CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Say what you will about Charlotte's LaMelo Ball, but you can’t deny the 2022 NBA All-Star has his own style.
The Hornets point guard turned some heads on Thursday night when he for the team’s game against the Detroit Pistons that replicated Scooby-Doo’s “The Mystery Machine" — only a whole lot more expensive than the one Shaggy and Velma drove in the children's cartoon.
Ball, a big dog lover, was promoting the release of his Scooby-Doo x Puma MB.04s, which drop on Nov. 27.
Ball wore the bright, multi-colored Pumas during warmups, then changed into bright orange shoes for the game.
Ball said following the Hornets' 123-121 overtime win that he liked the decked-out rental.
But Ball stopped short of saying he might try to purchase it, joking, “I already got the Hummer, so I ain't even tripping.”
