With 7 seconds left on the shot clock, LaMelo Ball drove into the paint area right under the rim, and upon seeing a lack of options to pass the ball to near him, he managed to throw the ball outside of the three-point line to pass it to one of his teammates. Unfortunately, the ball was deflected by one of the Mavs players and it went right through the hands of the player LaMelo intended to pass the ball to, and landed right at the head of a fan sitting courtside, who couldn’t see the ball coming.
A few of the Mavs and Hornets players rushed to see the fan who was hit right in the head as she was in pain, but our very own LaMelo Ball went on the Hornets’ bench and hysterically laughed about the incident with his teammates and didn’t bother to match the fan. The world didn’t take his actions very well and deemed it mean with respect to the things he should’ve done post such an incident, laughing over it definitely wasn’t one of those things.
