I hope they hold the kids parents responsible and not just try to make Melo take accountability for the kids foot. Some of these people be so pressed that they do stupid stuff just to get a celebrity attention. If you by a car, and they’re clearly trying to leave, BACK THE FCK AWAY FROM THE CAR. Now I bet this went from him trying to get an autograph from Melo, to the kids parents trying to sue the same person he wanted the autograph from smh
Back when I was at a Kings vs. Hornets game, my friend luckily caught Terry Rozier’s wristband as he was walking through the tunnel, and these crazy kid fans next to us were yelling out, “SNIFF IT!!” We walked away from them so quick.🤣🤣🤣
Idk about yall, but my parents taught me to never get close to a running car that’s on the road because anything can happen. Clearly that mom failed telling her kid about that, and the kid unfortunately paid the price. Play stupid games win stupid prizes, in what world is it a good idea to approach a running car that’s simply stopped at a stoplight for an autograph. I think LaMelo is a horrible driver, but this isn’t his fault at all.
You guys are assuming melo was involved without no proof. We see the level of embellishments in the lawsuit with the 'he looked him in the eye' so what else was embellished?
Maybe can the Hornets security find a safer way for lamelo to leave the facility? Shouldn't be peeling out near fans ever. Fans are crazy and unfortunately some parents send their kids in for these autographs.
Kid parents looking to get paid. Smh! Also, where is video of this incident? People record everything but yet we don't see video of this incident. That's what I need to see.
People, 25k is the minimum needed in order for it to be out of small claims court and into superior court which is why that minimum number was used. That does not mean that the amount was the plaintiffs demand. We are not privy to that information until either party goes public with negotiations. As far as we know this kid and parent coukd be looking for more than 25k..
Also, north Carolina is a contributory negligence state. Basically, it bars the plaintiffs from any compensation if the defendant can prove the the plaintiff contributed to their loss (like running towards a moving car trying to get an autograph). Most states in the US use comparative negligence where you can only recover if you are not more than 50% at fault for the loss. Then you have pure comparative negligence states like NY where you can recover from someone even if you are 99% at fault. So, if your claim is worth 1,000 you would get 10 bucks. I hated handling claims in NY cause a dude could run a stop sign right in to your insureds rear quarter panel when we had no stop sign and try to get 20-30% back for their damages knowing damn well they were 100% at fault. That's why NY insurance is high af.
I'm not really concerned about this lawsuit, and I've been a defender of Lamelo, because he is still a young kid and obviously a little immature, but it's getting about time for him to grow the f up. I too am starting to question whether he's more interested in being a star basketball player or just a star on social media or whatever the hell makes one a "star" these days. Ain't nobody got time for that.
Lamelo exits that garage every other day if not every day, so where’s all the footage of him driving out the rest of the times, there’s maybe 4 clips of him driving recklessly and we don’t know why, could be because people are swarming him, people get killed when people run up to peoples cars. No he shouldn’t be driving like that but it’s also scary when you see random kids/anyone running up to your vehicle
So draft predictions I think we trade back to 10 with jazz, select Cody williams, by trading back we get their 29th pick too and we trade our 2nd rounder to move up like 5 spots around 22-26 range and select Kyle Filipowski from duke
Very smart move, I'm a big Williams guy. I'm a Spurs fan so I have him, Holland or Matas at 8 (whoever falls) but trading back to get more assets would be good for your franchise.
@@PodiumTuningRacing Filipowski will be gone by pick 20 at the latest. I can't really get behind trade scenarios where we move down unless you get a first round this year and a future pick. I would rather take the best player available at a position that needs improvement -- perimeter defense and secondary playmaking with shooting upside. Holland with Castle as a follow up if someone snaps Holland early. If both are off the board, I'd look at Buzelis to improve front court options or Dalton Knecht if you think he's an NBA bucket. Clingan, Edey, Dillingham, Sheppard, Topic don't make sense to me. Risacher I would take in a snap if he does fall to 5 but I think he's going 2nd. Charlotte needs to work out Risacher, Williams, Buzelis and Knecht as well as Holland and Castle. Add in Clingan and Sheppard if you think they are supremely talented, but the fit doesn't work for me.
Brook Lopez did not learn how to shoot threes until 8 years into his NBA career. 8 years. LoH let's shake up our guest appearances here... I am nata fan (pun intended).
Speaking of security, what is the security like for the locked on hornets podcast? Are fences and blockades set up for when the hosts leave their respective recoding studios? How do Doug and Walker handle dealing with the paparazzi and women who chase them for autographs? I’m sure the locked on hornets crazy fans must be suffocating. Do they not know that Doug has a baby at home??
Nata has class! Direct your comment to the mom trying to cash grab when her negligence and bad parenting led to this situation happening in the first place.
Im going to keep it a buck. The paat 24 months with Melo has not been great for the franchise. Nobody can argue that. He hasnt helped the past 24 month(2 years). We freaking suck. How the Timberwolves and Pacers have better success than we do?!?!?
Melo should take full responsibility and pay everything but it's the kid and mothers fault. Id even put some blame on the security and blockages they have up
I think the security is the most at fault. There should be no way people should even be able to get to his car leaving the arena. Not safe for the players or the fans.
So it’s the kid and the kids parents fault, but Melo should pay, that’s the dumbest shit I ever heard smh fr you should just log off forever. Go read a book or something
@MansaZuu-ht7vb when you are the face of the franchise you gotta be the bigger man. Melo is at fault too with the way he drives and maybe take 30 seconds to sign autographs after getting a super max deal.
I have heard enough, kids should not be running out to cars driving on the street. Parent should be taking full responsibility for this incident.
I hope they hold the kids parents responsible and not just try to make Melo take accountability for the kids foot. Some of these people be so pressed that they do stupid stuff just to get a celebrity attention. If you by a car, and they’re clearly trying to leave, BACK THE FCK AWAY FROM THE CAR.

Those videos of LaMelo running that red light… now we know why.
Trying to get away like Lady Di

Why wait 7 months later to sue?? Weird to me.

He becoming more of a Ja than an Ant
North Carolina law says that hit and run is a misdemeanor crime and can be elevated to a felony if you injured the person who was hit.
Remember this would have been the old regime. This feels like a death wail of old Gaurd
Im not going to defend melo. Wtf has he dont for this franchise lately? Great, another "hes great when he is healthy" comment coming
With the money he makes and the money he is worth in the future, he should never be driving himself in the first place
Agree with Nata, just wait and see. Wes' take was an overreaction imo, everyone has some blame

You’re aware Brook Lopez shot 79% from the free throw line in college right?
@@konataedwards8227 a lot can change in 8 years.

WTF is that about Nata? What was the ethnicity of the fan? Stereotyping much? Have class man.

Per NC law, this kid will have a hard time getting any type of recovery.
