The Charlotte Hornets may have lost against the Orlando Magic, but LaMelo Ball earned a new admirer in Jamal Crawford for his flashy performance in Friday’s game.
Early in the third quarter of the contest, Ball embarrassed the Magic not once but twice with an epic back-to-back play. After putting Cole Anthony on skates, he proceeded to make a solid steal en route to a between-the-legs alley-oop pass to Miles Bridges.
The ability and confidence to do it in a live game drew crazy reactions from his Hornets teammates and the crowd, and deservingly so.
