Followed Melo from those early days. To see him go through all of that and still manage to end up going #3 in the draft and winning rookie of the year almost had me in tears. So proud of him for sticking with it. And so proud of him for telling Lavar he wanted to go back to the states to finish up high school - that's where things took a nice turn for him.

I'vr watched Melo since he was a 14 year old dominating with his brothers in Chino. I have his Chino Jersey, his Lithuania, his JBA Jersey, he's my favorite player. And this tells the the story perfectly. This documentary looks like something ESPN would make. Insane work. Round of Applause bro. Much respect

Whether you hate him or not, this guy just proved everyone he's gonna make it to the NBA. It's kinda funny how his haters switched to " he's not making it to the NBA to he's gonna be a bust in the NBA." That's how social media is nowadays where people would try to bring you down because they don't have the talent you have and they always find excuses to hate the person, not offending anyone but just based on my opinion. To all of you guys out there who wants to pursue your passion and goal, just remember to not let these haters take over you and no matter what happens just keep grinding and you'll see results.

The way the music shifted on the Spire part was a nice touch as I think that’s where his career really turned around and what paved the way for him being where he is today. The Lavar effect is interesting. He clearly pushed LaMelo really hard and adopted a tough love approach which made him work on his game and had a positive impact on his skills and work ethic, however I think Lavar enabling him to shot chuck and cherry pick and stat pad had a mixed effect. It got him fame and national attention which helped his career but bred so many bad habits that hindered it. So I find it hard with Lavar as he helped LaMelo’s career a tonne but also hindered it in other ways. Ultimately though I think he really needed Spire and it was amazing to watch his game evolve there. It’s like Lavar built him up as a brand and gave him the tools he needed to work hard and grind to improve his game, but he needed to shed Lavar’s influence to develop a well rounded game that could elevate teammates and work in the NBA.

Still remember him coming to Australia, went to see him in person, and he did his ankle the week before. But knew he was gonna be good. Hopefully the NBA continues to bless him
