LaMelo Ball Goes ABSOLUTELY CRAZY w/ QUAVO Watchng! TAKES OVER FOR 24 POINT COMEBACK!!
A gym in South Central Los Angeles turned into pure chaos over a 17-year-old with three fouls and zero points at halftime.
LaMelo Ball didn’t look like anything special for the first 24 minutes of this Drew League playoff game. He picked up three fouls in the opening five minutes, never got in rhythm, and finished the first half scoreless as his squad, Team No Shnacks, dug itself into a 24-point hole at King/Drew Magnet High School. Then the 17-year-old flipped a switch that turned a laugher into one of the wildest single-half performances the Drew League has seen in years — with Migos rapper Quavo watching from courtside the entire time.
- Ball opened the game with 3 fouls in the first 5 minutes and 0 points in the first half as Team No Shnacks fell behind by 24 points.
- He erupted for 24 points in the second half alone, attacking off the dribble and pulling up from well beyond NBA range.
- Ball tied the game at the regulation buzzer to complete the 24-point comeback and force overtime, sending the King/Drew Magnet gym into a frenzy with Quavo reacting courtside.
A Rough Start at King/Drew Magnet
The Drew League playoffs are famously unforgiving — no easy buckets, no easy whistles, and no shortage of ex-pros and current NBA guys running up and down the King/Drew Magnet High School floor. Ball found that out early. Three fouls in five minutes forced him to play cautious defense for stretches he’d normally attack, and his shot simply wasn’t falling. By halftime, Team No Shnacks trailed by 24 points and Ball’s stat line read zero.
For a player who’d spent the better part of two years drawing viral crowds everywhere he touched a basketball, a scoreless half in front of a packed gym was about as bad a look as it gets. Nobody in that building — including Quavo — expected what was coming next.
The Second-Half Eruption
Whatever adjustment Ball made at the break, it worked immediately. He came out of the locker room pulling from well beyond the three-point line, splitting double teams off the dribble, and setting up teammates with the kind of no-look, cross-court passing that made him a YouTube phenomenon in the first place. Possession by possession, the 24-point deficit started shrinking.
By the time the fourth quarter arrived, Ball had completely taken over the game, and the Drew League crowd — never shy about reacting to a big shot — was on its feet for nearly every trip down the floor.
Zero points at halftime. Twenty-four points in the second half alone. That’s the entire story of LaMelo Ball’s night at King/Drew Magnet.
Quavo’s Courtside Reaction
Quavo didn’t just show up — he stayed locked in for the whole comeback, and the cameras caught him reacting to every step-back three and every highlight pass Ball threw as the deficit disappeared. The energy in the gym fed off him, turning an ordinary summer playoff game into a genuine event in South Central Los Angeles. It’s the kind of scene that made the Drew League a must-watch stop every summer, and it’s exactly why clips like this one spread instantly once they hit YouTube.
Ball capped the comeback the way you’d script it — tying the game at the regulation buzzer to send it to overtime after trailing by 24 with a full half still on the clock. Team No Shnacks had gone from dead in the water to even, and Ball was the entire reason why.
Ball’s Drew League heroics came right before he packed up for a much bigger stage: a stint in Australia’s NBL, the next step in an unconventional pro path that had already skipped the usual college route entirely. A 17-year-old scoring zero points at halftime and 24 in a single half to force overtime is the kind of line that doesn’t need much extra context — it’s just what LaMelo Ball does before he leaves for whatever’s next.
