NBA legend Michael Jordan has not been able to emulate his success on the hardwood as an owner. After acquiring the majority stake in the Charlotte Hornets in 2010, the six-time NBA champion has had little success with the franchise. In the current season, the Hornets are 17-43, the second-worst record in the Eastern Conference. However, not many expected this from the Hornets this season. After coming close to the playoffs last season, many thought the team would improve this season.

But the Miles Bridges incident hampered the team. Also, the injury issues of star player LaMelo Ball have been a major concern as well. Furthermore, a recently leaked video footage could cause more controversy.

Michael Jordan dealt with a new headache

A video clip of Charlotte Hornets star LaMelo Ball recently went viral on social media. The footage shows Ball leaving the Spectrum Center in his car and reportedly not adhering to traffic rules. According to a compilation video shared on Twitter by a fan account, LaMelo ran the red lights. As the video went viral, fans flooded the comments with their take. Here are some reactions:

The fans were clearly not happy with the 2022 NBA All-Star’s actions. Many claimed he was driving recklessly and was worried he could hurt himself and others. On the other hand, some trolled him for his driving. Also, this was not the first time that fans questioned his driving.

However, there were some fans who supported the 2021 NBA All-Star. They believe that LaMelo did not stop because the Hornets fans could swarm him on the road if he does.

LaMelo Ball’s promise and struggle

LaMelo Ball was a national sensation because of his displays during high school. He went viral for making half-court shots effortlessly and during games. So there was a huge hype around his arrival in the NBA. The Charlotte Hornets selected him as the 3rd pick in the 2020 NBA draft. His addition brought a huge sense of excitement to the fan base.

The point guard hit the ground running and impressed fans around the world with his immaculate passing skills and shot-making. For his efforts, he won the Rookie of the Year award over #1 pick Anthony Edwards. Then in his sophomore year, he showed good improvement and averaged over 20 points per game. This earned him a spot on the All-Star team last season.
