OK, I’m going to cut to the chase on this one. I LOVE THAT LAMELO BALL DROPPED 92. I don’t give two shits if he didn’t play defense. I don’t care if he was cherry-picking the entire 4th quarter. I don’t care if he had 30 layups. Don’t care, don’t care, don’t care.
I’m here for the content. I’m here for the pageviews. I’m here for the anger. I’m here for the reactions.
Most of you weren’t even alive when Loyola Marymount was dropping 145 on punks. Hank Gathers and Bo Kimble were launching shit from all over the court. There was no need for a shot clock because they were only burning a few seconds. That was fun. Gathers went 18-22 from the field against Saint Mary’s in 1990 and never attempted a 3-pointer. Run. Gun.
That brings me to what went down last night in Chino Hills. Run. Gun. I love it. Let’s see some baskets. Let’s see some threes mixed in with off-balance layups. It’s not like Ball can’t shoot.
LaMelo Ball, brother of UCLA’s Lonzo Ball, scored 92 points for Chino Hills High last night.

But, of course, you’re not here for my opinion. The NSFWBDs have their opinion and final word on what LaMelo Ball’s 92 point night means to the game.
