Melo's Mute Button Is On
- One minute read - 141 wordsBack on the court, but his lips are sealed tighter than a playoff defense. LaMelo Ball faced the media after that wild Uptown Charlotte crash that left his Hummer looking like a discarded toy and sent someone to the hospital.
And what did we get? Radio silence on the subject. Not a single detail about the missing wheel, the minor injuries, or how exactly one manages that particular vehicular feat. He dribbled around those questions faster than he does defenders.
The man just wanted to talk basketball. Cool, cool. But the rest of us are left staring at the wreckage… literally. A smashed-up Hummer is a pretty loud statement all on its own.
Priorities, we guess? Ball is back, but the real story is still parked in a tow yard.
