You should put their stats at the end of the video like if you agree!!!
like
Yes
Cam Alexander description always has the pts but yeah I would love the full stats
Their in the description
Yeh, not just points. I’d be more interested in their plus minus.
3:48 the most over hyped lob😂
these commentators had me dead with that bs lmao
Made me cringe
Stephen Rico when you waking in to your class room and get a 90 when you thought you failed
Aye that shit was looking meann low key ,I don't blame em😁
They don't see many, if any alley oops in Lithuania lmao
Melo is getting use to not being able to do whatever the hell he wants he's in a new system and he's starting to play defense and actually adapt to his position.
That's 100 percent rue but this is the better path for him that cherry picking wasn't helping him at all.
PharoahOfFitness couldn't of said it any better I totally agree
Exactly 💯
A couple days ago their Coach low key told Melo to grow up
His biggest issue still is not being able to make plays through contact, but that'll come with time and with some focus on his strength and conditioning, some of which he'll naturally get through playing against grown men. Still really impressed with how he's improved on the defensive end and the fact that he's reading plays well on that end. Needs to stay with it a bit more offensively and just slow down a touch to help benefit his decision making. Gelo was really impressive this time out, his shot seems to be clicking for him a bit more and I like the fact he was posting up more in this game because I feel like he can be really effective playing that way. The more game time these boys get, the better they'll get, just gotta stay the course and stay locked in.
Gelo scored 20 pts in 23 mins. Damn imagine how many points he would have scored if he played 30+ minutes !!!
And he still missed some easy shot... TNeed to see how he does against top teams in the league but if he keeps on improving the guy might average 15-20 pts in his first season. If he doesn't get drafted i'm pretty sure a team like Zalgiris will sign him.
27
prolly 33
Max So I think he might need a extra year before trying to get into the draft but melo will be ready by the time hes 19
Max So he also made tough shots tho
Ballislife can you please put Melos and Gelos stats at the end of the video or in the description please?
JaydenT you can watch the games on Facebook
I feel like everyone really underestimate gelos ability 😳
Defo looking much better. Lots of flaws in his game but most of them are easily fixable.
I feel like he gets overlooked a bit because he doesn't play to his greatest strength enough, which is literally his size and strength. I say this a lot, but he could be a go-to killer on the block and backing guys down. He uses his shoulders well in the post and he's powerful enough to shift bodies to give himself easy shots. Shot seems to be finding some consistency though which is always great to see.
Melo's decision making at the rim has got to get way better.
Darius Gray facts my boy only 16 so he got a little time to learn the game still.
Yes i agree with both of you. Hopefully he uses this experience to truly advance. And put some weight on lol
Ikr he gonna mad crazy once he polish his skills and put some weight gonna be mix of kyrie dribble/Johnwall speed and curry shooting not on par but close i mean who knows 🤷🏾♂ all i know is he gonna be pretty good in the nba
He’s 16 playing against professionals. His body also hasn’t matured yet. He’s got a few more inches and probably another 20 lbs by 18
He's scared of contact but he's only 16 and these guys are way bigger
Gelo is looking a lot better
Gelos gonna be a steal in the draft
i dont know why people think gelo is trash. he can drop 3s and post up. they just need to work on their D. melo needs to eat lol.
Melo is 16
Literally
Really all Gelo can do is shoot the 3 ball. If he reaches the nba who is he going to be posting up as a guard? His post skills are basically useless once he reaches the league.
Return Of 23 have u not seen Carmelo?
And Gelo is my favourite ball brother, i'm just being objective
Gelo lookin like a 2nd rounder in the draft
Gelo going to the league dont @ me
Alex Perez lmfao😂
word
Dont at you?
Lmao don’t @ me 😂😂😂
*Take this @*
Gelo is a good outside scoring and inside scorer... I don’t get why people hate him
Ambrose H I really like him tbh
P Roh Dusah LMAOO SO TRUE
he is 6'5 fat and slow for NBA
Gregory Everson cuz klay thompson is fast....
Gregory Everson he pure muscle bro tf u talking bout
Funny that you don’t hear any jokes about them on ESPN anymore...
alex barboni they are apparently relevant enough for you to watch and comment...
0:14 yo, Gelo just crossed someone. When have u ever seen that?!
Officialoliver he been putting in that work, his jump shot money 💰💴
Kevin Smith what the fuck did you just say ? LMFAO im hispanic but what you said was some bullshit, wtf does race/skincolor have to do with this
Jojo Pack whit boys are less balanced in basketball. Facts.
Playing overseas is the best experience for those young men! I'm proud of them and all Homage paid to Pop Dukes!!! -Peace
Gelo led all scorers from both teams with 20 points.
alex barboni L
alex barboni That shows how dumb you are. balls basically bought a bankrupted team, which is not eligible to buy good players. Some of the players even have second jobs. They can win against 1 or two teams, others just messing with them, letting bench players to play. Five players of the opposing team scored over 15 points. If both teams are good you won't see scores like 116, it's not possible. The way basketball is played in Europe is not as fast-paced and focused on the individual like it is in the NBA, for the most part.
Gelo went off
Jason Ziegler he only played for 20 mins so maybe the game could have been different if he played more
Gelo look beastly
Michael Choi Are u dumb? They played against the grown men in lithuania and they are better than the kids in D1 because they have high experience and they make good decisions this team they played wasnt the best they are 6th in the league while melo's team is 10th if they played the best team u would be shook cuz they are super good
Michael Choi Idiot they played the main lithuanian league this game and im Lithuanian so dont argue ffs
Michael Choi they play the BBB games and that’s not high competition but the LKl is the pro league over there an it’s better than D1
melo is playing defense wow
haha
lol calm down
he played good defense in chino hills. all of em can play defense
Lethal Sperm What???? SMH. They can play defense, but he sure as hell didn't play good D in Chino Hills;
LikeMike294 you must’ve not watched his freshman season...
Realistically they aren't playing bad. Euro leagues are great for player development and I've seen both Melo and gelo make some good improvements. Melo mostly. I mean the shot selection is better, he actually plays defense, and he's actually becoming a great passer. Give them some time to develop.
Logan Rolenc Melo was always a great passer. He did a lot of that as a freshman for chino hills when Lonzo was there.
Melo always been a great passer. His effort on D is whats impressed me
Gelo lowkey nice
JustLittleTrill he been nice
Stealing comments
He ain't as good as melo, he younger and less experienced he will be a much better nba player
He been nice I’ve been waiting for people to realize
He's kinda rude
Don't let this distract u from the fact the jaguars blew a 10 point lead
Joe John Cause the shits rigged homie
Wow, ten points? Barely a two possession game. Wow
nah....you don't blow leads against brady. he just eats leads for lunch
Nah it’s just that patriots get all the good calls
It was 14-3 so not 10 ;)
Gelo #1 pick in the Draft
For China
Damn 500 likes
with this steal abilities, he will be a star there, if not basketball then prison ball (_(
He will be the steal of the draft 😏
Long Time lmao
Long Time hating bitch
bRIOn909 how is he a hater 🤔🤔🤔
This is why gelo is my favorite
Goodycolt4000 I feel like he doesn’t get enough credit
Ikr
Why??? Because of his lock down D?
Goodycolt4000 l
Facts he gets no credit
people fail to realize melo is only 16 and playing with grown men lmao, do you expect him to drop 50 a game? He'll gain experience over there and will be ready once he gets into the draft
he had like 4 steals and a block... how is that not playing defense
"dude" you probably don't know any other 16 year olds playing or even watch basketball.
His man to man is lacking BUT these niggas don't know how to switch in this "higher level" league on top of the entire team being trash defensively.
They were the 2nd to worst team in their "league" before Lamelo and Gelo. And how is dude lazy with like 4 steals or forced steals and a block at 16. But he won't be drafted because you think so... Keep up with that lame narrative though
people fail to realize this is not grown men its like 17-19 yr olds, this is not the pro teams
Gregory Everson the LKL is the first league in Lithuania. The BBB challenge games are against other young players but this game was against a regular team
last 2 games were against grown men... watch the games next time
Tbh Gelo is a decent player out of the brothers, he has good hustle, better shooting form than the two, and he’s a beefy player compared to his brothers. On the other hand, the china thing is effed up
Nick how? Lol
Nick lonzo not consistent, no hustle, his shooting form is out of this world. Melo shoots decent but his defense when he’s against “grown up” is weak
Gelos shot the most orthodox thats bout the only thing hes got going, he can make the league but it will be hard and he def aint ganna be no superstar
IamNeil aRon lonzo leads his team in rebounds and assists per game, and is a good defender, the lakers arnt even competitive without him on the court, he has the most impact out of any rookie for his team
BrokenQT damn I ain’t know Donovan Mitchell died
melo is gonna be nasty and hes only 16 years of age. this is better than playing high school games and playing overseas will help him improve his defense and offence. I dont think theres a baller like lamelo in the age of 16 who is doing better than him
james - ye. Prob not
james - Facts
Luka doncic at 16 was waaaaay better then this bever
Muhib Ibrahim Rubio was not better than Doncic at same age
Muhib Ibrahim Well look at him now.
melo only 16 and y'all hating? dudes gonna be superstar in the NBA
Casey Eickhoff so were so many 16 year olds
Not a superstar n he’s good but he’s turning 17 this year in his grade 11 year so he still has awhile
yeah but no 16 year olds were playing like this
Agreed!
How do you know he's gonna grow to 6'8? lol
gelo can put up points real quick
Gelo looks like one of those players everybody going to regret passing on when he gets to the NBA.
Melo look like he bench press marshmallows
he like 16
Yoooooooooo hahaha
Gelo looking nasty , don't forget melo only a age of a jr in hs he gonna develop fast
Brandon Carpenter sophomore* he just turned 16 juniors are turning 17
Sebastian most kid graduate at 17 18
Brandon Carpenter no lol most kids graduate at 18 lol trust me I’m a junior some people graduate at 17 if they start school early in melo’s case I’m pretty sure he skipped a grade to play with his brothers so he is actually supposed to be a sophomore
Cheesy Fries who tf is looking for a negative how the fuck is him not being the standard age of a junior a bad thing gtfo if anything it’s a good thing, I’m saying he is as old as sophomore and is compared to Juniors
Cheesy Fries lol yea I’m not like these other people that hate on this nigga for no reason I’m saying if you compare him to the sophomore class which he should be in nobody is fucking with him in terms of skill and talent
Gelo the best brother don’t @ me...
Gelo scored 20 against foreign scrubs. Lonzo scored 30 against an NBA team.....Scoring isnt everything and Lonzo STILL achieved more in that aspect agianst higher competition. Find another sport to have shit opinions on....dont @ me.
jblakk haters always gonna hate because they cant put in the work themselves.
Liangelo is 19, and he’s holding his own against grown ass men
Oh yeah no disrespect to Gelo, but to say hes the best brother is moronic. Lonzo is doing greater things against grown men as well.
*Take this @ my guy*
Kyrie Irving Better than Magic Johnson #faxxx that’s what I’m saying... lonzo the best playmaker gelo the best scorer the only thing melo does is brick dribble and draw fouls but people say gelo won’t make the nba
proud of them
The comments are so random😂
Cannon Savage anything to discredit the boys
Cannon Savage wat a lefty scoop @ 1:36. lol🤣
Cannon Savage what type of baksetball is this like college etc
Gelo looking like nba talent
no he doesnt
+Gregory Everson stfu greg
Playing against part-time plumbers and uber drivers will do that.
Not yet, but he will eventually, give him one more year I, but bro is still going on the right path
Cheesy Fries I don't know if you outplay someone when your team loses by 20+points or if you are just collecting worthless and misleading stats ;) .
Gelo highkey raw asf. Why people sleepin on him.
It’s good that they have so much haters. It makes this whole thing more interesting to follow haha
They're making big progress! I love watching them play
Jon Thomi *big baller progress
Gelo underrated as hell man. 2nd pro leauge game and 20 points already.
Man Getsu off the bench too
this is like semi pro, this isnt the real squads
it's pro stop talking out of your ass jack ass
Ryuji the Goat no it’s not. People are confused here. These pro teams have main squads and b squads like a g league type team. That’s what this is. Just because they are “grown men” which in fact most of these guys are not does not mean it is high level competition. Just use your common sense when you watch do any of these guys look like high quality basketball players. I mean seriously. They’re not bad but it’s not “professional” in an American sense of the word.
Rob Kennedy you fucking idiot this is the LKL its the real deal stop talking out of your ass
Gelo knos da wae.
0:30 that was nice
“OHHHHHHHHHH”
ben finne lol
Gelo the most versatile out of the three in terms of scoring
The RealBeard and the worse in terms of defence
Evaldas Grigaitis fuck no Melo plays no D
Eduardo Alvarenga i saw melo got a steal and a block that game tho
mo with dat flo well you are right mate..!although, if you watched whole game you would know that he is lacking defensive skills..on top of that I don’t think he will last long in a country ...Vytautas coach basically blamed ball brothers for the lose and criticised their defence ..
Lamelos hair alone probably decreases his jump by 4 inches cause its so goddam heavy. Get a hair cut bro
Joseph Decker lol right
Joseph Decker lol he's got an animal on his head
It's not about weight but air friction!!
broccoli head
Niebuhr either way its slowing him down lol
If Gelo develops a DWade miderange game, man he would be a serious weapon
Raymond Somuah yeah he’s like a traditional 2 Guard with the Strength and athleticism of a 3
he can do more than that and it looks like he got more weight than dwade so he can pop 3's and fake em to the hoop in the paint all day
what you said is a possibility though too
Thinking the exact same thing! He needs that moving middy and it would open his game a lot more.
I see Melo getting better every game keep working my brother I see you 👀
I was thinking " Why Lavar dissapointed? :/ " Then I saw the score
Lavar wants the coach to play Melo and Gelo at the same time but its not happening
Misschien koop ik wel een Bentley of misschien koop ik wel Honda. In me jacka met bontkraag. Rijdend naar de fashionweek. VROOM VROOM VROOM
Gelo has to get used to not posting up every player cause that shit will not happen in the NBA
Been waiting for this all day
They are doing better than I expected..I was skeptical .proud of them....I give their dad props on making the decision to let them play abroad....they are getting way more experience and playing time....kuddos
y'all be on Melo jock, Gelo be hooping
Xzavier Hall its coz melo is 16 and scored 13 in 18mins. Gelo is 19 and scored 20 in 25 mins.
Ali Mirza Gelo makes better decisions
Funny how he couldn’t do that in college
Fernandez Gale he played one game 😂
Melo needs to go straight up with the ball. He got in this habit of doing an up and under type layup everytime
Wesley D i thinks its effective tho. He gets a lot of open looks that way.
Wesley D he gets some bounce then he can stop those but rn all his layups will get swatted if he us to go straight up with a defender on him he plays under the rim
Yeah its just a bad habit to develop. And even if there are defenders you go straight up and get contact and make some free throws
Wesley D he be playing too much 2k.
That's not a big deal, it's just a normal part of his development to make those adjustments.
turn ur volume down @3:50. you’re welcome
HELLLL NAHHHHHHHH
Melo' should be in Chino Hills with his tournament games on Espn living his best life LA, Gelo' should be in UCLA as that alpha dog type enforcer and leader of the team off the bench or starting for 3 or 4 years living his best life, and they maybe couldve played together at UCLA for a year. Those kids just gotta' be feeling like theyre in jail over there man.
or that's all just your perception..
considering Gelo was actually in jail, i dont think thats a good comparison.
sakarai kyotomi lol
Dave lol right 😂
Dave You dont have to perceive it. Melo' could be the most famous high school athlete in the country , Gelo' could be playing in LA at UCLA, and they could be around their brother who play the Lakers partying and training with professionals , but instead they in Lithuania
They will be better than kids who attended college, if they make the NBA, their game will be more advance than other rookies, and the way they handle pressure will be better. Their not only playing against people their age, their also playing against grown ups.
James Donovan true, but we're talking about BBB.
Ball is life
Lemme find out that they was right when they said gelo had the most potential
Gelo is a beast.
The only reason I think Melo would have so much potential is because he has played his brothers 100+ games(getting used to different play styles). He's getting used to the next level competition at a young age. His body will grow and change more drastically.
No one says Gelo had the most potential. Lonza is BY FAR the most talented Ball brother
The audio quality on the commentary sounds like some sort of B class E-Sports Tournament. Jeez.
I wish they’d post the stats at the end of the game
and the other team's record/ranking would be nice to know too
I think Gelo led all players in scoring with 20
Bianca k P.Zvaigzdes is currently going 7-13 in the regular season
Here's the stats for this game: www.lkl.lt/rungtynes/97#mbt:73-400$t&0=1
basketball.realgm.com/international/league/10/Lithuanian-LKL/team/442/Vytautas-Prienu/stats
Way better comp than high school and even most college teams, great move
Zach Rod probably way better and D1 too. i mean theyre pro, so whats the diff between the NBA!
+john martin there is a huge difference
That's looking alot better now. It's so cool that we can see them develop!💛
Tbh gelo is going to be a great player maybe a lottery pick if he keeps getting better and lamelo is so much raw potential he has the potential to be better than all his brothers and could be one of the top players in the nba in a little while my point is they both are going to be really good and once they play defense the sky is the limit
:))) nah gelo at best late first round if not 2nd round pick
i wouldnt draft Gelo or Melo
Gelo isn’t on any draft board... he’s got a long way to go. Melo will be a lottery pick by 18
He’s walkin on the lakers. Not getting drafted
Melo needs to gain some muscle first. He's gonna get pushed around no matter what league he is in. He's fast as lightning with the ball in his hands...but extremely frail.
Headphone users warning at 3:48 these announcers way too hyped lol
shoutout to gelo, he looking fresh out there, by far the best on the court, melo... not so much
Everyone hated on gelo the last 3 years and now people just say he is the best out of the 3 because he had a good game😂😂😂
Ball brothers ballin out
Somebody look me in the eye and tell me these guys don't sound like those two foreign from family Guy
Lamelo is actually good
daniel casanova bro this kid is going to be a fucking monster bout time he's 18
daniel casanova i mean he okay He's definitely better than high school and he's not a complete ball hog No more
BaZrK his defense is also better
Yes he puts on a little more weight at least and get fundamentally better then he’s a possible superstar.
there are dozens of Melos out there, they kid isnt that good
Love seeing highlights of free throws.....
Help earned Mad Respect for this performance it is only one game but he's making progress I can't wait to see more
I fuck with the commentators
Please record how much they score
definetly seeing improvement, this is nice
Great job ball bros
OOOOOOOHHHHH i love these announcers
Gelo can be a pretty good NBA player if he works on his shot and passing...He can spread the floor and grab boards and he seems to be a good back to the basket player which can cause double teams and easy points!
WeBe Flexin your acting like gelo isn’t the better shot out of the 3, He Has the best form 100%
Teh Vxeh I didn’t say he was trash at shooting all I said is he needs to keep practicing because he gets a lot of wide open looks, but he misses most of them, point being he’s not a consistent three point shooter and he needs to work on that...
He needs to work on his handling
melo loves doing that one layup package 0:32
Im DEF a fan of these brothers! They r very young and playing against semi-pro!
Wtf the more they play well the less haters I see in the comments section and no reaction from ESPN, for all the people who have dreams and goals always remember its hard for people to diss you and tell you you will never make it when you're doing well always strive for greatness, we know there are a lot of people who want to see these boys fail but those same people are going to be kicking themselves when these boys make NBA/Lakers
LOL gelo will NEVER make the NBA. And With how Lonzo (who is BY FAR the most talented) is playing, i doubt the Lakers want any other Ball members
These 2 are never getting into the NBA. Never.
Wait who told you they aren't gonna make it?? Who's even stopping them from making it?? That's just pure hater talk, obviously you have something against these boys that you have to be subjective and pessamistic. They'll eventually make it whether you like it or not.
They're not elite athletes at the NBA level, average quickness and weak vertical. They're poor defenders. They can shoot a bit, not much else. No team wants their dad's circus show. They're gonna have to get 1000% better to get into the NBA.
when your so early your wifi turns into a 55 ovr
I’m telling y’all, don’t sleep on Gelo, he got size and he can shoot, real good post game, could turn out to be like a Carmelo Anthony type of player
Nice vid dude
If Gelo was 6’10 and above he would have been a top big men but he 6’5 and 6’6 posting up to much shit not gonna work if you go to the NBA he could already shoot but man he need some guard play and elite defense
Not if he a shooting guard posting down shooting guards
Kobe dominated in the post and he was a 6'6" guard....ijs
Ever heard of a guy named Charles Barkley?
Kobe and Jordan was around his height and posted up a lot so....
Remember when Kobe went to Hakeem camp and worked on his post and literally won two championships dropping 16 of his 29 ppg in the post yeah you don’t know basketball
Gelo has a good shot
Ball brothas all day🖤🖤🖤👊🏿
Looks like fun!
Ball Brothers are great..but d GREATEST-GOAT is Lavar Ball...go hang in there my man...
Commentators are so funny
Notification gang
Gelo highly underrated. Watching all these highlights and he does really well. Maybe cause he is quiet he doesn't get the respect he deserves.
3:50 just a standard alley oop, idk why announcers got so hyped
Drew Yang cause they normally don't see shit like that over there lol
They don’t know that new wave that is starting in the nba
People are more emotional in Europe than in boring america where announcers don't show any emotions.
That shot at 2:47 did not look like a 3 star prospect gotta be at least a 4
the boys are cooking along nicely.
no typo
Damn,what they gonna say now? The ball brothers are balling you see it,both melo and gelo shooting 3's and scoring in the paint when they do come back to the states they'll be official monsters on the court.
There both making the nba whether you like it or not...
Liam Brauer lmao iv always been about the BBB boys but neither one of them will ever ever ever go to the NBA...its a fact
:)) melo maybe... But gelo bruhhh never gonna happen. He too small and too slow to play the 4 in the nba
William Spellman lonzo made it, Melo would make it, gelo would barely make it
Han cholo he can play guard and small forward. He’s a good shooting guard for his height.
Yall really think gelo wont make the nba you ever look at his highschool stats
How many shooting guards do you know, thats 19 years old with a developed low post game?
I don't know why y yhall can't see it, Gelo is like Klay Thomas only with an added low post game. The boy is strong and can shoot lights out. His defense of potential to
Defend 1-3 is coming. Just watch, If he stays focus!! He'll be special
Klay has way faster feet. Gelo relies on the post because he's not fast. Gelo is fairly slow by Lithuanian standards, the NBA would destroy him. In Lithuania he can rely on post moves and wide open shots. He's not doing anything out there that requires speed.
J Subtext- Everyone is entitled to there own opinion but yours is wrong my friend. The reason why gelo post up isn't because he's so slow but it's because he's so much stronger than majority of the players guarding him. They got videos online of this guy benching 315. Lonzo is his older brother and will admit that he isn't stronger than gelo. Lonzo is a NBA guard and he doesn't come close to his little brother Gelo strength. So gelo super fast but he isn't handicap slow either. He's simply using his advantage of strength. Most 2 guards are tall and lanky, gelo is saying if this dued is guarding me I'll go right in front of the hoop because he can't stop me there. That's good fundamental basketball
As for your speed comment...
Klay isn't fast either. Gelo and Klay are comparable when it comes to
Speed.
I see your point about strength and I agree he's way stronger than Lonzo. He's relying on strength in the Euro league though and while he's not slow for LKL standards, he's definitely not very fast either. Melo is much faster but has much more average lateral quickness which will be a problem at the highest levels. Gelo appears to possibly have similar speed to Klay but less quickness. Watching Klay on defense, he just seems like he has better agility than what Gelo can get going unless it is his anticipation that makes him appear more quick. Gelo seems a bit too slow for NBA SG but possibly built more for SF. Problem is SFs on average have gotten so tall and fast in recent years it's getting harder to make it in the NBA. A small disadvantage means a lot more at elite levels.
Maybe you can say he's a VERY poor man's Klay (with a lot of development).
I see what your saying but things have changed. Have you seen a NBA game lately? The halfcourt pace is not fast at all. These days it's all about the pick and roll, read and react game. Basically, players are looking and waiting for openings off of picks, shooting the three, or attacking the basket and/or finding the open man in the corner. So the speed of the game isn't what it was when ISO ball was popular. Fast breaks are still fast but the league is ran by a bunch of guys in or nearing 30, if Gelo can't run with these guys then it will be because of heart and effort not speed.
You're completely right about the pick and roll being completely dominant in today's NBA but having agility still makes a difference in many situations. Having more agility still often makes the difference when shots are contested and more so in the backcourt where Gelo would play. Team defense and great footwork can make him a better defender but it's always more difficult with below average quickness, especially against top teams. Also if he ends up being a poor defender, it'll be harder to earn minutes unless his offense is really special. There are a lot of great players that don't make it in the NBA because their athletic ability is just a few notches too low. Some players overcome this but I have my doubts about Gelo.
This play is so great 😍😂
