled “Why Drugs Are Bad” had taken first prize in D.A.R.E.’s grade-wide contest. The anti-drug people gave him a $50 savings bond for his brave contribution to crime-fighting, and upon the bond’s maturity 10 years later, he used it to buy his very first bag of marijuana.
