LaMelo Ball was unfiltered after the Charlotte Hornets’ season-opening win … casually dropping an F-bomb during his postgame interview!!
It all went down after the 23-year-old guard had his way against the Houston Rockets at the Toyota Center on Wednesday … scoring 34 points, 11 assists and eight rebounds in the 110-105 victory — making him the first player in franchise history to record 30 points and 10 assists in the first game of the season.

Kemba Walker — who played for Charlotte from 2011-2019 before joining the team as a coach this offseason — dapped up Ball a few seconds right before his Q&A … which prompted the reporter to ask about the impact the former guard has had on his game.
“That’s my brother right there,” Ball said. “That’s my dog.”
“Like I said, he gang. I’m gang. We chillin’ all the time. I f*** with him, that’s family.”
Melo also wished his dad, LaVar, a happy birthday … as the popular Big Baller celebrated his 57th trip around the sun on Wednesday.
“Got the dub for him!”
It’s understandable for Melo to be excited after the game — he seems back to 100% after only making 58 appearances the past two seasons.
The former third-overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft has averaged 20 points, 7.4 assists, and 6.2 rebounds in his career — and now one expletive per interview in the 2024-25 campaign.
