It’s going to be a rough day in the office if you scary easily, and that includes NBA players. On Thursday morning LaMelo Ball was heading to practice and feeling good after a win over the Raptors, and then he was met by a killer clown in the stairwell.
Like the Grinch’s heart, Melo’s voice rose three octaves this day. It’s not just the blood curdling scream, but the instinctive slap to the face — which feels less like an attempt at self defense, and more just getting his frustration out that he got got.
Then you add the layer on to the top of Melo singing “I’m way up, I feel blessed” by Big Sean right before having the crap scared out of him makes this simply one of the best Halloween videos you’ll see the year.
Truthfully, the vibes are great in Charlotte right now with the Hornets. The team is 2-2 on the year with close losses to the Heat and Hawks being their only blemishes, both of which came while Brandon Miller deals with a minor injury. Melo is back and playing stellar basketball. New coach Charles Lee has this team organized and playing well.
The only thing they have to watch out for is killer clowns.
