LaMelo Ball the BEST PG in the NBA
Brandon Jennings and Gilbert Arenas of the Gil’s Arena podcast debate if LaMelo Ball of the Charlotte Hornets is the BEST point guard in the NBA right now. Brandon Jennings thinks the dual threat PG is making a case for it. Even with a bad team he is still averaging almost 30 points a game and is balling for the Hornets. Gil says the new type of guard has to be able to pass and shoot. He is one of those players who can do it all. He has advanced the game of the point guard position in the NBA and will continue to improve during his career. He might be more pass friendly but can score the ball at will too. This inside the nba take comes from the Gil’s Arena podcast airing every week during the NBA season.
Gil’s Arena every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday at 11:30am PT / 2:30pm ET.

His daddy, shout out Lavar instilled in him that he had to make the team better as well just not about him shining… since he was little
Facts
If you think this dude is anywhere near Luka and Shai you are doing some cheap crack way too often.
He need a LeBron though to teach him how to manage a team
A lot coming from Gil
Ok……
FG% 41.9
FG3% 33.4
AST 7
TOV 4
He shoots 24 shots a game but he’s a pass first guard?
I agree with b Jennings
Facts no lies told 💯
I guess he never here of kyrie Irving
over SGA, Luka, Brunson ?
If Melo can get to the defense level and patience of Lonzo wit his hieght and the way the game come so easy to him. Would definitely have a case but RN he no better than a Luka just more flashy but as the old saying goes, "defense wins championships 💯
When I watch him, he bring energy! He get all his teammates open by driving the paint.
Luka dead or sum
lamelo the reason i watch nba!
No way, Kyrie is #1
I think they still need to give Gelo a fair real shot
He so good that the team is ONLY 12-34!!
If Gilbert can be this objective with everybody I’d never disagree with him
I just really hope he doesn’t start messing up and not taking the training seriously but seems like his father has a good grasp on how to guide him at this point
We loving this convo in CLT!!
He should care about numbers even more, he should be averaging a 30 point tripple douboe instead of 28.9,7 and 6
Amazing how this kid has no fear it's insane I'm not sure what Lavar instilled in this kid. To me his more fearless than the other siblings & more talented…..
Luka a PG tho
I approve this Message
He needs better teammates it’s been 5 years already and he still with bad players, or trade him to the spurs him and wemby are the new kobi and shaq , new face of the nba
Jennings is such a dope. This is a take only an ignorant 14 year old would give. Melo can’t shoot, he is a losing player.
Cade now
Stop LaMelo Does all this Stuff and the team still loses he got talent….sure but Does he win? NO!!!
Lamelo doesn't play team basketball this is why his numbers look good but they don't make the playoffs. He shoots too many bad shots.
I guess Luka, SGA, and even Brunson and Cade don't exist?
cade cunningham melo ballhog shoots 13 3 pt shooters and shoots 33.9% percent from 3 dont listen to these clowns
Truth!
High scoring numbers with below average efficiency….. and is leading the league in turnovers. If you count for all the games he has missed. Basically a turnover to assist ratio. That’s not a good point guard
Lamelo got inches on bj and still ain’t guarding nothing
Luca is better and it isn't close.
Gotta remember that both Jennings and Gil didn’t care about wins, they only cared about scoring lol. I see exactly why they love LaMelo.
Sounds to me lamelo isnt just me me me me.. hes not selfish with the ball and is consistently looking for openings with his team whos wide open for a clean shot
I don't understand the obsession with Melo. What is it?….the braids?! Dude doesn't play winning basketball. Is he fun to watch?…. of course. Time Duncan was a boring ass player to watch. He won though….and he won a lot. (Not a spurs fan just giving a comparison). Can the guy get to 30 wins before we start anointing him the best. Cade Cunningham took literally THE WORST TEAM IN NBA HISTORY…. and they're in the playoffs hunt. Cade has done way more with way less than Lamelo
Putting up hollow numbers on losing team yeah hes a great pomt guard
The kids got some magic in him
