Gelo got left off Bad & Boujee ☹️
Doesitlooklikehegotleftooffbadandboujee?
@@gushto423 😂😂 touché sir, touché
He ain't left off bad & boujee
@@gushto423 🤣🤣
Who?
Lonzo acting like there were no Internet in his day lmao
Not crazy how it is now
funny thing people weren't watching over seas ball like that till Melo went over. just the scouts were really. but General public? Melo did that
They grew up in 2 totally different times
@@jcglez9491 nah 19 to 26/27 all grew up in the same kind of times
@@_aarondiazzzz You kinda reaching, between 19 to 22-23 maybe, but technology and the world can change or evolve a lot within 5+ years.
Why is lonzo acting like he been in the nba like 10 yrs plus 😂
Facts it’s that older brother affect😭
Facts
Lmao
Fr he acting like he 35
Lonzo trash
“I’ll give you $20”
Melo: “OK!!”
Lamelo*
@@ciscodisco-mz6sm LaLaLa no I ain’t Carmelo
That was for the other dude lol
@@ciscodisco-mz6sm Melo*
@@mudasir6738 Incorrect but u have the spirit
“I used to shoot that thang behind my neck” had my crying😭
Lamelo like lonzo you not better than me bro 😂
He always been like dat they both nice
I'm sure Michael Jackson had to say the same thing to Jermaine!
And he right
@@thelowkeyuser yea but not on defense
But my question for the tinfoil hat mask wearers is: How do you expect to build a strong immune system if you run from germs your whole life. They say the healthiest people are farmers and their children.
Cue the “we really watched him grow up” comments
We did 😂😂😂
Bro i don’t know why that comment makes me cringe fr
@Me, Also Me....Meh:
Different eras of the social media age. Hard to compare. Definetly alot more exposure, now, compared to people than back in 2003.
But its true tho, they were literally everywhere
@@itssjdrip ong don't know y bro bothered by niggas commenting u don't have to read em lmao
I loved what Lonzo said about his younger brother, that was cool. I felt that
Yeah like he kept it real when he was saying that stuff because if he wasn't he would have been saying "flashy" or "streaky"
Gave me chills too. Lonzo nice af! Respect 🔥
Feel like this should be a my career storyline lol
Only if we are allowed the liangelo path as well lol
2k looking at this comment like "hmmmmmmmmmmmmm"
2k22 about to be lit my career wise thanks to this comment
Oh my god I would love that like bro next gen road should be like lamelo
They kinda did when we had to play in Shanghai first then made it to the NBA
If only lonzo had lamelos confidence
Lonzo definitely helped with his confidence
I know... I don't know why he's not though, I think once Zo finds his way, he'll be really good... I think that first year really sapped his confidence... And his dad didn't help by putting a target on his back and hyping him up too much...
@@abdelchowdhury you gotta realize melo has been playing up his entire life. With that and a dad who is always saying “you’re better because you play with older kids” you’re gonna believe it yourself. He was 13 on the best team in the nation, I’d be gassing myself up too
@@Michael-vw4cg I love Melo too...I just think Lonzo is better but the hype created by his father and Magic put a target on his back and he has not really recovered from that first year where every player wanted to send a message to his father through him...
Melo has dealt with the scrutiny better because he was able to learn from his older brother and Hornets handled it better by not creating the media circus Magic created... I want Melo to succeed... I think it's shameful that there are people who want this kid to fail...
@@abdelchowdhury If ur good, you'd do good in the nba no matter how big of a target ur carrying in ur back.
Lonzo laughing when melo said “like 5 adjectives??” 😂😂😂
Funniest part and him saying I use to shoot that thang behind my neck 😂🤣🤣😂
Interviewer: “melo describe your brother in five words”
Melo: “like five adjectives”😂😂😂😂😂😂
Mafoking lonzo bursted laughing when he asked that. 😅
He was always a special kid 😂😂
Melo didnt get to do much highschool, we should be happy if he's literate.
@Franco Galasso adjective is a describing word. So when she says describe...
Hahaha melo always been dumb even in ball in the famiy when lavar asked do you even know what charcoal is? What color is turquoise?
2:18 "Social media was different"
Dude, you were drafted in 2017 not 2007 lmao
Bruh 😂😂😂
2017 is a hundred years ago in Social Media time
Talking about how easier it was to watch or see lamelo from freshmen to now then lonzo , def big difference
It definitely was different even if it was a short amount of time. Look at all the HS athletes with hella followers on social media now. That wasn’t as prominent before 2017. There were some social media sensations but a lot of athletes didn’t get famous until the NBA. LaMelo had more followers than a lot of NBA players while he was in HS lol. It definitely was different.
@@kingcapital5595 it was but not in the way these kids have social media
Gelo really the middle child 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@Good Vibez AYO💀
😂😭🤭
Imagine playing on NBA with ur bro. Props to Lavar, great great parenting. Building their career since birth what a great parenting. Good job Mr and Mrs Ball
When interviewers say say “Ball brothers” they act like gelo don’t even exist 😂
LaMelo on the attacks on the Capitol: "It's definitely crazy"
safest answer to the question
@@David-ip4ny it was a good answer. No political bias, just saying it’s crazy, which it is
nothing wrong with rhat
Nothing wrong with that. He’s a basketball player not a politician.
@@igiveyouthefacts yeah after thinking about it, I think the true best answer would be no answer
Gelo got his villain backstory going
😂😂
This comment aged well
Melo bringing swag bacc to the game lol
He needs to demand a trade... That coach has Ulterior motives
Hes a baller. I like his flair as a young point guard. Him and Zo actually play like pure-point guards
@@ionly6805 Wdym?
@@Ans3ra They put in one of twins instead Melo or even bridges at least 🥴🥴
Lamelo is playing how I wanted zo to play
😂😂😂
Confident and not uptight, as a Laker fan me too.
Zo is light years better on defense though. You fuse them together you get a good maybe great player lol
@@KingMePlz94 FACTS
I think Magic and his dad didn't do him any favors by holding that huge press conference, hyping him up... Both of them used this 19 yo at the time for their own personal agendas... I think Zo should stay put and keep working, he's still only 23...i still have hope that he will be the player we all saw at UCLA..
Liangelo somewhere punching air
😂😂😂
china 😳
So cold😂😂😂
😭🥲poor liangelo
Hahaha
It's crazy how much Zo has matured...
Zo always been the same
@@DL0AD1NG literally 😂?
More like melo
you mean melo? lonzo always been mature while melo been wild as ah youngin😭💯
@@sleazzjay fr honestly lool
I remember when he was just that short kid with the odell haircut
fr crazy watching them grow and mature Melo especially
@@jrod19437 crazier to think I'm the same age as this dude
Bruh he wasn’t short he was like over 6 ft it was just that everybody was also tall
Kid had so much raw talent and confidence, still does but he’s learning the game evolving by the day. Who woulda thought Lamelo was the best ball brother the whole time?
Must be nice to 3 growth spurts. Seein him as a kid I didn't think he'd hit 6 ft let alone 6'6".
Lokey the instrumental in the back slap lol
Yea its fire
I was thinking that
facts😭😭
yeahhhh its hard
😂
“Like 5 adjectives” 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I mean he's not wrong 🤷♂️
Melo a fool haha
You're so dumb. Melo's question was a valid one. She said 5 words. Melo simply asked if those 5 words needed to be adjectives.
then proceeds to use 3 whole sentences 💀💀
@@kwametabiri9501 Its all in good fun bro calm down
Lamelo looking up to his brothers and pops is something special. Doesn't replicate his game after anyone. Just plays the game how he knows to do so!
“I used to shoot that thing behind my neck”😂😂
they both answer questions and conduct interviews perfectly
This is like the typical brother situation where the older one is more mature but the younger one is favorited more and has more talent.
More talent because of confidence
"yea I remember that..like it was yesterday" 😂😂😂
1:06 i'm dying, my man said, "ok!" like a mamajamma. love this guy
“Like 5 adjectives” 😭😭😂
He dropped out but he good lol
At the end of the day lavar ball did exactly what he had to ensure his children had a future
Period!!
Indeed
I couldn’t be more happier for them both 🙌🏽
Really happy to see LaMelo starting off his career better than some expected. Lonzo may have had his ups and downs, but still a really solid player and a culture changer.
LiAngelo watching LaMelo and Lonzo and feeling ｡ﾟ( ﾟஇ‸இﾟ)ﾟ｡
Liangelo not wit Detroit??
@@tallymann3084 they realeased him before he played a game
I hope liangelo has help, because dealing with this is not gonna be easy
Detroit legit signed him for a couple days for some relevancy in the media
LiAngelo will be playing in the G-League and somebody is gonna take him, hope my Grizzlies do. We need more shooters and everybody knows that Gelo is the best shooter out of the 3. Detroit only did that for attention and judging by their record.....they should've just kept him.🤷🏽♂️😂😂😂😂
Always learning and picking stuff up. This young man gets it. You got learn as your working hard, build the brain and the body. He's going to hopefully have a phenomenal career for my Hornet's.
Humble gentlemen. Wish nothing but the best for these talented hardworking young men!
"I am looking up to my brothers and my pops" WOW ♥️
"5 words or less uhhh like 5 adjectives?" - Lamelo 😂😂😂
The way Lonzo talks about his lil bro is dope
Im surprised liangelo wasnt in the background of both they videos at the same time
🤣🤣🤣👌🤣🤣🤣
I been watching melo since I was a junior 5 years ago it feel unreal how much he’s grown physically and mentally
💖💖💖💖I love their bond and relationship!!! Brothers you are wonderful and loved! Continue to hold each other down!
poor gelo. as a middle child i know the feeling, we're always over looked.
Ain't my case😁
It's just that Melo and Lonzo has better talent. Not because he's overlooked.
its about talent.... gelo's potential is capped for highschool - college level
The incident in China while at UCLA ended his career. Could've had a great time in college while developing his skills he would've needed to have any shot at the NBA. Now, he has to go through his own version of NBA 2K19 MyCareer. Good luck to him.
Its honestly his fault he shouldn't of stole the glasses or he would of been in the nba
Ok the Intro was dope
Whoever thought to do similar plays with both brothers was cool
Proud of my boys 🥺
Seeing Lamelo drop off Lonzo in the old vid brings back memories LOL! Looking forward to future games between these too. So many more podcast convos when they happen
Those were the good days lmao
Man it was like 4yrs ago but so much can change in those times
@@JesusFlores-rw8ry Right!? Feels like 10
Lonzo is so great in interviews man
Yall so negative. Why can’t their brother be proud of them? I think he is proud they doing good and his time will come too🙏
Amen I agree 💯
yes i was looking for this comment
Melo showing that education 😂 “adjective??” Lol Lil bro a baller tho
I love watching the ball Brothers
That intro was 🔥🤞🏽
Lonzo was being too nice this interview. They both are great passers and have good vision. I respect Zo's humbleness but he's TOO humble and downplays his game I feel like. It's all good tho, just gotta keep working and remember he'll always be the big brother
Much love between brothers
Lamelo got his mom, stern soft spoken heart and demeanor, BALL FAMILY THANK YOU JESUS!!!!
Why’d they hit them w a political question 😂
They answered it pretty well tbh
ikr these are kids who play a game for a living. Why do we have to know what their political views are?
@Ryan Navas idc who it's run by, keep politics out of sports.
Cause they know that they are young and know it’s a risky question that could stir up drama if not answered to what the media prefers. Drama on media means views. Views equals money
Cause players should be involved and speak on social issues, and not have that shitty "shut up and dribble" narrative. They handled well tho.
Lonzo seems like a great big brother and they really aren’t gettin at each other like I thought they would
The Best feeling EVER
god bless you both
As much as I don’t like Lavar aka never lost you have to admit he’s done a good job with his boys 👍🏻
“social media was different then” okay flight 😹😹
“My journey is one of one it describes me” 🔥
Respect them boyz.‼️
Love you bro ❤️
Lmao, I almost thought u were legit for a second
What a loser 😂 your life must be awful
@@boobiegibson6350 stay positive
@@boobiegibson6350 nah that gotta be u
I'm amazed espn managed to have an interview with lamelo and his little brother
That more difficult path question was a really good question. 👍
Shout to Lavar Ball an there Mother. Real 1's!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 God bless them
Yoo that instrumental is HARD 🔥🔥🔥
On god thought I was the only one the first best???
Lonzo answers questions like a 2k myplayer
Impressed that Melo made it to the NBA and is a starter. He did not seem that competitive to me in high school and Australia but I was wrong, wrong, wrong.
Lavar ball is a genius. Look at these beautiful kids. Ball for life
Gotta feel bad for Gelo man the front page of his story may never get written
As much as it sucks he shouldn’t have been stealing with the position he was in lol. Daddy’s rich at least they have connections he’ll be alright
@@T1k213 he shouldn't have stolen anything but Lavar should have let him stay at UCLA accept his punishment and learn and grow from it at the end of the day of the 3 Brothers Gelo could have benefited from college the most to learn the game and develop his game on another level kids go play n college for a reason to get better and get a degree IMO if i were LaVar Gelo would have been the one to get the degree to help expand the brand their are many reasons he could and should have stayed n college but LaVar ruined any opportunity Gelo may have had for whatever reason teams are staying away from I feel bad yea he stole something but he was young and dumb we've all been there before LaVars approach to the situation didnt help at all
@@garymagr81 it definitely did help. Gelo felt like he was on top of the world, that’s why he stole even though he was rich. Not cause he didn’t wanna pay or because he couldn’t, because he felt untouchable. Him being caught and exposed on social media wouldn’t do much. Yeah maybe it would be a good punishment for a couple of months at most, but after that, he would probably feel untouchable again. What his dad did was harsh but it definitely worked. Gelo had to get humbled
Gelo should just get into business like his dad. All is not lost. Dude still in a great position just not with basketball.
I can somehow see these two playing together in the same team in the near future. That would be the ball show indeed
How could they play together not on the same team
They knew it was over wit🔥‼️🏆
How can you not root for these brothers ?
Where's the extension lol I swear this the same as the other one 🤣
LOL facts
Exactly I was expecting some unseen clips or something but it’s the exact same‼️
I like melos attitude hes just a kid in a grown man's world having fun. Hope he does big things and doesn't try to stat stuff.
Young legends
Melo got drafted by MJ and Zo got drafted by Magic greatness
both have similar initials too. MJ23 and Magic Johnson
Them on the same team would be crazy
brotherly love
He said I looked up to brother and pops this kid is definitely 1 of 1
Gelo: Do I Not Exist!
“Like 5 adjectives”😭
God bless y’all
Beautiful
Melo said 5 adjectives 😭😭
And so? Melo's question was a valid one. She said 5 words. Melo simply asked if those 5 words needed to be adjectives.
Melo probably next GOAT.
Chill. The dude is gonna be great.
This nikka answered himself 💀
@@JohnSmith-zn4uf 😭😭
@@JohnSmith-zn4uf loll
Lonzos adjectives of Melos game were spot on
I feel that if lonzo had the confidence lamelo have now for 1 he would still be on the Lakers and 2 lamelo would be even better because zo really helped build his confidence
Can't wait to see this version of Lebron and Bronny ✊
Melo really had NBA scouts waking up at 3am to watch him play in the NBL
I wouldn’t be surprised if they figure out a way to team up in the near future and since they have star power they might force the team to pick up Gelo; their dad and even themselves have always spoke about teaming up 💯
I just learned That both of them are straight up humble come interviews. But i see Melo don’t like being number 2 the way he describes Lonzo. Lonzo loves his brother, he gave him a high complement. Lonzo thinks his brother is a freak like an elite one. 🔥 RESPECT!
Gelo watching 😢😢
Lamelo will score 100 points in a game hes that good
?
Put down the gin and juice. You are lit up right now. Make sure you are not driving.
Hes had more games at 0pts then 20+ lol
@@edessentials3206 lol, he needs to go to sleep.
@@eyghen8529 youna hater for real smh
Regardless they both are successful and that’s good 2/3 brothers made it to the NBA moms and pops done a greats job facts
love these boys and wha dachas done of them!
Never seen Steph n his brother get interviewed like this
Seth never gets that love man, he shooting like 54% from 3 and people think he's second rate or something.
