LaMelo Ball, like other NBA stars, reacted to Sha’Carri Richardson getting banned from the 100 mts race in the upcoming Summer Olympics.
After testing positive for marijuana, the 21-year-old was suspended for one month. She still could participate in the Olympics once his ban is over and if she’s named to the U.S. Team in the 4×100 meter relay.
Melo sent a message on Twitter, expressing what plenty of people believe: marijuana is used for anything but to enhance your performance. Although he used a curious analogy, the message was clear, and Melo almost broke Twitter.
“if it ainβt crack let her run track,” the 2021 Rookie of the Year tweeted on Friday.
if it ainβt crack let her run track

This sparked a lot of reactions. People tried to make some bars like Melo, while others praised his rhymes.
She just smoked pot, give her a shot

Melo is a character, and he’s not afraid of showing off his comedy skills. The Charlotte Hornets point guard keeps making noise during the postseason, either it is with his off-court moves with the ladies or his hilarious comments on social media.
