LaMelo Ball is absurdly talented. Until he plays on -- let alone leads -- anything but a bad team, we're going to have endless debates about whether he's a true, substantive, winning NBA player. But there is no debating his talent.

On Saturday evening, the Charlotte Hornets played the Milwaukee Bucks in Wisconsin. The Hornets lost by a score of 125-119. Despite the loss, LaMelo Ball exploded for 50 points, six rebounds, ten assists and one steal while shooting 17/38 from the field and 6/17 from the three-point range in 40 minutes of playing time.

LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller put the Hornets on their shoulders to end the team's losing streak by beating the Pistons.
