Not much defense in the game on either side. But still, scoring 92 in a high school game is impressive none the less, I didn't think there was enough time on the clock to do it.
UCLA commit LaMelo Ball, brother of Lonzo, scores 92 in high school game
Lonzo Ball has some competition in his own family.
LaMelo Ball, the younger brother of the UCLA star freshman, scored 92 points on Tuesday night for Chino Hills (California) High School in a 146-123 win over Los Osos.
LaMelo Ball was 37-for-61 from the field and made only seven 3-pointers. The five-star sophomore went 30-for-39 from 2-point range.
Ball told ESPN's Myron Medcalf that his performance was dedicated to a classmate, Lexi, who is in the hospital.
His teammates, aware of the situation, encouraged him to keep shooting as the points piled up, Ball said.
According to his father, Ball had 29 points at halftime.
"And then he went crazy," Lavar Ball told ESPN. "I unleashed him."
Before Tuesday's win over Los Osos, Chino Hills suffered its first loss in 61 games over the weekend to Oak Hill Academy (Virginia).
Lonzo Ball tweeted, "That's one way to bounce back after a loss."
Lonzo Ball @ZO2_
Well I mean that's one way to bounce back after a loss I see you lil bro
"My boys get mad when they lose," Lavar Ball said. "[LaMelo] started on fire. Just attacking the rim. They tried to double- and triple-team him after he scored 45."
LaMelo Ball scored 41 of his 92 points in the fourth quarter.
Not everybody was happy with the performance.
Los Osos coach Dave Smith called it "a joke," according to the Los Angeles Times. According to the Times, Smith said Chino Hills players fouled on purpose to prevent his team from running out the clock and stopping Ball from scoring more.
"That's wrong," Smith said, according to the newspaper. "It goes against everything CIF [California Interscholastic Federation] stands for. The Ball boys are very talented and great players, but it's embarrassing to high school athletics. I've been coaching for 35 years, and we've turned high school athletics into individualism.
"It's amazing to watch a kid score that many points. But it's tough to say that's what CIF athletics is about."
"He loves to score," Lavar Ball said. "That's the type of things he's going to do next year on a daily basis. It's easy for him. He finally got to play his game."
The Ball family's middle brother, LiAngelo Ball, is sitting out the next couple of weeks for Chino Hills to rest for the playoffs, giving LaMelo more freedom in the offense.
LiAngelo scored 72 points in a game earlier this season.
Both LiAngelo, a senior, and LaMelo are committed to UCLA.

Blacks tend to prefer to make up their own names. They're not very good at it.

"LaMelo"? What a stupid name - especially for a male, as "La" is a feminine article.

Eh, no, most people couldn't care less about college basketball, let alone care enough to know the players.

I'm sorry. He's probably only famous to those who can read.
I'll try and be more inclusive in the future.

Are we assuming that Lonzo Ball is famous?
Never heard of him.

Is that true? In the highlights I saw, he was scoring in the half court, with defenders around.

He didn't get back on D. They just let the other team score so he could wait on the other side of the court to cherry pick.

Incidentally, regarding there being enough time on the clock to score that much Lisa Leslie once scored 100 points in the FIRST HALF while playing for Morningside High. The other team didn't even come out to play the second half.
I was about to post this. I still can't decide how I feel about this decision. I'm not a fan of quitting, but at some point you don't want your kids to be completely humiliated.

As a UCLA alum, this is obviously wonderful news. I watched the highlights of the game last night and it doesn't seem like he's going out of his way to take shots.

The interesting thing about that is that LiAngelo, despite scoring bursts of 72 points and 56 points this season, is by far the least heralded incoming freshman for UCLA next season.

That's the youngest brother. The slightly older one has usually been the big scorer this year, but it's the youngest who looks to have more potential.
