Hornets are 11-29. Right now, while he is a talent, it is great numbers bad team. Win games.

10-19 with Lamelo, 1-10 without. Team has had all 5 starters healthy for 4 games all year. Not out of the question to say without Lamelo this team is worse than the 11-12 bobcats.

LaMelo Ball leads Eastern Conference point guards in PPG and is second in the NBA at that position. He’s deserving of being an All Star starter. He’s coming back from a fractured ankle that ended his previous season.

This is fascinating, been discussing a lot about this with my friends.

If you’re writing about it and were reading about it, there’s something about it. Problem is whether 15 or 50 why is criticizing fans for fanning a thing these days?
His team stinks and he hasn’t proven he can win anything yet but why the cynicism? That says more than the topic of conversation.

Your followers under 20 yo has to be tiny. I like the premise of this article. I’m just not sure how you could actually figure out how this age group voted based on your social media.

You're right, there is for sure selection bias at play in the way I tried to attack this story.

Almost 2.5 million fans voted for him though and I mostly see people clowning them. There are plenty of smart fans within that group.
