LaMelo Ball vs. Magic Johnson
Twitter user @Meloleague shared a tweet comparing LaMelo Ball’s two years in the NBA to Magic Johnson’s first two years in the league. When comparing the numbers, LaMelo is right there with Magic.
Of course, Magic had already won an NBA championship and a Finals MVP after two seasons, two things LaMelo has yet to achieve. Do you think LaMelo Ball has a chance to rival Magic Johnson as the greatest player of all time when he retires?
Maybe, maybe not. Still, LaMelo has a lot to prove, and he appears up to the challenge. To check out LaMelo’s and Magic’s stats after two seasons, check out the tweet below.
