Michael Jordan Warned Us About LaMelo Ball But Nobody Listened…

Michael Jordan saw something in LaMelo Ball before almost everyone else did. After Charlotte selected LaMelo with the No. 3 pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, Jordan publicly admitted the young point guard had exceeded expectations — and LaMelo quickly became Rookie of the Year and an NBA All-Star.

In this video, we break down what Michael Jordan recognized in LaMelo, how injuries derailed his rise in Charlotte, and why his final season with the Hornets showed a completely different version of his game. We also examine the blockbuster trade that sent LaMelo to the Minnesota Timberwolves, his fit alongside Anthony Edwards, and why playing for a contender could finally reveal the player Jordan believed he would become.
