How LaMelo Ball became hated without saying a word

LAS VEGAS -- THE TWITTER RESPONSES are something you might expect from Knicks fans talking about Carmelo Anthony or Cavaliers fans recently discussing Kyrie Irving.

Goodbye! Most overrated player!
I would hate to be his teammate.
Total garbage.
Kid is a [expletive] loser.

And that's just from the past 24 hours.

And it's also not about Anthony or Irving.

It's in response to tweets about LaMelo Ball, a five-star point guard committed to UCLA for the class of 2019. He just led the Adidas Summer Championships in scoring for the week despite being younger than the majority of his opponents, and then scored 56 points in Big Baller Brand's final game of the weekend.
