The Charlotte Hornets' LaMelo Ball is undoubtedly a talented player, and the buzz surrounding him generally stems from his ability on the court. However, recently, Ball's driving skills have been discussed by many social media users, as he was recently involved in a two-car collision in downtown Charlotte at the busy Tread and Triton intersection.
Since the accident occurred on Thursday, days after he suited up for the Hornets in a matchup against the Houston Rockets, Ball was seen driving more cautiously in Charlotte, according to a post on Instagram by SportsCulture, with several social media users reacting to the recent incidents by saying that his poor driving was a regular occurrence.
As can be seen in the comments, many users talked about several incidents where Ball was seen driving recklessly, with some claiming that he came close to colliding with other vehicles and even people on several occasions. Although it is not clear whether social media users were joking that where there is smoke, there is usually fire.
Therefore, Ball being a bad driver seems to be a common sentiment among Charlotte residents, with many claiming to be aware of incidents where he was seen driving wildly.
Of course, the initial accident hints at something similar, with Ball's Hummer appearing to collide with another car that had the right of way. However, the post-accident clip, in which LaMelo was seen driving his red Rolls-Royce Cullinan, shows a stark difference.
This time, Ball was seen driving cautiously around a turn and seemed intent on ensuring that he did not collide with any other vehicle. This will be a huge relief to fans, who are well aware of Ball's importance to the Hornets.
